Running and falling and being a bit happier

Since I last wrote there has been a rainbow in my life. The sun is piercing through the clouds and I have many silver linings.  Thank goodness. It was all getting a little bit too depressing for my liking. 


Of course, this is due several gnawing factors. The return of my hero soldier husband; the cusping between past poor behaviour and future normal and happy behaviour of my middle child; the upturn in my career and the imminent house move.  It has been a long time coming. I shall not miss this year.


So Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat. Actually, it's not the goose I need to worry about. It's my progressively widening posterior. I started a new exercise regime of running and Wii fit plus. It was going so well! I ran the length of the beach at Newgale in Wales with my friend I havent seen in about 3 years.  It was brilliant. She gave me such confidence about running, even though I had left my sports bra at home and had to wear a lacey underwire one, and hold my chest as I ran along. I don't know how I did it. We had been running for ages in little bursts of fast and slower, and then I got this sudden craving to stop. I was so upset at myself and then got mad and told myself if I could give birth to 3 boys of above average weights (10lb 5 oz, 10lb 4 oz and 8lb 10oz) that I could run another 100 meters, and so I did. I ran as hard as I could. It was amazing. And when I got the the end my boobs were still inside my bra and I still had a heart beat so it was very rewarding. She was running still and clapping my efforts. I think that's the first time I ever ran with someone without them laughing at me!!!!!!!


Anyway, I got home and with the first sprinkling of snow, slipped on the ice on my footpath, tore something in my knee and ended up in casualty.


That's the end of the running then. 


In the meantime I am sticking with the wii fit plus now.  There's no ice to slip on in my living room and who cares if my boobs wobble out of my bra? I know one person who might actually find it preferable!


I shall let you know how the reunion went with my husband another time.  It takes a while for the men to settle back in at home and getting used to each other again is a bit like moving in with a stranger for a while. So, as to avoid writing how much he generally annopys me, I shall leave it til another time. There are many of you who have been asking on Twitter. It shall be my next entry. 


Until next time, I shall leave you in the knowledge that I am a much happier person.  My children are not at present being bullied and i am getting there with the job.


Jog on!
