Farm

I walked around a farm saturday. Apple picking was fun. I am up to a mile on the treadmill again, since I got sick I had stopped doing that. Three months until The disney half marathon. So training is going to pick up.

My goal was simple, get in shape after having three children in three years. I found out that for me personally it is complicated. But you have to keep on trying. Never give up, and move forward with any goal.

Walking/ Jogging a trail

Stretching, I am starting to loosen up, and the baby of the family is now seven months old. I am going out to a farm this weekend to pick apples. There are many around here so I am sure one will be the right fit for my family.

I also am going tonight to make the first round trip, around the base where I live. There is a six mile trail! It will be the first time I attempt six miles at a walk/jog pace. Most of the time I just walk and I have gone six miles before, not on this trail so close to home.

Been feeling good, stuffed mushrooms today for me, while my children get fish sticks. I would love to eat the fish stick! Anyway, off to stretch after I complete the other eight blogs I write.

Walking

I am going out tonight for a walk. I stretched today and did a bit of dancing.

My spirits are feeling good. I had tofu and noodles today for lunch. I love tofu. Other than normal domestic stuff the day has been very uneventful.

I am happy to be over that cold.

Still under the Weather

Got my tooth fixed today. I still am under the weather and did not want to go to the dentist. But you do what you have to do.

I have been wrapped up in the health care debate on Huffington Post, so I forgot to do my stretching. I did go out for a walk and then it started to rain.

I will stretch after this post. I also am dancing again around the house.

Healthy Habits

Walking last night, stretching this morning, I finished another chapter in the China Study, and have not eaten meat for a couple of days. Even baked tofu.

That is a scary book. The health care debate is going full swing. My training for a half marathon was me, trying to make a change. I needed to figure out a way to reverse my PCOS. I still am over weight, I still gained after having my fourth child. But now I am maintaining weight for the first time since his birth, I even lost one pound.

So tonight a long walk, with stretching. I am taking my kids with me, and trying to get them into good healthy habits.

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...

Walking

Went for a nice walk last night and I worked out on the total gym, still gaining weight not loosing. This is frustrating but I have to keep on trying.

Cross training tomorrow, I am dancing tonight.

Harrisburg Half marathon

Took a mile walk yesterday, no jogging.  On the first of July, I pre-register for the Harrisburg half marathon, which is on September 13.  My husband is going to participate with me in the walking division.

I already today did stretching.  I am frustrated, all this exercise and I have gained, not lost weight, and that on this large body sucks.

Three months to prepare.  I know Disney was supposed to be my first, but I want to do the one in PA first.  Sometimes changing your mind is a good thing.

Went for a stoll last night

The sunset was beautiful.  I enjoyed being out with my husband.

I need to call monday, the Harrisburg Half Marathon.  I need to find out if the walking devision would let strollers.  If they do, I am signing up.

That would mean September 13, would be my first half marathon.

Cleaning home

Today is the first day of spring cleaning.  I need to find some work out clothing, and dedicate those to working out.  It means changing my day clothing into my work out clothing but that should signal to my girls that mommy is working out. 

My girls are 14 months apart and demand a lot of time.  I love them dearly and that is why I made the goal to run the Disney Half marathon in 2010.  I am trying to train around them.  Today I will be strolling them around my neighborhood.  I don't normally do this... and frankly it is scary to change.  For them, I will.  I have gained a pound since I started working out so I feel a bit discouraged this morning.  

I wanted to loose weight.  Maybe more working out?
