Just an update
Posted by Kym under General
I worked out today with my husband. It was fun. Emma learned the cardio machines with her trainer. She said she liked the Elliptical machine the best… so that is great. I am hoping that she and I can work out together.
I’ve actually been thinking about doing a mini triathlon. There is one the end of August here. I don’t think I’m for it this year…but I do think I want to do it next year. What scares me the most is the running? I just don’t think I can do it. In my head, I don’t think my body can run. My head still feels fat. After 30 mins on the elliptical I feel so good… and I am like in shock every time that I can do it and get off the machine and I don’t feel like I’m going to die. I’m sure I’d feel the same way with running. It’s got to be at least 50% mental for me. My best friend runs, so I know she would help me and be very supportive of me if I wanted to go down this path…
I’m also busy working on PTSA stuff. It never ends. There’s just tons of work to be done and not enough people to do it. I am working on a fundraiser and I am hoping it goes well. Monday I’ll spend the day at the school presenting to the kids to get them hyped up about program. I’m bribing them with candy. That usually works right? Heh.
My Ipod is giving me issues. So I am trying to download new software for it and see if it fixes the issues. The level of connectivity with apple makes me suspicious that all these problems started happening after I refused their new version ten times…. Like they are trying to “convince” me to upgrade… ya know? I sound paranoid don’t I?
My kids are with Daddy at a work family function seeing the movie 8 Below again. I stayed home so I could get the PTSA stuff done and do some blogging. Isn’t that nice of me?
Today is our family day. We are going to celebrate tomorrow. It’s the 5th anniversary of Dinara and Noah joining our family. It was a cold and beautiful snowy day in Almaty, Kazakhstan when I heard the judge grant us permission to adopt Noah and Dinara. It was one of the best days of our lives. A day that is definitely worth celebrating as an annual event!

Running — try cool running’s couch to 5k. I am overweight and it works for me. You build up gradually and minimize the likelihood of injury.

i think if you take it baby steps at a time, you can definitely do a triathalon. I have a friend who started with a small race and now he does longer races, exercising is addictive
But at least it’s a good drug!

Congrats on five years! That’s just amazing. Good luck with the mini-triathalon. I think you can do it and what a message it would send to your kids. What an accomplishment for you!
