Jogged for 2:05, Walked for 4
Well, it's been a day since I posted. I didn't get to jog yesterday; I went and visited my dad at his new job, and I helped out a family friend who just had a new baby but also has a rambunctious two-year-old. It was so fun playing with the little boy and cuddling the little baby. I totally got baby envy, haha! I want children so badly ... but we don't want to have children where we live right now. We are much too crammed in this glorified cardboard box, and WE don't even want to be here. We've bought a log home package that we want to build on our beautiful farm ... but so far, it's just dreams. Homes and dreams and babies ... *sigh* But it'll get here. And in the meantime there are short-term goals, like jogging!
As for tonight, I jogged for 2:05 and walked for 4 (I went ahead and bumped up my time, and it was a LOT easier to jog, lemme tell you!!). I went 2.207 miles, burned 278 calories, and it took me 51:00.
As long as I am on the topic of babies (since I've totally got them on the brain), I'll go ahead and share with you the names that we have picked out. We've got two boy names and one girl name (we want boys, so boy names are easier, haha!). Our first boy name is Phillip Taran, and he'll go by Taran. (Incidentally, I wanted him to be Taran Phillip, but my husband said that he didn't want our son's initials to be "TP," like toilet paper.) Our other boy name is Hunter Grover. (Grover was my husband's grandfather's name whom he adored so much [who unfortunately passed away a couple of months after we got married] ... but even the grandfather didn't like his own name, so we just wanted a name that didn't sound too bad with it. We thought Hunter was a good compliment.) And our girl name that we have picked out is Valancy Elizabeth.
One day I'll have my little ones, and I can't wait to be a mom. But I know when I am a mom, I will fondly remember the days when it was just my husband and me, so I'm just trying to do my best to enjoy these days while they are here.
Well, really fast, I'd also like to share that I made a low-fat parfait for my husband and me to eat for supper tonight, and it was so friggin' good!! Even HE liked it, and he tends to be diet-phobic. Sometimes, when it tastes so good to be good, who wants to even be bad?!?
Well, it felt good to get back on that treadmill. Thanks for all your support, guys! It's truly what keeps me going!
