Today was the first day of my winter vacation, it was nice to sleep in, but I made the mistake of sleeping in until 11:45am! Oh well, my body must of needed it. This afternoon Patrick and I went to the gym with my parents, I decided to start the Couch to 5K training today instead of Monday. That is the first time I have jogged in a long time, but I did it. Even though it was only 2 minutes of jogging, it was rough for someone of my size, but I completed the 2 minutes without stopping, this was my first non scale victory of the day. I think I will train outside instead of using the treadmill, weather permitting of course. After the gym, Patrick and I went and did some grocery shopping for ourselves and got more ingredients to make some Oatmeal Carmelita Bars for Christmas Eve since they have become popular in my family. After grocery shopping we came home and I took a bath since I felt nasty after working out. I had another non scale victory at this point. I know it might sound like something I should of been capable of doing in the first place, but those of you who struggle with obesity will understand. I was able to shave my own legs for the first time in I don’t know how long. My poor husband has been helping/doing it for me for the past few years. That is one of the reasons that my husband is one of the most awesome husbands out there, thank you honey for all that you do for me. As a way of simple repayment, I am giving him a shout out on my blog for his blog, if you want to read about our cat, Rowan’s new cat toy that we got him this evening, check out The Dingleberry.
Tomorrow, Patrick has an interview and then on Monday he has another. I am hoping one of these pans out. It would be nice to have both of us working again. I wish him the best of luck, we even practiced for tomorrow’s interview. I think he will do fine. Tomorrow night, the family, Patrick, and I are going to the Cleveland Improv to see our favorite comedian, Mike Polk. I am very excited, this will be our 3rd time seeing him in the past few months, he is really hilarious, search him on YouTube, he has tons of funny videos up. That is my only real plan for tomorrow. Just going to stay home and relax probably, although it is finally payday.
