Move your body - update


Look how pretty this is turning out. I updated it Sunday night so there is now more color showing. The one day in June with stripes is because I had two workouts over 30 min that day. I talked about it in my last post of practice in morning then pool in afternoon. I have to color in some more black when I update it again. I did nothing Mon/Tue due to a tooth infection hitting me Sunday. My right cheek swelled and I couldn't tell if it was sinus or tooth at first. By Monday early morning (about 2 am) I realized it was a tooth infection. I took off Monday from Cross Country practice and just took it easy and did the same tomorrow. I plan on going out to practice Wednesday morning. 

I also added up my days of 30 minutes and I am only at 39.5 workouts. (The .5 is leftover from a auto recognized workout by Fitbit of 15 min+)  I'm supposed to have 156 workouts by December 31st to meet my Setting my intentions goal. Seeing as we are in June so halfway through the year I should be at 78 workouts so I am very, very behind. Can I catch up? I do not know but I am going to still keep trucking!

My weigh is not falling off but I am down about 8 lbs again. I just need to keep them down and have them take friends too.

Thursday 6/11

 Hello!

Currently I feel inspired to write therefore I am. I have been watching my food since the week before school got out. Not counting calories- Just trying to watch my portions and make better choices. That 5 lost above is for real and technically went up to -8.4 last Friday and now back down to -4.4  Bodies fluctuate too damn much!  I have not eaten that many calories to roll with that kind of weight. Oh well. I know I just need to keep rolling doing what I am and eventually my body will get the memo. 

I realized today that I need to start talking about my 80k try though so it doesn't fade into the black hole of my mind. Monday I did a 30 minute walk during practice and then that night little and I went to the Y and a swam for 45 minutes. Wednesday I did a 30 minute walk while the kids ran. Tomorrow I will be doing a 30 minute walk while the kids run. I had played with the idea of the Y today but then I just heard thunder and it is 90% chance of rain. LOL  Technically it should be done about 6:30 pm but I am not sure I want to even deal with it.

Week 1 of summer

 Hello!

Graduation went well. We had our grad party last Sunday and that went well. What did not go well is the ER visit afterwards.


A certain little gooberhead slammed the car door very hard. On her own hand! Thankfully, everything was fine and nothing broken. I am not looking forward to that bill though. All the of quick care places were closed due to it being 6:30 pm on Sunday night. 

Monday I went to PF with my coworker bestie and then we walked Walmart for meal prep. I bought some salmon and I went to cook it tonight (Sunday) and it was bad. The sell by was tomorrow so that was very disappointing! I had bought some smoked sausage on Friday so I was able to make that for myself and little one. Still going strong on the not cooking.  I think my oldest is feeling it because he keeps asking about food if he sees me cooking. I remind him that it is on him and he said that I said I would still cook sometimes. I did tell him that I said I would TELL THEM if I was. 

Little bit and I went out for sushi on Friday afternoon. Friday evening I went and rejoined the YMCA for the summer. Saturday was a long day for us as we met family traveling through town for lunch. Then we went to two different gradation parties and little one swam for hours. We didn't bring a suit for her but we just let her swim in her clothing. They have a inground pool and rented a 22 ft inflatable water slide. She was living her best life! Today we went to the YMCA for the pool for an hour.

Tomorrow Cross Country (XC) conditioning starts. We will meet 3 times a week for the kids to run to work on stamina and muscles. I will walk while they run most likely. That is what I did last year after I got named coach and recovered from my hysterectomy. 


I'm going to end here because I am not inspired to write. If I don't though this info will get lost and I will pop up again at the end of summer.  LOL
