Sister HIke

Today my sisters came out and we hiked the Fire Ecology Trail at Larry Creek. Great 2.5 mile hike. I carried my kiddo the whole way this time. 37 pounds of kid and pack. Felt great!

Dunno why, but now I have a migraine. Fucker!

Hike

Hiked the Larry Creek Fire Ecology Trail today. Carried 37 pound pack for 1.25 of the 2.5 mile hike. It felt hard to start out but great once we got warmed up. Felt good at the end.

Beautiful day for a hike!

Larry Creek Fire Ecology Trail

Larry Creek Fire Ecology Trail is a 2.5 mile trail with a 400 ft elevation change. Hiked it today with 37 pounds of pack and baby on my back for half the distance. It took us an hour and a half. It was beautiful outside. Trail was muddy/icey but the sky was blue and the sun was out. I was quite worn out by the end but I feel good.

I'm very proud of my weight loss and am more determined than ever to keep it up. My son deserves a healthy mama.

Barry Sucks!

Today's workout: Barry's Bootcamp Fat Blaster, Lower body and them abs. I did it. I stink. Gonna shower.

P.S. I came back to edit this post after I showered. I stood on the scale and found that I've lost 2 more pounds! I'm down to 212. This, even though I have not worked out in over a week. I've been paying attention to what I eat and really trying to be more active in general.

Derailment

Yup. The title pretty much sums it up. Migraine most of last week. Used that as an excuse to not exercise. Dumb ass.

And my food? Well, let's put it this way. Today I ate fried potatoes, half a pan of brownies, ice cream with tons of toppings, and ramen noodles. Stellar!

Monday

Today I walked and did Barry's Bootcamp Fat Blaster upper body workout and abs workout. I'm tired and crabby.

Finally, Sleep.

I figure that this fits in this blog. Sleep has to do with health.

I woke up this morning with a migraine. I haven't had a bad migraine for over a month. I powered through the first part of my day. Got through the breakfast routine. Did some laundry. Cleaned Luken's room. Took Lortab after Luken went down for his nap. Then I went to sleep. And I slept hard. I woke up a coupla hours later to pee and went back to sleep. I tried to get up around 4. I was simply too tired to stay awake. So I went back to bed. I woke up at 9 and felt better than I've felt in weeks. My head still hurts but my body does not. I feel rested. I feel relaxed. I feel calm. I don't feel ragged or on edge. It's an amazing feeling, this absence of pain. I think I like it.

The Sun Shone!

I did not work out today. Instead, I took my baby for a walk in the sun. He walked so I can't count it as exercise. More like a puddle jumping ramble. The sun felt so, so good!

Woot!

Today I did my lower body AND my abs! I'm proud that I did it even though I am tired and still have lots to do today.

Sometimes ya just gotta take the time and make the effort.

Dumbass

I KNOW that I have fibromyalgia. Why, oh, why do I fail to remember this fact when I think that I can go all out on a workout? Ugh, ugh, ugh! I can barely move today. Honest to shit, it hurts to breathe. Idiot!

Day 2

Today I did Barry's Bootcamp Fat Blaster, upper body. Fecky, it was hard! Now shower.

Getting back in the game

Heya,

My baby is better and now I have no excuse whatsoever not to work out. So I started working out! Yay!

I did the lower body workout on some "bootcamp" dvd's I bought awhile ago. It kicked my ass! I'm proud that I kept going though. I didn't quit.

Tomorrow I'll do the upper body workout.

Brownies

I'm not sure how fresh baked brownies fit in to my quest to lose weight. But today, they do.

'Nuff said.

Stalled Out

My baby got sick Sunday and my life, along with any effort to lose weight, came to a screeching halt.

I stood on the scale today and was happy to see that while I haven't lost weight, I haven't gained any either. Steady at 214.
