Good Job!



Last night I worked out @ 7:00pm. While my kids were getting ready for bed. That is a new for me. Thanks to Corletta.

I did:
2.21 miles
342 calories
2.5 min @ 4mph/25 min @ 4.5mph/2.5min @ 4mph

Today at 5:30am I scraped the crust off my eyes and got on the treadmill again:
2.08 miles
325 calories
not really sure because I did the same as last night until 15 min. Then I went back to 4mph because I was dying.

Without an ipod! My new diversion is Jillian Michaels' book on metabolism. It's helped to divert the attention away from the timepiece. She talks a lot about whole foods, whole grains, organic, and such. I'm already on that kick, it's just I've been adding in too much sugar. We already it whole wheat bread, wheat pasta, Fiberific cereal etc. We should do better on veggies, and I have fruit around generally. If I could just get my butt to the grocery store. I don't have glass tupperware, and I have teflon pans (Scream, run, aaaah!) But I do actually have a budget.

All in all, I'm proud of myself. We've gone real estate-ing already today, plus had a therapist come. We are awaiting the final therapist, and maybe I will finally be able to get some grocery shopping in. I probly shouldn't jinx it because there is such a thing as naps, and my daughter is bringing home a playdate from school. Someday, my life won't FEEL so crazy. When this is more normal to me.

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
