Day 15

I'm ready for a warmer day! I need training outside the confined four walls of the gym! In the mean time, I like being able to improve on my best mile time. Maybe one day I will run it under 10 minutes?! Who knows.  Today I went to the gym for my mile and Zumba. I am well aware that I need distance training but that isn't happening in the gym. It's too hot and I don't feel free. The thing I love about running outdoors (the only thing I love about running) is I'm in God's house! I enjoy the scenery and the one on one time I have to pray and get my head straight. It's hard to do that in the gym! I did my 1.00 mile today in 12m02s! Again beating yesterdays time which I am proud of, but my knees felt it. I am excited for the day when I can exercise pain free! It will come eventually, I just have quite a few pounds to shed in the mean time! It's a struggle, a work in progress, but I am working on it! I feel that this is my year, my time to shine! There are so many things I want to accomplish this year, like losing another 40 pounds, getting my CEN, and getting accepted into graduate school. Life as I know it is great, a blessing from the Lord above! I have two absolutely adorable, handsome, and fun loving little boys, a handsome, honorable, God fearing husband, a nice house, new car, and a job I love, great family and friends and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. What more could a girl want?! Well like I said, to lose 40 pounds this year, get my CEN, and get accepted into graduate school. Oh, and to run this 13.1!! I can do it! I will do it! I thought today was Zumba Sentao with Ben, but it was regular Zumba, don't get me wrong, I love Zumba, but I was hoping for the leg workout in Zumba Sentao.

This is me (in the middle) tonight with my two great Zumba instructors: The sis in law, Liza and Ben! I heart these two. They are helping me change for the better! A change that is long over due for my health! Thank you guys for helping me with my workouts! 

And another special thanks to ^ this man! Who makes my workouts possible, is my cooker of yummy, healthy meals, and my biggest fan! I love you baby! Blessed to call you mine! 

Love never fails...
