Hey there. I have been hibernating. This winter kind of kicked my butt mentally. I stopped exercising when the weather became too cold and I retreated into the house. Life proceeded to move on whether I felt like staying in bed all day or not. Of course I kept pretty busy with the kids and my household duties. I may have stopped exercising but I didn’t turn into Peg Bundy.
I did have a little bout of anxiousness there for a minute that threatened to take away all hope of peace of mind. I blame it on the dreary weather and the lack of chocolate/simple carbs in my life. But just when I thought I was going to have to run away to some beach somewhere the sun came out in Tennessee. Adam pumped up the tires on my jogging stroller, I laced up my tennis shoes, put on my spandex pants ( yikes!) and put my feet back on the pavement.
I am happy to say I feel like a different person. We have opened up our windows and turned the ceiling fans around. It’s Spring in TN and I do believe I got the spring back in my step. And a little pollen in my nose.
Gradually I got the twinkle back in my eye.
And while life won’t ever be perfect…blessings seem to be around every corner.
And even though I am out of hibernation…a girl still needs her beauty sleep.
And clearly some sun on my pasty skin.

3 – I love you and I miss you/wish we lived on the same street instead of 12 miles away!
4 – Muah!
I was right with you on the hibernation! Just last week I got my ass out of bed 3 times before the kids got up and went for my morning run with my dog. It felt soooo good! Don’t know why I felt the need to take the winter off. Sheesh!
Glad you’re back
