Gyms & Pizza

The work gym has been going great. I've been 3-4 times a week for the last 4 weeks. I can already tell a difference in my legs and a small one in my stomach. The scale is only down about 6 pounds but I think that has something to do with building some muscles in my legs. I started out thinking I was going to start the couch to 5K program over again but I got on the treadmill and ran for 21 minutes straight so no starting over for me. I'm definitely running slow but my first run was at a 4.3 and I'm up to a 4.7 for 26 minutes so I'm making good progress. It's also just wonderful to get out of the office and have an hour to myself.

Pete got a new job on the weekends delivering pizza. I don't think it will be long term but we could use the extra money right now. I'm tired of never having a car so we're going to save up the money to buy a second used car and build up our savings some. We'd like to have another baby eventually but we need some more money in the bank first. I got a raise at work so that should help some too. Now we just have to try not to take advantage of that 50% off discount at the pizza place too often. :)

Work Gym

I joined the gym at work. It's only $25/year so I really should have done it a long time ago. I'm going today with a lady I work with to check it out and I'm super excited. I have to go shopping this weekend for work out clothes that I can actually wear in public and then I'll probably be starting the couch to 5k program again on Monday.

In other news, Lily got her first bump on her head. I left the house for an hour last Sunday to go to Michaels and I came back and she had a big red mark and a huge bump on her forhead. She fell right in front of the entertainment center and knocked her head on the shelf under the tv. Poor baby. She's getting better and better at walking every day though!

Anyway, Off to check out the gym!
