Outdoor exercise

Since the weather has been nice & we were waiting for the kids to get over all illnesses, we have been taking advantage by going for walks outside & playing with the boys. I do miss going to the gym & definately want to add it back into our weekly routine as soon as possible, now that Braden is definately out of the woods & doesn't appear to have any lasting side effects since his seizure.

We discovered that there is a trail that runs through the city & went for a 2 mile walk today. It was really nice & enjoyable. And I was proud of myself--I didn't feel winded, even at the end of our trek.

Also, I have had straight diet coke finally. Now that I have switched to all diet sodas, I am definately avoiding regular sodas, because I don't want to go through all the pain to switch back to diet. I am still amazed that I am able to drink it, after the many times in the past that I had tried diet sodas & failed. I guess I just had to be mentally ready to make that change.

Isn't walking great? I finally went for one yesterday (my first in about a week) and it felt heavenly even though I was sweating like a pig by the end of the 4th mile. Love that feeling.

Hope you're having a wonderful mother's day. You deserve it!
