I had probably one of the best visits with my mom this past week. I guess I finally feel comfortable with who I am, who my family is (Walter and the kids) and I don't need her approval quite as much as I used to. It has been kind of cool to become a peer with my mom. It's also wonderful to she her as a grandma. She is the coolest Grandma I know. She's young so she can do things, she's helpful, and she just loves being with her grandkids. She also knows to let me be Mom to Ben and Becca and that although she might not agree, she respects what we are doing. She doesn't always do that with my sister and nephew.

I was a lazy bum this week and didn't get to the gym. Monday is a new day and hopefully Becca will stay healthy and all week I can go. I really love doing our "circuit training", but I hate cardio! I keep going and the whole time while I'm on the treadmill or bike that I'm moving more than if I would be sitting at home. I challenge myself to go just a little bit further. I really want to do the 5K in July. Hopefully I can reach that goal and do it.
