March Update

I am a bit behind, but I seem to be nothing but behind these days!
My goals for March were Start Exercising, Get Everyone Healthy and Get Organized.

I started the Couch to 5K (C25K) a few weeks ago, thanks to Danielle and her inspiring progress!  It has been really nice.  I worked out an arrangement with M where he takes the kids to the neighborhood park so I can meet them there when I'm done.  This is a nice time of year, so the weather has been great.  One of the biggest reasons we bought in our neighborhood was the green belt.  I run through the neighborhood

                                                                

and then it goes around a small bayou.

                                                             

I see people down there all the time, but I think they're crazy because we do get alligators.   It's a nice way to wind down.  When the weather gets too brutal, which it will, I'll have to move my workouts inside.  For now, though, I am enjoying my runs.  It's not as difficult a I thought it would be and I feel great.  I highly recommend the program!

We had a good month, health-wise.  I think that getting everyone outside helped and both kids are really enjoying the weather.  We travels to see my parents for Easter and even got L to collect some eggs at the community egg hunt.  He was so tired from the fun that he fell asleep riding on M's shoulders as we walked home.

                                                        


I got a new dress for Easter and I think I see a bit of a change because of the running! (pardon the blurry phone pic)


                                                            
                                                    

The only ting I did not accomplish was the organizing.  That was a big, giant fail.  So, I will move that to this month's goals, again.

My goals for April are:

1) Keep Running!

2) Get Organized - unpack boxes, unpack boxes and unpack boxes

3) Make more of an effort to spend time as a family at least one day per weekend

4) Start taking more photos

5) Get my garden started
