It was nice out today and I had a massage booked after work so I didn't want to run and get all sweaty.
Instead, I decided to go out for a walk.
Everything is melting so walking is a little difficult, there is either sheer ice covered in water so it's super slick, or there are gigantic puddles that span the whole of the road so there is no way to get around them, you have to just walk through.
My feet were soaked when I got home.
Crystal ended up calling me in the afternoon to move my appointment to next week because she is really sick.
I hope she feels better soon!
Haylee asked if I could watch the girls after work, she had to work.
Freya had dance from 4 to 5.
As soon as she got home, she wanted me to make her noodles.
Eden wanted some too.
After Eden finished eating, she decided she wanted a nap so prepared beds for herself and Papa in the living room.
I love her little voice.
Freya had her little friend Theia over for a visit.
I had a Mission Possible meeting at 7 and I still needed some steps so I decided to walk over there.
It was a gorgeous evening out, very mild.
Still very wet and icy and I stepped right into a huge puddle so my feet were soaked for the whole meeting but I survived.
Walked back home too - Kody was there to pick up the girls when I got there so I didn't get to spend any time with them.
I was happy with that seeing as I ate several slices of pizza yesterday.
I'm still down since last week so I'm moving in the proper direction.
Just got to keep going.
I hopped on the treadmill on my lunch hour.
It was gorgeous outdoors and I had thought of going outside for a walk but I really wanted to run and it's so icy outside I knew I wouldn't do it there.
I started off doing a 3 and 1 run, so run 3 minutes, walk 1 minute and repeat.
But on the second round of 3 minutes, I tried to push it to 5 min then 6, 7 until I got up to 10 minutes running and it didn't feel that horrible.
I walked for a minute then I ran another 10, walked another minute then did another final 10 minute run before finishing off with a 3 minute cool down.
I felt so good.
It's taking some time but I know I'll get back to it, my goal is to be able to run 5k a couple times a week by the time March gets here.
I was very proud of myself.
After work, I just kind of chilled until it was time to go to curling.
Mom had cleaned the house today - it is so nice to come home to that - I appreciate it so much.
It was off to curling at 7 pm.
We only had 3 players on our team and the team we played against only had 3 players as well.
And we were the only team that played.
So it was really quiet in the rink but it was a good game and it went by really quickly.
And we won so that was good too.
Freya drew this the other day and had planned to give it to her teacher, even got Jason to write that on the back.
Then she decided to keep it and I'm so glad she did.
I woke up really early this morning, like 5:30 am.
I couldn't fall back to sleep so I got up and made a coffee.
I was going to watch the new Bridgerton series or the new Downton Abbey movie but when I opened Netflix, one of the suggestions for things to watch was Everwood.
Shennelle has been watching it and was talking about how good it was so I thought I'd give it shot and watch an episode.
I really liked it a lot.
It came out in 2005 and there are 4 seasons so I will be watching it for the next while.
I checked the paint in the kitchen, I wanted to make sure that I didn't need to put on another coat before I pulled the tape off but it looked good so I took all the tape off.
Nadine called and needed some help with a Cricut project she is working on so Freya and I walked over there to help out.
Back at the house, Jason hung out with the girls and I hopped on the treadmill to get the rest of the steps in that I needed for the day.
I didn't feel like running so I didn't - but I will need to try to get some running in next week.
I want to make my way back to being able to run 5k's consistently.
Didn't really break into much of a sweat today but still felt good anyway to reach my step goal.
Jason got his pizza oven ready for pizza cooking today.
I love pizza so much - I know it will likely affect my weigh in tomorrow but that's ok.
It's very thin crust with very few toppings so it's not horrible.
He made several, he made a couple with just cheese.
A couple with pepperoni.
Then the last one he added green olives to.
The green olives are so good on pizza.
Kody came to pick the girls up after supper, they wanted to have ice creams before they left.
So yummy.
She thought it was funny to have the ice cream all over her lips.
Ready to go home.
I didn't get to either my craft room or Jason's office this weekend but having the girls was worth it.
I'd pick spending time with them over anything else.
I'll get to it this week during the evenings.
We watched the first episode of The Christine Jessop Story tonight.
It was very disturbing and even though I watch Dateline a lot, some of the stories just kind of stick with me and this is one of them.
I don't know if I want to watch the rest of it.
So I went online and read up on the story to see if they caught the killer.
It is so hard to believe that someone could do something so horrific to another human being, especially one so small and helpless.
I was thinking about it still when I went to bed so it was hard to fall asleep but eventually I did.
