Life Update! :)

Hello Again!
I've been working for over a month now and I'm really enjoying the job!
I have been sick with one thing or another most of the time. I've heard it come with the job! When you work with kids (especially as the school nurse who sees ALL of the sick kids!) you are bound to catch everything until your immune system builds up! 
It's definitely come with some family adjustments, but I think my hubby and daughter have both started to adjust well! My daughter is staying with her Aunt 3 days a week and I'm pretty sure she loves it! My niece is almost 10 months old and she loves playing with her! 

I've actually been doing really great on my Iron Bombshell workouts!!
I am LOVING them actually!
I'm on week 5 and I can feel myself getting stronger!
I'm up to squatting with 50 lbs on my back!
I love me some squats! :)


I started Half Marathon training again this past Thursday!
It's for the Oklahoma City Half in April! :) I'm hoping I can get some good training in before this half so I won't hurt myself again.
I should be getting me some new running shoes next week and I can't wait!
It's long over due and I'm hoping for some bright, fun ones this time!
That's hard to find with my big,  size 11 feet! :)

I'm also trying to go to Stroller Strides classes more!
They have an evening class on Tuesday's and Thursday's for those of us who can't make it in the mornings. They also have a Saturday morning class!
I taught the Saturday morning class this past Saturday and it was fun!
I still enjoy teaching It as well! :)
I can't wait until the summer where I can go in the mornings again! :)

Well That's just about caught you up!
If I'm not working, playing with Sophie, cleaning the house, doing laundry or dishes, you will find me sleeping! 
Getting up at 5AM to workout makes you sleepy! 
As well as chasing a 2 1/2 year old around! :)

I couldn't ask for a better life though! :)

Have a great week everyone! :)

Starting over with something new.

Way back in 2012 I started running...for reals... I ran my first Virtual Half Marathon in June and then in the Fall, I started meeting up with a Moms RUN This Town friend 3-4 days a week to walk/run 3-4 miles with our kiddos in the stroller. We started training for the Cowtown Half Marathon and I started dropping weight. By December, I had lost 35 lbs (this was total since having Sophie, not just in 2-3 months) and I looked the best I had looked in a very long while. Then I ran the Cowtown Half in February of 2013, hurt my hip, stopped running, walked the Dallas Rock N Roll Half a month later and then stopped running for good until August of 2013. I then started trying to pick it up a bit here and there while also participating in Stroller Strides.  The thing is...I started gaining weight once I stopped running. Didn't matter if I was doing stroller strides. I just kept getting bigger. First it was just 10 lbs. I kept it at that 10 lb weight gain from August until January

Cowtown Half Recap!

On Sunday, February 24, 2013 I ran my first official Half Marathon!  Before the race started, I met up with these fellow MRTT ladies!  Pic from How My World Runs It was freezing cold (yes 33 degrees is freezing to this Texan! haha) and I was hoping it wouldn't warm up too much because I run so much better in the cold. I ended up wearing my jacket the whole time and was completely comfortable! We had a wind advisory in affect and I think the wind made it even cooler. This was also my first time to run with my new haircut and with my hair down! Didn't bother me at all! Short hair for the win! :) I was in the very last Corral to start. Yes, I know I'm slow. Get Over it!<---Saw that saying on several shirts throughout the race!  Looks like I need one! haha :) I had to post this pic, because I have no idea what I was doing, nor remember even taking it! Haha! About 20 min before the race, I headed to the porta potty's. Yeah, I should have
