The New Me!

So, today was my first day of work.  I decided that since I was starting something new, that I would really start to change how I am.  Everybody that knows me knows that I have about 50 lbs. from the girls that I still need to lose.  YUCK!  I was blessed with only gaining about a 3 lb total with Mariah, so I need to take advantage of that blessing and start losing the other 2 kids weight.  So, I figure, okay...I will wake up early and go to the gym with my mom, and then go to work.  Well, after finally getting Mariah asleep (for good) at about 12:30 am, and waking up with her about 2 different times during the night, I woke up at 5:00 am to go to the gym.  I hop on the treadmill because that was really one of the few machines that were open.  I start walking, and increase the incline.  Then I would increase the speed, and then the incline.  I got to point about 30 minutes into it that I was walking at 3.5 speed and 15 on the incline.  I was seriously holding on to the top of the treadmill with both hands.  I finished having walked almost 3 miles in about 50 minutes.  Anyways, I get home, showered, and wake Brooke up and she gets up and gets ready.  Since I had gone to the gym, I passed up the sugary cereal, and ate something healthy, and not all that great.  I got to work, and was so productive.  I got everything that 1st grade had for me done with an hour to spare.  I really missed working as an aide.  I just love hearing the teachers talk about that they are so lucky to have gotten me to come back and work with them.  I ended up getting all my stuff done, and didn't stop working the whole 5 hours...and was pretty much on my feet most of that time.  MY LEGS AND BUTT ARE KILLING ME!!!!!  I am dying!  And then to make it worse, someone at the gym that I had subbed on their volleyball team a couple of weeks ago, saw me and asked if I could help their team out tonight.  I said of course, since I wouldn't want to let a chance to play volleyball go to waste, and now I am thinking...OH CRAP!  How am I going to jump!  Hopefully my uphill treadmill work will at least help me shape the area that is my rear end.  I need something that will actually hold my pants up.  Anyways, all in all my morning was good.  But I ruined all the work I had done up until lunch, when I snacked on 3 or 4 chocolate chip cookies.  Shoot!  Guess I'll have to go back to the gym again tomorrow!  Dang it!
