Today was the big day! I decided to start the couch to 5k program, and I must admit, I was so nervous! I've heard amazing things about it, but I hate running. I am seriously out of shape, and just the past few days of dancing "Just Dance 3" has provided me with aches and pains in places I didn't even realize I had muscles!
I have some really amazing friends, 2 of my friends came along with me and encouraged me the whole way! I grabbed a bottle of water and stuffed my phone in my shirt and we were off! The app is super easy to use, it tells you when to walk and when to run, and it keeps track of the time and the distance. Tonight, our very first night, we went well over a mile!
Being with other moms, real moms with stretch marks and saggy stomach skin, it's reassuring like no other! These woman are beautiful, but they're not a size 2, they have imperfections and curves! I felt so great tonight, I think I'm still high from it! I'm looking forward to it, I'm going to try to stick to a schedule of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings after dinner to do my program. The other nights I will try to exercise too, just not as intensely.
I look forward to a healthier 2012, and a healthier life.

Dustin and I have been married 9 wonderful years! We enjoy being parents to our 3 beautiful children and living in Arizona (Ok, he does, I don't). We look forward to the ups and downs life throws at us, together we're unstoppable. Dustin's favorite pass-times are watching "The Sopranos", grilling, and looking at cars. I enjoy reading, blogging, cooking and baking. Together, we love spending time with our children and savoring every moment as they grow before our eyes.
Laila
The Strong Willed Child
Laila is 9 years old and the most independent child I have ever seen. Diabetes is only a stepping stone in the path to greatness for her, she's inspirational. Laila loves reading books, her favorites are Junie B. Jones and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Laila's a Monster High fanatic, she loves to play soccer and help out around the house.

Kenadi
The Flower child
This is Kenadi, the most laid back, happy child you'll ever see! At 6 years old she's full of life and laughter. She likes to just hang out and play, and has not a care in the world. She loves to eat, sleep, and chase after her big sister. Kenadi loves school and soccer, and can't wait for summer!
Dustin Jr.
Dustin Jr. is a handful, to say the least! At 4 years old, I've never experienced anything like him! He is wild, crazy, and so very boy! There are days I feel like I'll never be able to catch my breath, he sure keeps me busy! He loves soccer, TMNT, and board games. He will soon start kindergarten and can't wait to go to school like his older sisters!
YAY! It's great you found GOOD people to do it with, comparable people, there's nothing worse that starting out with a marathon champ! Keep it up wonder woman!
