The scale was not happy with me (251...ugh...only a pound since last week, but up from 246 two weeks ago) but my body was. I hit the pavement last night with a renewed sense of motivation and energy. And today I was greeted with the familiar aches and pains, but they weren't accompanied with the feelings of exhaustion I had by the end of last week.
Seriously, thanks to the exhaustion, this past Saturday and Sunday were a total wash for me...I woke up Saturday and a half hour later was already taking a nap, and Sunday I napped off and on from 8 AM to 1 PM. I. Was. Exhausted.
One of my best friends, Rachel, is in school for personal training, and even though she lives two hours away, I'm allowing her to use me as her "guinea pig" as far as advice goes. Obviously with the distance, she can't work WITH me, but she can give me pointers. So, starting tomorrow, I'm implementing them once again and I sure hope, hope, hope that next week I do NOT see a number in the 250s on the scale. Or else I might kick it. And that, my friends, would hurt my toes.
Anyway, I'm sure more of you are interested in reading about my adorable daughter than my inability to move my fat ass.
We hit another linguistic milestone with Angelica this past week. This girl loves to tell stories now. Complex ones at that. For example, yesterday when I picked her up from daycare, her teacher, Ms. Lisa, told me that she didn't want to sit on the potty that afternoon. So while I was loading Angelica in the car, I asked her if she used the potty at school.
She said: No, I was crying on the floor, and then Ms. Lisa put on my dinosaur diaper!
Me: Why were you crying?
Angelica: Because, the potty it was too big for me.
Me: Oh, did you need help?
Angelica: Yeah, because it too big and I scared.
Me: Oh, I see. Well, next time, just tell Ms. Lisa you need help, okay?
Angelica: Okay.
I also asked her who she played with at school, and she named every single teacher and classmate, and then said she didn't play with one of them because "she is on bay-cation!" Sure enough, that particular little girl is on vacation :)
Alright, so these conversations may not seem so cool to someone reading this blog, but they were cool to ME since I'm finding more and more that I can now have meaningful conversations with Angelica.
In other news, Scott introduced Angelica to the Nintendo DS this past weekend. He popped in Nintendogs and Animal Crossing for her. Nintendogs was her favorite and she even knows how to operate the menus to get out a bubble wand to blow bubbles for the doggies. She keeps walking around with the DS saying "Mommy, this is MY special, okay? You no touch it." And so the obsession begins... :)

Your running success is just as interesting to read as your little girl!
Hope all goes well for you this week, it is a tough game the exercise and weight loss but well worth it in the end.
The conversations are fun, huh? I love them! It is so nice to actually be able to find out from them how their days were.
