whoo boy...

So sorry for the long absence!! I am typing this entry from the office of my new home in Wisconsin... I'm sure you can understand the lack of updates during the last few weeks, its been quite busy. I'm still surrounded by boxes and things laying about. I still have a billion little loose ends to tie up. And I can't find my damned Garmin Forerunner ANYWHERE!!! ARGH!!!

The good news is that I've been putting on the shoes. In order to get back in the habit, I have resolved to get up every weekday morning for the next two weeks and put on the shoes. So far Monday and Tuesday were both successful. I'm not running for very long, or very far, but the shoes go on, and my butt goes out the door.

And its helping me in other ways too. I've dropped the 5lbs of vacation weight I put on during our road trip, and the salt-bloat from all of the rich food is subsiding. I am up early enough to have breakfast with my husband which is a VERY nice change for us... and I'm getting more accomplished before 10am than I did in a whole day back in Washington.

I think its going to take a few weeks for me to get used to living here, but so far its been a positive experience. The people I've met are very nice and very welcoming... Grandma and Grandpa have already proven their worth by taking the boys off our hands a couple of times, and the new house is really lovely and I'm enjoying filling it with my random crap.

One month progress pics will be taken the third week of July to compare with the ones I'm taking now. I have ones from a month ago as well (aproximately 3weeks post partum), but I'm mortified by them, and I may not post them... we shall see.
