Running Away the Jiggle

My belly is so gross.  I don't mind it so much now because I'm able to lay around in baggy clothes and not care.  The few times I've tried to look nice have not been successful, but I can get by with one or two outfits.  However, when it's time to get back to work--I am in trouble!  My body's a different shape now--completely!  My hips and thighs are bigger and my belly is a mess--and so loose and blubbery!  I mean, I was chubby before--but not like this.  Camille was worth it--I'm not blaming her or mad or anything--I just need to get rid of it!

I started C25K today!  I feel awesome already--I love jogging.  I don't see myself doing any marathons (or even half marathons), that's just too long for me--I get bored.  I can definitely see me working up to 10K's and enjoying them a bunch though.  It was so nice to get out there and do something physical and to get my joints moving and my lungs pumping.  I know you are supposed to do this every other day...but does anyone think it'd be okay to do it daily?  Or just most days of a week?  I am not good at skipping a day of exercise, then going back to it--and I feel like every other day won't do much for weight loss.  I like cardio daily.

I didn't bring Camille (she stayed with Mom-thank goodness for grandparents close by!)--it's freezing outside and it'd be too bumpy I think.  I don't have a jogging stroller either--I figured I'd wait until I was dedicated to jogging regularly and she was big enough to handle the jiggle, then I'll invest in a good one if I'm still going strong.

Another big deal today:  I bought a Keurig Coffee Machine.  My husband has pointed out (repeatedly) that this is a huge waste of money because the K-cups are expensive and to drink coffee for the rest of my life will cost a ton.  I'd like to point out that he had the first cup from the machine--he loves it.  The coffee's just so fresh and it takes zero effort to make it!!  I love it.  Plus I can make hot chocolate without having to do much--I can put the powder in the much and hit start on the machine!  It has hot water--bam. 

Last high point of the day:  Camille's been fussy the past two nights, but then has slept BIG time.  Last night she went to sleep around 9 or 10 (after eating at about 7ish), and didn't wake up until 2am, then didn't wake up again until 9!  It was amazing!  I slept pretty much all night.  That sure made it easy to run today.  Tonight she's in her crib--we put her down and she cried and cried, but we toughed it out (Brian was outside putting the garbage cans by the road, and I was trying to hurry and write an IEP for work before I went to get her--she just ended up stopping her crying before I was finished).  I've really got to get her to sleep on her own by Christmas because we'll be out of town and she won't be able to sleep on me!  She'll have to be in her playpen, which worries me.  Goooood luck MammaPam (and goodbye 7 hour stretches between feedings).
