Off the wagon & stuck on the shoulder...

Like the Dodo bird in the Lion Kings sings "count me out!"  Not only did I fall off the wagon last week, yesterday I managed to walk into the mens restroom at Smiths, roll down a hill into another car, and the real topper-slip on water on the kitchen floor and severely sprain my ankle.  Had I not already broken it 10 years ago, I would have last night.  Luckily because the bone on my ankle was already un-attached, all I did was tear it out of it's scar tissue.  I get to wear a lovely lace up ankle brace for the next 3-6 weeks & totally rest it for 3-5 days.  There goes my long workout day on Saturday. UGH!

Remember the 200lb man?

Remember the 200lb man from last year. I had a goal to lose 30 pounds by the time Ja and Scott's 1st wedding anniversary came around. I lost about 13. I need a new goal to work towards to. Something like a half Marathon or a 10k. Anyone have any ideas?

Off The Wagon

I was doing so well with my training up until Friday, March 18th.  What happened on the 18th you ask? Well, that was the day that Keef was offered a job in SLC.  They asked him to start on the 28th.  Normally not a big deal, he normally does travel for work but in the past he's had a work truck.  This time around, he had a nice pair of boots.  He will get a service truck, but first he has to go through orientation etc.  In the meantime, we had 10 days to figure out transportation, make living arrangements, get everything he needs for work and decide if moving 400 miles is the right thing for our blended family. 

My goal this week is to get in 4 walks/runs & keep my sanity while trying to pack up the fam.  Somewhere in there I have to find an apartment & a job while still working full time at Allconnect.  Wish me luck!

Funny clip

Not really a Kimmel fan, But I thought this was funny!

Thighs of steel

Okay so that is one way to get thighs of steel.

The other is to sit in a car for five hours after strenuous exercise.

Today is the first day that I can really walk normal.

I also unfortunately fell off the no sweets band wagon.

I need to hitch a ride back on ASAP!

I've been thinkin.....

First off:

WAY TO GO DEE DEE!!! 

Congratulations on the marathon! What a spectacular achievement! I knew you could do it!

Next:
I am thinking about going off of my anxiety/depression medication. I've been on it since 2002, but I would like to try and control it "naturally." I guess if it didn't work then I could always go back on, right?

Later in the day......
Going to make the plunge. Just cut all my pills into 4ths (I was already only taking half because my Dr. was nice enough to prescribe 20mg pills so I could actually take 10 and make the prescription last longer). Things to remember:
1) Continue healthy eating
2) Get a fitness routine into place.
3) After pay day on Friday I will head over to GNC and get the natural supplements. (Omega's and what not).

Even Day post!

Not much to say. Other than I need some exercise motivation! I have plateaued with the healthy eating and need to up the exercise. Basically, I do nothing now, so doing something, ANYTHING would be an improvement. So help me out gals!
