Long walk, treadmill, and travel plan

-
Well.. I got up this morning and after eating breakfast took the puppy for a long walk. She is the funniest thing.. she HATES leaving the house.. and pulls back against me refusing to come with me.. She does this for the first 5 min or so.. when she finally figures out that I am in charge and that she is not going to win she walks great.. but when we turn home.. boy.. she wants to get out in the lead.. which is a no no.. Anyway.. I love the fact that she is a home body and I think as she gets older she will enjoy walking. BUT.. I feel so bad cause when I got home she was licking her paws.... ends up she has four little soars on her her four little paws... :( from resisting the walk.. ..
On the great side of things she has tons of energy and loves to run.. so I think she is going to a great encouragement for me to get my runs in .. and may even motivate me to run more.. :)

Well.. I mentioned on joshas comment that we just got a treadmill given to us. DH has been wanting another treadmill for a long time.. so we could do cardio together. .. I have always said "no" .. we dont need that.. Well.. its funny how many times we have said "oh it would be nice to have this or that" and a few months later.. we get it free or really really cheap. (more on that later).. Anyway.. its a fold up treadmill and I suggested that we move it into our bedroom for the winter.. but now I think DH is wanting to keep it in the garage so we can workout together....

We leave in the AM after church to head south. I plan on taking Sun, Mon and Tues off. I will be taking puppy on short walks as her paws allow and of course I have my pushup contest with my nephew (spose to do 50 .. dont think its gona happen but I will do as many as I can)... but other than that.. nothin else.

I will have internet access while I am there.. so I will prob post a bit or at least check my email

gotta go pack.
more later

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 ...

Beautiful Monday and Weekend food hangover

-
it was a beautiful morning at the track.. temp in the 50s and no wind! I walked a mile with a friend, then walked jogged 1.5 for total of 2.5 miles this morning.. We came home and I did some burpies with the boys then planks, leg lifts, sit ups, and leg side raises. Those burpies are hard.. I am so sloooooow at them.. but i managed 5. This weekend was free for eating.. I gave that meat a try and its interesting how my tummy reacted..I also had a few cokes.. Isnt it funny how when you dont drink them for a while and then start drinking them again they dont taste near as good as you remember :) anyway.. I am back to veggin it today and looking forward to some green smoothies as soon as i go buy some more spinach :) I am so happy to be seeing muscle showing up in my legs again and really hope this means burning off the fat is not far behind :) I am off to make some breakfast.. decisions decisions.. whole wheat or oatmeal? hummmm

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...
