So - I haven't walked the past two days. It's pouring down rain today and if I ever start something indoors the boys star jumping on me and forget about it! ( I did try - both days)
So I need to figure it out what to do in rainy days... (not like I don't have a gym membership that I could use it - lol) I just can't get motivated to go to the gym by myself! (I do believe it will get better as I feel better about myself! I do have some self confidence problems at the gym! =oP
President's challenge
I DID IT!!!
Signed up for this:
Signed up for this:
Recent studies have shown that getting 10,000 steps (5 miles) per day improves fitness levels and promotes a healthy, more productive and confident lifestyle. Do you know how many steps you take each day? A non-active person may only average 900 to 3,000 steps each day. A reasonable goal for most people is to increase average daily steps each week by 500 per day until you can easily average 10,000 per day.
I did
I did walk my 3 miles today. Ran on the cemetery til the "yellow gate" (Maybe 0.1 mile? haha)
Lots and lots a whizzing - my breathing is still very heavy - chest and sinus very full and congested.
Benji said last night while I was laying down if him trying to get him to bed:
B: "Mom - What is that noise? Do you hear someone talking?
Me: No baby, it;s not talking, it's mama's chest that is whizzing - blah blah blah.... I explained
A few minutes goes by - he was trying to get to sleep and says :
"Mom, You can go sleep with daddy now; I can't sleep when your chest is talking" =D
And MAN! I still miss my scale SO bad... I might have to bring it back home this week! =]

Time to turn this "bad cloud" around
So if one good choice leads to another - the opposite works even better!
I was working at Boost this morning on a marketing research and man - I junked out... the mini size chocolates all over the place was just way to tempting!
Cause I was up at 6am I had a ton of coffee and cream (Haven't had coffee in months!) and from then on just went from bad to worst!!
I'm even afraid of getting into the scale this week!
I did my regular route of 3 miles. Tried run on the cemetery and well - didn't even make it to the "back poll" - sad! And I'm now eating a 5 oz bar of Hershey's - I know, I know...
I'm loosing!
I'm gonna start colon & parasite cleaning tomorrow!

Yes for Chicken Chimmies! =)))
Today I missed church - my head is so congested and the boys did awful during the night, so Dan got the boys and left for church - I slept in another hour.
We had plans to have lunch at the Mexican place by our house with Tati & Perry so I combined the need + a pleasure and just walked there.
Dan was driving there to meet them but had to stop and get me because I was gonna be late - still I think I did pretty good!
Walked from my house to a parking garage by Kings Island; a total of 3,7 miles in just a little over 45 minutes. It was a down the hill route so that just made me want to run - so I ran 1/2 block - walked 1/2 block.
This was my best timing by far - Also the most I have ever ran this past 22 days. It felt so good!
Learning from my mistakes: I placed my id and my debit card in the bottom of my shoe - didn't think it was gonna make a difference but that foot - Oh it hurts!!!! =oP
Other then that I feel pretty good! My body was burning hot (It was a hot Sunday morning - well noon-ish time) and I was dripping sweat! That wasn't very pleasant at the restaurant but I eat that Chicken Chimichanga without think twice! =)))

Lots and lots to say at 21 days
This week I really had a feeling I was loosing the momentum.
Crazy withdraw!!! C R A Z Y !!! I cannot tell you how many times I walked into my laundry room to weight myself!!!
Well - a little explaining: I was checking my weight about 5 - 6 times a day - no joking - so I left my scale at my Chiro's office. So this is being a week of withdraw to me and it's being quite hard!
I'm dieing to know what I weight now - not for a good reason - if I'm under of what I expect I ususally go crazy on snacks and junk - when I'm up I shut my mouth! SO this past few days I have not junked out yet! (and that may just be a very good thing) *feeling totally weird about this addiction*
Today was day 21. Dr. Pam always told me that you need to do something 21 times for it to become a routine/habit. Today is day 21 since I started taking my walking serious, and to be honest - it doesn't feel like a habit yet!
Like I said - for a minute there I lost the momentum. I do know now that what was making me feel so "weird" this past week was a bad cold. I have a full sinus, lots of drainage, earache and sore mouth (Cause I can't spell throught - yeah - that doesn't sound right! spelling anyone????)
But the good news is - that even with all that and more (the more to come soon) I still made it:
Thursday: 3 miles on the regular route
Friday: 3 miles on the regular route + a block
Saturday: 3 miles on the regular route
How did I do it? Everyday I left with $2,00 thinking "I want a chocolate so bad, but if I just have a bar I will feel so guilty, so I will walk and only take so much money with me and when I'm done I'll stop at UDF and get a chocolate bar or an ice cream"
Another good news is that I went in and out with the 2 bucks twice - Today I couldn't;t resist so I did have ice cream. But still 1 out of 3, that is VERY good for me! =)
Also I tried adding some running into my walks - here and there when I get that urge to run I just do as much as I can.
- hideous - it's what I say because I can't run much, but I guess we need to start somewhere!!!
Believe me or not I already have seeing some improvement. I always start at the same point - at the cemetery, and the first few times I couldn't pass the first "stop light" - today I was actually able to go all the way to the "yellow gate".
It was actually a very cool situation - as I started I didn't think I was even gonna get to the big "black poll" I being trying so hard to get to it this past week; but surprisingly after I passed that "black poll" it's like my breathing got easier again and I was able to make it to the "yellow gate" (which is like another 0.0001 miles - lol) but anyways... I did it!!! (Hey - funny landmarks I have??? - lol - the black poll - yellow gate lol)

Guess what hurts me the most when I walk???
MY EARS!
Yeap - my little 1/2 round lob part that "hangs" inside of my ears hurt from the headphone! It's like my nice delicate little ears got rapped by my headphones!!!! I need to find an alternative! =)))
Anyways - this was a pretty long and confusing post and if I go back and read I will make it worst - so I just hope if we ever need any of this information we can understand it!
Have a good one people! And don't forget to wake up extra early tomorrow and a nice walk! =)))
Luv ya all!

Blah!
I feel so light headed today I didn't get brave enough to walk in the rain. My through (sp?) is sore and I just can't keep focus... feel like everything is spinning around me! =oPPP
I sure hope I feel better tomorrow! It's a pretty yucky feeling!
I did about 1 hour of stationary bike - but I'm not sure why that doesn't really feel like anything to me! =(
I didn't think I would ever say this in my life but I do miss my walk! =D

Tuesday was a total of 5 miles
Monday after my walk that little head pain went away... I being doing a little routine whenever I feel a migraine coming (Sombra on my neck and blue oil on my temples and forhead) it's being working most of the time!
But yesterday, Tuesday I walked 2 miles in the afternoon while Noah was on speech therapy - it was so hot - the sun was out there - so not to my surprise by 6pm I had a killing migraine - first of this past week - it seem to start wuite often but it goes away - well not yesterday!
So by 8 pm I walked another 3 miles hoping it would help! No deal! =(
After the walk I took a imitrex and went to bed, and this morning it's gone! =)))
Raining today! I'm SO looking forward walking in the rain! =)))

Benjamin has an imaginary dog - it sounds a lot like my BIL's dog - it does have the same name and all ~ He's being feeding it, playing with it, it goes to bed with him... they fetch!! =) Funny funny!
He says: "he is big, black & white and has lots of hair"
I'm glad it's imaginary hair too! Imaginary poop and pee! =))) lol
Don't take me wrong - I love animals, our house in the other hand is not a very place for them at this time!

Double today again
Today I did 2 rounds on my "regular" 3 miles track. So a toal of 6 miles. I do feel like a migraine coming =oP
Double dose
Feeling very guilty from a 2 slice of veggie pizza for breakfast and 2 skipped day this week - today I woke up and walked my "regular" = 3 miles in about 50 minutes.
Then this evening I did at least another 4 miles (For what I could track). I walked from 6:50 to 8:20pm
Now I feel a little migraine coming - Did I do too much?????? =(

I tried
For some reason I didn't get my walk today - I did clean my car!!!! =D haha
Anyways... so I felt so bad that I got the pedals we have upstairs (like the picture below) and try doing it.
Well - bad idea all around.
First Noah wanted to play with it - so the time passed - I was almost ready to go to bed when I started and did about 30 minutes.
Second - I GOT BURNED! The actual pedal's holder got so warm (I was pedaling pretty fast) - I mean they got hot! I touched and burned my hand - if that wasn't enough I touched the side of my food and got burned.
It even smelled like burned plastic! I guess those things aren't made for "intense" use - lol
My burns were pretty bad - like a curling iron! My food one turned into a blister! =oP

Another good choice
So after the closing program for VBS was over today everyone went to Tati's house for ice cream and AGAIN I was gonna skip the walk - so instead I went to my walk; Dan took the kids to T's house... so besides skipping the ice cream I also got 45 minutes in! Not a whole lot but again - better then nothing! =) and Still resisted the ice cream and COOKIES when I got there!
There's a comercial out there - for some granola bar, I can't remember which one now but anyways... it says:
"One good choice leeds to another!" =)
I say: Let's live it up!!!!

Tuesday I walked 3 miles - regular route
Today, Wednesday I did 4 miles - Regular route again. Didn't even get to run the cemetery. Not giving up!
Migraine didn't wake up with me on Tuesday - What a blessing!!!
Now - today I skipped - Doing VBS and I feel that if I even try to walk today I will beat up my body and I'll fall sick! Trying hard not to skip tomorrow again!

Oh no!

It was Tati's birthday at the park - we got home too late - next weekend I will try walk in the morning - cause this sounds like will happen every weekend.

Blood work results
Yesterday I had a blood work done - not even 8 am this morning I got a phone call from my Drs. Office with the results (which I can' remember all the numbers right now - I will be calling the Drs. office and asking for a copy soon) I can remember that my cholesterol total is 290 (should be somewhere between 35-140. So yeah - it's high! very high!
This may just be the turning point for my life! What I need to get my body moving. It scared me enough to think twice when I want to snack on something bad - but yet it's only being a day! Only time will tell what way will I choose - better habits or meds for the rest of my life!
Talked to Dr. P who sent me so much good information to open my eyes about the sugar how that does a great part on the whole cholesterol deal.

Proud of myself
Trying to remember to make good choices - it's not even that the good choices are harder or don't taste as good - is that they are not so flashy and easy as bad fast choices.
I did have a burger today when we eat out for dinner - however it was a bean burger and instead of fries I ordered broccoli...
Even thou we were in downtown Cincy and heading to the "Party in the Park" for a concert I still got to walk a little... somewhere around a 30 minute walk after dinner! Better then non!
