So, something finally changed in my mind and I have been able to get back into a good eating and exercise routine! It's hard to get outside and run since I have little Brian. I like to go running in the morning but he's asleep so I don't want to leave him by himself. So we bought a treadmill! It is the best decision I have ever made! Now I have been able to run every morning before work. I've started out lightly so i'm just doing 2 miles in the morning. Friday I have been taking a break and doing some core training so I can use Saturday for my long run. Tomorrow we're heading over to Capitol Lake so I can run. I'm pretty excited! I've really grown to love running and how I feel afterwards. I'm looking for some races to register for so I have a goal to work towards. I've been really interested in doing a triathlon...but i'm not sure if i'm up for it. I would have to get a bike and find somewhere to swim...maybe once I have a little more time to dedicate...but I could be easily persuaded if I had a training partner ;)
Today Joel called me at work and invited me on a date! We got a baby sitter for Brian which I was a little nervous about. He's 19 months but we've never left him with a babysitter besides my mom. So I was a little iffy about it but then Joel reminded we had some movie tickets! We've only been to movies 3 times since we've known each other. We're just not big movie goers. Anyways, i've had like 6 free tickets for over a year that I won in a contest at work so I figured we could finally use some. We ended up running a little late getting to the babysitter so we just went out to dinner instead. Joel picked the restaurant and he brought me to eat Indian food!!! So that everyone can appreciate this gesture I should explain something. Indian food is one of my favorites. Joel lovingly describes Indian food with words like "laundry soap" and "downy". So the fact that he chose that shows that he loves me! What a champ. Then we walked around downtown. I love the little stores there and walking around is one of my favorite things to do. We went to a nice little old book store and Joel bought me some encyclopedias! He really does know me. I love encyclopedias. I don't know, it's just interesting to read through them and learn about different things. It was a nice relaxing date night. Then we picked up Brian and headed home so we could settle down and cuddle up to some veggie tales. What a perfect life :)
