New Schedule

Going for a walk this evening.

I am transitioning into a new schedule, with my oldest son back in school. I have not stretched this morning and I need to strength train.

I lost a few pounds, but maybe that is water weight.

ADD and debating.

Walking tonight, spent the afternoon outside, when I was not debating ADD and ADHD.

Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in, and it makes people not like you. I believe that ADD and ADHD are over diagnosed, and there is not enough study on the drugs they use on children.

I have to stretch, I ate lentil soup with mushrooms this evening.

Keyboard Disaster

I went for a walk in the rain yesterday. I have been stretching, and eating.

There was huge storm front that came this way, central PA. I had stopped walking outside for a couple of days. My weight gain started again. I plan on going back to the doctors about that. Being fat and gaining while doing all this exercise is scary.

I was going to past all of this last night, but my two year old daughter wanted on my lap, she bumped my drink and it landed all over the keyboard. You have to love your toddler.

Motivation

Exercising daily, went for a long walk. I need to get something to count steps. I don't have that, and maybe a heart rate monitor.

I am not sure if that stuff will help me. I am still trying. We all have to keep moving forward, and walking.

I am still feeling discouraged. Maybe it is because I am seeing my body for the first time in three years of being pregnant. I want to exercise it back in place, but things are not moving back.

I have to find some inner motivation. I think I need to give up pizza too.

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.
