Being inspired...

There is inspiration all around me. I love it. In the form of television shows, in the form of people I know, in the form of books. It's easy to find some inspiration to get motivated on something. 

My next big plan is to start running (gee, there is a shock, I haven't mentioned that before!!). It's now less than three weeks until I can run again (provided the doctor says it's fine, which I am sure she will!!). So, gearing up to that, I have begun to do a little bit of walking, and it is just fantastic!! It's so nice to be moving and sets an excellent example for my boys. I plan to walk again today... we'll see. My mom is making it even more possible. She gave me a very cool gift, in the form of a new seat for our stroller. I had a one kid stroller, but the beauty of it, is, with an extra seat, it becomes a two kid stroller, so now, I can put both boys in it and head out the door. I think maybe we'll go to the park, or maybe to the gym so that Sebastian can run around a bit. All depends on if they have the open time for toddlers. 

I hope to find myself a trainer in the next couple weeks. My husband gave me personal trainer money for Christmas, and I intend to put it to good use, with someone who will push me like Jillian on the biggest loser. I want someone to help me put together some goals and a plan to achieve them. For now I need to start researching which races I want to train for. 

I need to get inspired to eat better. I'm not sure where that motivation will come from. I will still enjoy little treats, in moderation of course, but need to find some good meals that are quick and easy to make and full of veggies and other good stuff. I need to remind myself that the higher quality fuel (food) I consume, the better I will be running as a person. And, the easier the exercise becomes since I have the most efficient fuel going in. And really, I should clean out my cupboards and get rid of some of the less efficient stuff...
