mini toot

Not to take away from the baby excitement, but I just wanted to toot my own horn for a second... I ran 11 miles on Saturday! 11 miles! I feel like I can take on this half marathon next Saturday now. I only have to push through the last 2 miles now- so...toot toot!

I will update with race pics and how things went next week...

Dean Lucas Mullen

Josh's sister Sunny and her husband Rick just adopted a new little boy and he is so adorable. There is no question that he was supposed to come to them- they have an incredible story. They got approved to be adoptive parents on Wednesday and got a call the next day saying they had a baby waiting for them and they took him home that same day! What a miracle! They're going to be amazing parents and have been waiting so long for a baby that this little guy is going to be treasured beyond belief. We are so excited for them and to have a new baby in the family!

Sugar Crash...

...what happens the day after eating 5 extra large sugar cookies with frosting to "celebrate" Easter. I can't keep my eyes open- and wish I had a couch in my office to take a power nap on. Who ever heard of a therapist's office without a couch anyway! I feel sluggish, and have zero motivation to get anything done. You would think I would have learned by now that eating my weight in white sugar and white flour does NOT make for a happy girl. In the moment- very happy- 24 hours later- not so happy. For some reason I feel that I have to learn this lesson over and over and over...you get the picture.

Final Weigh In

So we had our final weigh in this weekend. I am so proud of Josh- he has lost 19 pounds! He has been a running machine- on Saturday he ran 9 miles and averaged 9 minute miles the whole time. He is going to kill this 1/2 marathon in May! I lost 10 pounds total- which I am happy with because I can get back into a lot of my clothes again. But it is not my final goal weight. I will probably never get down to my ultimate goal weight because I love things that taste good like french fries and brownies. But I am happy with my progress and plan to continue working at it. Hopefully I can lose a few more before the race so I don't have quite so much weight to heft around for 13.1 miles. But I feel like tooting the Miles horn today because I think we did great! Woot Woooooot!
