Tryin to make it back

-
Good morning..
I think i might actually win this battle of virus vs body... so thats good.. I just read janelle's blog and see she is in her 14s!!! I am so excited for you Janelle! ..
i am going to copy her post format today .. and get some things down on here so maybe i can feel like i have some things accomplished today. (nothing like laying on the couch or a week to make you feel like a slacker.)

Promises to myself:

no sugar today
no crackers or bread (had while i was sick)
drink a gallon of water (good for you even if you are not well)
eat back on track (no more skipping meals)

Reminders to Myself:

I have been sick.. need to take things slow
Its just a week I have missed.. a week is only 6 workouts... 6 workouts out of the year is nothing.. i will still make progress.
I WILL feel normal someday.

Gym Report:
only a short walk with the kids around the neighborhood after it warms up.. fresh air should make me feel better ..

Meals:
1. cheerios, lowfat milk, oj (need to go to the store for less carb laden breakfast :)

Thanks, Ruthie! I am excited, too. I am so glad you are starting to feel a bit better. Good reminders to yourself. If/when I get sick remind me to remind myself. I know how missing workouts, even for VALID reasons, can mess with your mind. Way to keep on the positive!! Have a good day.

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

URGH... its taken me FOREVER to get a video up .... I had to keep making it shorter and shorter.. .. it only seems right that a marathon video should be a marathon length dont ya think? .... I finally got it to work :) yipee.. (see below) If it doesnt play when you click the arrow... click on the upside down arrow :) I added this second video... its the same but a bit bigger.. or you can go to vimeo and watching it even larger if you want :) Untitled from ruthie swed on Vimeo . If that wasnt enough for you... heres some text scoop :) first of all friday didnt turn out like I expected. I didn't get all my meals in and I got to bed later than i wanted-needed too. Saturday morning I woke up very tired. I considered just skipping it and running the Marathon another day. I tried to go back to sleep but just couldnt. I got up and left the house by about 610am. I knew this would come back to haunt me.. an hour in west texas makes a big difference when you are talking about morning heat-...

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...
