Running?? Whaty wha??

I've had an urge to run lately. What's up with THAT?? It comes and goes and is so weird, I have to stop and think "where did that come from?" I am not and never have been a jogger, but it seems when I'm outside I just get this "you should RUN!" voice in my head that tells me to break out into a jog. And I have still been big time lacking in exercise, meaning I'm getting pretty much none.

I think maybe it's partly because my body is telling me that it would now be much easier to move, with 42 lbs. less of it to move around.

So, this morning I went for a jog!

LOL, ok, so I took the garbage can out to the road, and jogged back to the house!! So that's what...about a zillionth of a mile?! It felt good! So then I got on the treadmill and did a mile, walking though cause that stupid belt still slips and yikes, I don't wanna be at a full run when it slips. Still, I did it at 3 mph, so a 20-minute mile, which is pretty much where I always start when I start exercising again.

The scale hasn't been moving at all lately, and I know I need to exercise. I really do know it. I just gotta DO it. Just DO it. : ) I know I'm not taking in enough calories to support my weight without losing, so it must just be another one of those lovely stalls with the scale.

I even thought about joining the gym again and not telling the family, cause they'd want to go too and we just can't afford $100/month for everyone to go. It would work now while I'm off work, but when I go back, that would probably be the end of that too, and a waste of money. Sometimes I wish I lived closer to town so driving to something like a YOGA class wouldn't be such a time/gas issue too.

So I'm still figuring this all out. Guess that's how life goes though, isn't it?!
