2012?!?!?

WOW its a completely new year. New year, new me in many ways! Preparing to get married and start a new chapter in my life with the man I love, changing my name (kinda sad actually I like my last name lol), and becoming a new and more determined me! I just can't believe 2011 just flew by! It seems like just yesterday I was BEGGING for 2011 to hurry up. 2010 was not the best year of my life, we found out in April 2010 my grandma (dad's mom) had cancer. Just out of no where one day she started having a seizure on her left side of her body, after taking her to the ER and transported to Wesley Hospital in Wichita they did a CT scan and found she had a mass on her brain, later determined to be cancer. It was successfully removed and we found out it had came from her lungs. From then on she struggled and never really gained full control over her hand. It was hard to see the woman who had always been my rock, who helped raise me and my brother after our Mom died (from a brain tumor when I was 7) struggle with every day things. Yet even though we could see her frustration she never would tell us and never let us know she was in pain and miserable. After a good fight we lost her fairly quickly on December 3rd. Just 12 days before the day that marked 15 years since the passing of my mom. Christmas was hard of course, then the day after Christmas our family dog suddenly died as well. NOT the kind of year people look forward to. With all of that behind me 2011 seemed like a blessing. And it was a wonderful year! Me and Jarid moved in together the beginning of February, He got a new job in my hometown in May and started the same day my niece Griffyn was born! Oh what a blessing she is! :) We moved back to my hometown the end of June, and he proposed in October and the holidays were wonderful! I couldn't of asked for a better pick me up year! I am so excited to see what 2012 will bring and to start my new life as MRS. Heidi Coe! I hope all of you had a wonderful New Years Eve! I know I did even though it was just sitting at my dads with some of my family playing card games! Well today is the first day I've ran this week. I had a little mishap last Friday..... hopefully you will find some humor in this because I know I sure did..... Friday night after I got off work I came home and changed and my friend Kim came over to go running with me outside. We were just about half way through our run when a car was coming (we were running down side streets)and so we went closer to the gutter. There was a truck parked on the side of the street so we figured we would wait behind it since it was dark so we wouldn't get hit! Still jogging and slowing down all of a sudden I was flat on my face! I have NO clue what happened, I didn't really feel like I had tripped but apparently I did, and couldn't catch myself in time! I skinned the palms of my hands and apparently pulled something in my left quad because it HURT. I jumped up and didn't feel too bad (no twisted ankles or anything) so we kept going. The next day I could barely walk my quad hurt so bad! But being determined I decided to do my last run for the week on Saturday. My body rebelled and I then decided to wait to run again until it was healed because it was a NIGHTMARE trying to run with a sore quad lol! And today is the first day it has not hurt! Started week 4 day 1 of the C25K today! not to bad! I didn't think i was going to completely die at least! Also news to report, I have officially decided to actually run a 5k! My SIL and friend Kim decided they were going to run one to keep motivated and to just say they have done it so I figured I would too! After all it is always nice to be working towards something! We have decided to run one on March 17th (St. Patty's day!) so hopefully I will be ready by then! Eeek! The only other thing to report on today is I am officially down 4 pounds since I started posting! 8 pounds since I started working out! YAY!!!! I am so excited!!! I have 2 pounds to go to be at my first mini goal, its a number I haven't been past in about 3 years! YAY! can't wait!!! Well I hope everything had an awesome hump day! work week if half over for most! (not me I work Saturday lol) Have a great night!
