Okay, I didn’t post my weight when I was supposed to.  I didn’t think the weight after having stomach flu was a fair thing to record.  Our whole family got it - miserable!!!  And now I’m finally recording last Friday’s weight.  As you can see, I have gained some weight, but I’m back on the wagon and will get back to recording my weight every Friday.

Life’s going to be crazy for a while, so it will be hard to keep up with the workouts.  We just put our house on the market and I need to keep up with the housework better than I have been!  Plus, we’re decluttering and putting some things in storage in anticipation of moving.  We’re hoping to be able to take out some money from the sale and buy some gym equipment so we can workout at home.  That will save us some money on gym membership and certainly some time not having to drive into town everyday.

Wish us luck!

It’s been over a month since I’ve posted a blog.  I think I was overtraining and needed a break - so I took one.  I have been working out really hard since April.  Then I took two weeks and worked out very lightly (but that’s more than a lot of people do!) and was just starting a medium workout schedule when I hurt myself.  I wasn’t doing anything stupid, I just have to be super careful because of old injuries from my numerous accidents.  So, I got to take another break.  I’m back doing cardio every other day and may be able to lift light weights next week probably. 

I can really tell I’ve lost strength, but that’s okay.  My body needed a break.  I’m ready to start up again. 

I have gained a couple of pounds, okay more like a few, well, maybe several.  But I’ll post my weight on Fridays again starting this Friday.  I don’t think I’ll be back down to what I was, but I gotta start somewhere!

I haven’t quit, because healthy eating and exercise are a lifestyle, not something I do for a while and then go back to old, bad habits. 

Check back on Friday for the weigh-in, that could be scary!!
