Sick

Over the past couple of days I have not been feeling well, my insides are on the outside. I don't feel flexible either. I had a baby six months ago and stuff is still not back in place. The sick feeling did not help training this weekend.

I went out for a short walk yesterday, and I want to go out tonight, not sure if I will, I haven't been able to be far from the toilet.

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.

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.

Tough times

Stretched today, that has made the hip feel better. I will go for an evening walk. Still trying to figure out finances for the January half marathon in Florida.

This economy has made it tough, I am canceling my YMCA monthly membership. I know everybody is having a hard time, but that still should not stop exercising around the home.

I will keep working toward my goal, thirteen miles is a reach able goal.

Reading

My books came in and I thumbed through my "The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen". I had a cucumber, tomato, black olive with vinegar and olive oil salad for lunch. Tasted good, it is a modified recipe.

I have not started to read "The China Study". I will probably, after I finish my blog posting.

For exercise today, I did stretching exercises. My hip started hurting this week. So stretching is what I need to do.

Walking tonight. And some dancing.

Waiting for my new Books

Watched my mail box today for my new books. They are supposed to get here from amazon.com soon. I want to read them, the China book and Mediterranean vegan cook book.

Exercise for today was walking, stretching and a bit of dancing.

Pain

I walked today. Stretched. My hips are sore. Not sure why but sitting here, I am feeling pain.

Motrin can be my friend.

My hopes are that I will get to sign up for a winter half marathon here in my area.
