Typhoon Lagoon

Had a quick trip to Florida over the weekend. I swam at the water park Typhoon Lagoon. I was lucky to have only water park ticket left over from a previous trip and Shades of Green had vacancy, so the entire trip cost me 600 for my family of five. I only go to Disney under 1000 dollars, so I have to find a fantastic discount during Marathon week end or I am not going.

I have the Harrisburg half marathon next month. I am walking it.

There has been a bit of stress in the family currently, my husband is going through some tests for his heart. That was why the impromptu trip to Florida at the last minute.

Walking tonight, I walked yesterday, no exercise happened Monday because I was stuck in the car driving back.

Weight Complaining

Moved around furniture today, now my treadmill reminds me as I enter my living room, to work out. i want to increase my mileage from one to three miles a day, to five or six.  I can't do that without the treadmill.  

I am going to do a timed run tonight.  Stretching first.  Since I have stalled my weight gain, I am hoping to reverse it.  I have been steady at 260.  When I gave birth five months ago I was 230.  That is 30 pounds weight gain in five months and I am breast feeding a baby.  NOT good.  I talked to my doctor about this and got again eat less, exercise more.  I have had tests done my thyroid is okay, so the doctor attests this to my PCOS.  I think it sucks, I look at food and put on weight, and I exercise every day.

Five months until the Disney half marathon, and two until the Harrisburg half marathon.  I feel like I am not making progress. But I must keep trying I have little ones I want to live for...

Fiber

I wasn't hungry today, first time in a long while.  I have been taking some fiber supplements because I read that adding more fiber can stop heartburn.  I eat tons of fruits and veggies but obviously not enough. So I started eating the supplements, the heart burn is still there, but I am taking less tums.  For me this is an improvement. 

I walked today all over the place, and while I am posting I am moving to the music.  

I am still in the learn process for this half marathon.  I have been reading a ton of stuff and am trying it.  I will report on if it works here.  I am averaging a mile of walking a day now.  That is a lot more than before, which was maybe a quarter of a mile or less.

Progress.

Raining again today so treadmill for me.  I danced a little and I have not been very hungry today.  Maybe that is a good thing.  Less than five months before the Disney Half marathon, I am starting to get nervous because I don't feel like I am making any progress.  

I need to cross train tonight.

New Schedule

With posting at night, I will be reporting on my activities that I did, not what I am going to do.  

Currently I am rocking out here at the computer, dancing while writing.  I will be going for my walk right after my posting.

Still preparing for the Disney Half marathon.  And I found out that I am going to do the Harrisburg half marathon on my own.

Exercise

Jogged from my door to the trash cans.  That was tough, but I did it.  A straight jog, no stop to walk.  It is not very far, less than half a foot ball field but it was a jog.  I also have been playing soccer with my girls.  

Exercise was hated by me, for a long time. It didn't have to be, the reason I hated it was because, I would work out and work out and never be the size two that I wanted to be.  I did not accept that I had a differing body type.  

Today, will be swimming, and/or walking.  Training for a half marathon is not easy.  I hope everyone has a great day. 

Stretching

Long walk this afternoon, and maybe Hershey's park this morning. Stretching is a must, I am sore, so I need to stretch my muscles out.

Maybe I will pop my Gaiam Pilates tape in today, start putting my stomach muscles back together, three babies in three years can really do a number on the stomach.

I hope I am ready to do the Disney Half marathon in 5 months.

Keep moving

Tried today.  I went to bed late.  

We walked only a mile yesterday, I did some jumping jax, and because of becoming distracted I did not make any phone calls.  I hope my distraction can become more focused. 

I am doing the Disney Half marathon by myself, my friend that was doing it with me can not do it this year.
