It's me again

So I had my weekly weigh in last Thursday and I my weight and fat percentage are exactly the same. But the good news is that after being sick, I am finally getting back into the habit of getting up early to go walking. I am going to try to shoot for 6 am and walk until 7. It's getting hard to get going, because I open the front door to our townhome and it is very dismal outside- it is cold and dark and the majority of my lucky neighbors are still in bed. But I had my husband make me a playlist and that makes such a huge difference. I need to get new headphones though, I can't get mine to stay in my ears and it hurts my arms to keep them in my ear. I even jogged a couple of laps yesterday. I read that the more you are in shape, the easier it is to burn calories because you build up endurance and you can run longer. I really want to start doing 5Ks next year. We'll see- I am hoping- I have been such a non athlete my whole life.

Breast Cancer

I weighed myself today and lost 2 pounds. I feel like I am hovering around 190. I had been feeling sick so I got out of the habit of exercising. I was getting up early to go walking and I need to get back on that schedule. I was going to go today, but I got up with the baby last night and could not get back to sleep. I was watching a talk show yesterday with Melisa Etheridge. She said that she is now healthier than before being diagnosed with breast cancer. Having breast cancer forced her to be healthier.

Daily Toddler Wisdom

Just because it is called "toilet paper" does not necessarily mean it belongs in the toilet. (unless you are done using it of course!)

AAAUUUGGGG

I had another weigh in today. I gained 1 1/2 pound and some body fat. I have decided that I am going to have to start running if I want to lose the weight. Walking just isn't doing it for me. This week was terrible- talk about bad luck. Friday we went to a funeral of a close friend who killed himself and Tuesday Justin totalled his work van. We are just grateful that he was safe- and very lucky- he was on the freeway and a semi was involved. This week I have been having problems with waking up and feeling dizzy. So I have been having to get something to eat in the middle of the night- this is why I haven't been exercising. I am going to start up again though and hopefully next week will show some more progress. Maybe someday things will calm down. I guess nothing surprises me anymore.
