OK!

I have this persistent tickle in my throat that I have concluded must be due to the "ash cloud" from Iceland. It has kept me tired and fatigued. That, and the fact that I have had a steady trickle of children and other visitors flowing in and out of my house for the past two weeks. Some leave and the next ones come in. My house is sooo trashed. Laundry is overflowing. Same complaints as always but magnified because of how I feel physically and also because there really IS more dirt and laundry to do with all the extra people! haha. And less time to do it because I'm "entertaining". Despite my whining right now, I really have had a lot of fun the last two weeks!

I decided yesterday that even if I can't make it to the gym because of my schedule and feeling fatigued, I can still watch my eating better. Yesterday was good! Yesterday I weighed in at 208.5. I felt really fat all day, but I tried to be careful about what I ate and I logged everything. This morning I felt thinner and I weighed myself. 207!!! There we go! Now the scale is tipping the right direction. I know it's silly, but I really need to see some sort of result in order to stay motivated!!!

Anyway, there's a little update on me. Now I need to check on my 3 kids + 1 extra to make sure they are not reconstructing the living room...

Ug...

I haven't done very well this week. Still trying, but not so good. I'm not feeling the best, so I haven't felt motivated to get to the gym much. I will try to go to Zumba in the morning if that works out. I haven't even weighed myself this week, because I'm scared! LOL

Still here

Well, I've had a few good days with eating, and a few not so good days... But the good thing is that I've been back to the gym and running again! :)

The bad thing is that my right arch is hurting me. :( I talked to my yoga instructor today, and she thinks it may be plantar fasciitis. It hurts and sort of spasms when I stretch it and put pressure on it for an extended time. I have also noticed for several months now that my heel aches in the morning, or after a period that I haven't used it. I need to see a doctor about it to get it formally diagnosed, but that is totally what it sounds like. :( And that is chronic. Ug. That bites. But I'll figure out how to work with it.

Zumba tomorrow again! :)

Ooof.

Boy, this weekend was rough. I had a GREAT Monday through Friday with my workouts AND my eating. Things were just falling in place and I was getting in my burn PLUS more every day. And then Easter hit. And chocolate and cake and barbeques with friends. I really overate the past two days. :( But tomorrow is another Monday, and I'll get back into the swing of it. The kids go back to school on Tuesday so I'll get back into my nice new routine.
