Weigh in # 5-A little behind

The life of a working mom-BUSY!  So I can't post as regularly as I did when I was on leave.  My Tuesday weigh in came and went.  I didn't even realize it until I woke up this morning and Tommy asked me if I've been loosing weight.  I did the typical-Oh I don't know maybe-but secretly I was pumped he noticed.  I feel like I haven't but I think my tummy is creating this illusion-I'm not used to having a tummy!  I long for those days of my washboard abs again!  So I hopped on the scale (always first thing in the morning) and I had lost another lb!  Wahoo!! Now I am 165.  Only 30 more lbs to go!  It seems like a lot when I say it out loud but to date I've lost 20 lbs since the day I went into the hospital.  I had gained 40 but I ideally want to be 10 lbs lighter than my pre-preggo weight.

I am tossing around the idea of signing up for the Baltimore half marathon in October.  This means though that I would have had to start training-yesterday.  I have tried to squeeze in some runs but I just cannot find the time.  I am worried that if I sign up I won't be able to prepare-and I need a lot of preparation.  The problem is that Tommy and I have opposite work schedules.  When he's leaving I am coming home so I don't have anyone to watch her PLUS I haven't seen her all day so I don't want to waste any time I do have to spend with her.  I've thought about running at lunch but I've been working through lunch lately and I don't know if I can really get away for that long each day.  The other option is to get up at 5am-not happening-sorry.  Finally once I get to doing my long long runs on the weekends I would have to run when Tommy gets home which would make it really hot out or get up super early to run (sometimes he leaves at 6am) so again where is my time!?  What I may do instead is run the 5k.  That way if I only run here and there no biggie-I can do 3.1 easy.  I would still get to participate and have time to cheer on all of the halfers and marathoners after I finish.  I still haven't made a final decision but time is ticking-I need to register before space fills up.  More than likely you will see me running the 5k...maybe once we get into the swing of things I will be able to train for a half marathon in the spring.  I would much rather torture myself in the cold than in the heat and humidity.   

I've basically given up on having a real workout schedule.  I am trying my best to at least get in work outs on Saturday and Sunday and 2-3 other times during the week when I can.  It's a bit easier to do walks and work out videos so I don't have to miss time with my Lilly and she can be with me when I do these.  She often laughs at me when I am jumping around doing Jillian Michaels and when she does I playfully growl at her-you gave mommy this body and she often grins even wider!  hahaha!  She was so worth it.
