April - RUN GHOULIES RUN!!! (Page 6)

Sing louder.

No one has ever ever ever said that after actually hearing me sing.

My daughter has piano lessons today. As soon as I get home I'll pick her up and we'll go to lessons. My husband is taking my son to soccer tonight, so I won't have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off. My daughter and I will actually be able to eat dinner and get her homework done.

Do you have anything good going on tonight?

I have no plans. Just get a run in, cook dinner, do some laundry, feed and play with the beasts and have a glass of wine and watch tv with the DH.

Nice! girl time!

Yes, we will enjoy our girl time.

Sounds like a good night to me.

Low stress for sure! As long as the power stays on. I charged up my Nook, just in case

Well... if the lights go out you could still have the glass of wine and enjoy spending time with your husband.

I'm going to call it a day.

Later Ghoulies!!!

have fun!

Well done my bike and swim...2:40 for the day...I'm tired...haha

Learning about Illness, Dying and Death: Religious Variances...

Yup...

When I transitioned from walking to jogging, I was told to start off jogging slower than I walked in order to build up my breathing.  After my endurance was up, then I could begin to up my speed.  You are on your way.  Don't forget that.

SWEET!!!

I had lunch today with some friends.  Nice company and YUMMY food.  Very tender chicken with ham and swiss cheese on a sandwich with sweet potato fries.  Tonight we are having left over chicken & veggie soup, it's pretty yummy too.

Can you tell that I am hungry?

Good morning Ghoulies!

My pups ate my dinner last night. After piano lessons my daughter and I ran to the store to get something for dinner. We got a couple of pieces of chicken and some things to go with it. When we got home I put our chicken on our plates and my daughter put them on the table. I was slicing an apple for her, and when I started walking over to the table I saw that my dogs each had a piece of my chicken on the floor. I was ticked off! I tossed their little doggie azzes out the door! I was really hungry, too.

Ghoulies it's confession time

My DNF and the heart problems I had back in the fall really rattled me. I've put on a bunch of weight. I'm beating myself up for putting on the weight. I can't get back in a rhythm with working out. I'm beating myself up because I'm not working out. I just can't get my head in the game again.

I want to lose weight. I want to work out. I just can't make myself do it.

Ann, First order of business: {{{{{HUGS}}}}}Second, hold your hand out so I can slap it. (Slap). NO MORE BEATING YOURSELF UP.

This is changeable! I am in the same boat. Little steps! Don't try to do it all at one time. Do you want to run? Do you want to bike? Swim? strenght train? yoga? Pick one a week and set an easy goal and do it. Even if it is an easy goal, if you set it, try for it and do it, you have made a mental note that says "Yep, I can do this".

Let's do it together! I have a loooonnngg way to to go, but I have no choice but to do it. A lot of the days I figure I am a fraud, it is too difficult and I need to just throw in the towel. Then I say, no way and keep at the Hippo-b-gone program.

Thanks Robin.

I DO want to run. I DO want to bike. I DO want to swim. I DO want to strength train. I DO want to do yoga. I felt better when I was doing. I miss doing it. I think about doing it all the time. I just can't get myself moving. The only thing I can't do right now is swim because of the never clearing ear infection, but I have absolutely no excuse for not doing anything else.

I am taking the kids to their Wednesday night thing in town tonight. I'm planning on going to the college and working out until time to go get them.

Okay, then this week is strength training and the goal is ONE time. Set a goal for the weekend. Easy to meet and then meet it.

You did not have an easy time. It wasn't like you just thought to yourself "F.... it, it think I'll quit the MCM and fall into a Marines arms so I can eat bon bons for a while" or how about "Gee, I feel like playing a game of heart-roulette and spend lots of angst and $$ on tests to have no answers just for the fun of it".

No dear, you have had a big ole set back. Just cause you can't see the scar doesn't mean there was an injury!

It is spring-time, You will be in fine shape for your scheduled races later this year. Just take them little steps!

Well... falling into a Marines arms would be better if you have your wits about you.

Thanks Robin.
