Neglected toes, blog, and body.

I can't believe it's December... and this year started out great, and after summer went downhill.  I'm at my highest weight in a long, long, LONG time.  I was almost in tears when I saw the number blinking up at me.  But it's there and it is what it is.  No one's fault but my own.

But today I start over.  I found my logbook.  I found my journal.  I found my stash of nail polish.  So after I make this post, I'm going to paint my toes so they are pretty again.  It's funny, a bit, that I've always been a person who liked pretty painted toes.  However, I haven't cared since September... and it shows.

 

So little by little, I'm getting myself back in line.  

 

Starting with my toes.

 

Here's hoping for an awesome end to 2012, and to a great beginning as 2013 approaches. 

 

 

Yearly physical...

I've been pretty neurotic the last couple years about getting a physical every year.  Especially since I was put on BP meds about 2 years ago.  I've had some other meds come into the picture and that's prevented me from trying for a baby--- and for the last year I was told no.  My husband and I also decided that I needed a break from 7 years of babymaking, year 8 was the break.  Today was the "what can we do now."

The answer was, from my new doc (my old one moved) was that my BP was under control, lets cut off one med, change another and I got the green light.

GREEN LIGHT.

For trying to make a baby.

I still have PCOS, duh, but my body have been functioning normally for a year now.  I'm healthier, less stress, and just feel better on whole about everything.

The husband and I are now trying to decide- do we start right away, do we think about it, do we try for a bit then go back on the clomid and more route.... so many "what to do now" options.

But who cares.
BP is under control.
My Aunt Flo has loved me and visited for a year.
My blood tests are all perfect.
I got a green light.

Life if good and the weight isn't swimming off, but obviously this is proof that there is more to health that your weight.

Anyone play Zombie Run?

Now, I don't have an ipod touch, but my son does.  He installed an app for me to try and I've played it a few times a week.  It's called Zombie Run, and it's actually quite fun.  Today though, I was caught by Zombies.  When I got home my dear, sweet, first born (who turns 14 on Wednesday) fell over in laughter that I was caught.

I just promised revenge and took my sweaty self to the shower. 

I found this app because of a friend on FB who posted that she had started enjoying it, because of another friend.  I'm curious what other "make exercise fun" apps there might be.

 (My birthday is in a couple months and an ipod touch is the only thing on my list now because of ZR!)

Blogger help?

I changed my stuff around and now I can't move my gadgets- how frustrating!!!!

I even tried 3 different computers, in 3 different buildings around town- and no luck.

Help?

Anyhow?

Bueller...

School starts, here we go!

Tomorrow I'll be at school.  My bag has a list next to of of things to remember to bring with me- to stock my fridge.  (Yes, I have room for a fridge this year- hip hooray for moving to a new classroom!!) 

It's also sitting by my scale, which being Monday, I stepped on.  259.0-- it's a LOSS!  It's a loss of 2.4 since I weighed in last.  GO ME!!!  I really wasn't excited to be back in the 260's, and I am glad to have inched myself out of them.

This last week I have been careful about eating.  I also made sure to drink.  A lot.  My allergies (darn fires!) did act up, and I switched meds, which have helped some.  But they also make me very foggy.  I didn't run from zombies much, just 3 times, but it's 3 times more than I've been exercising.  So again, a step in the right direction.

It's Monday, my last day of freedom.  I'm going to go run from Zombies and make sure my teen doesn't find a way to slip back to sleep! 

Zombie's won't catch me!

So a friend posted on facebook a couple weeks ago that she had uploaded an app to her ipod about zombies and running away from them.  Said it made it fun, and she's really enjoyed it.  I asked (bribed) my son if he'd upload the app on his for me to use (one day I'll get one.)

This morning, before I headed off for church, I tried it.

I need to make a play list- my son put 1 song on (I am ipod stupid, he'll show me though) and it was "big girls don't cry."  And it made me giggle.  At least while it played- then it stopped, so he needs to fix it for me!

Anyhow, I made it-- 1.7 miles, in 30 minutes.  Not sure if that is good or not.  Not sure I even care if it's not.  because I was out there and I did it.  I passed by 5 really fit dudes running.  All were coming towards me- and I know I must have looked pathetic gasping for breath and trying to run walk as pretty as possible. 

But I did it.  And tomorrow I'm going to do it again.
