Weight loss!

So, I am continuing to loose weight despite the fact that working out has become difficult because of the pleurisy. I was truly hoping to start up again tomorrow, but I don't really see that happening. I hate that my weight loss is being hindered by not being able to work out, but I am grateful for the fact that with me watching what I am eating, I am continuing to loose weight! I am down 9 lbs since I started this journey publicly. I really was hoping to be further along by now, but I'm just glad I have made it this far!

Attempt to Walk

So, I attempted to go for a walk with 2 of my good friends Friday Night. IT HURT SO BAD!!!!!!!! This Pleurisy is really hindering my workout efforts more than I originally thought it would. It's even hard for me to stand and cut hair all day sometimes if I am not keeping up with taking something for it. I don't know what to do, because I don't want all of my efforts to be wasted after months and months of work, and only 7 lbs to show for it right now. I don't want to be back at square one. I'm still trying to be dilligent about what foods I am eating, and limiting my calorie and fat intake, but I hope it's enough.

Pleurisy

Pleurisy is inflammation of the lining of the lungs and chest (the pleura) that leads to chest pain (usually sharp) when you take a breath or cough.

This has been going on for about 5 days for me. I went to the doctor yesterday to see what was going on. Sunday night was the worst of it. Basically all I can do is wait it out, so as soon as I can breathe normally, I will be back with my workout routine!

Well, I'm back in the loosing streak, I just hope this doesn't de-rail it!

I'm just letting you all know that I'm alive and working on getting healthy still. I have been crazy busy, but I'm getting better about prioritizing my healthy lifestyle!

Adventure on the AF trail

So, last night I went on a walk with my friend Patty. There is a new trail by my parents house that I had never been on. I knew it went across town, and past my old elementary school. So, Patty met me at my parents, and we decided we were going to walk the trail. It was a toughie! There were more hills than I thought there would be! It was a great walk, and we worked up a good sweat. We know now that at least once a week, we will be getting in a tougher workout!

Feeling Good!

Okay, so I have had a cold most of the week, so my working out hasn't been so good. I haven't gained, but I haven't lost like I want to. I got the best sleep last night that I have gotten in a long time, and I really feel good. I realize now how important getting good sleep is. I have heard it over and over again, but I still took it for granted. Getting the great sleep that I did helped me feel good enough to go on a short walk with my friends. I even felt good enough to cook happily! My husband was surprised and didn't argue as I cooked whole wheat pasta with lean ground hamburger with our excellent sauce and green beans for dinner. He is learning to like my healthier foods, but it's still rough on him. Tomorrow I will be going to Curves and then on a walk that evening. I'm excited to be getting into a routine again!

Sick Day

So much for getting back into my healthy routine today. I woke up to go to work this morning, and it was not a pretty picture. I won't give the details, but needless to say, going into work wasn't an option. After I called my amazingly understanding boss, I went back to bed, and that's where I spent most of the day. My sweet hubby didn't end up working today, so he was extra attentive to my needs, and I spent half the day sleeping, the other half watching movies on Netflix. I know, that's bad for getting healthy. Today my body was telling me I needed some Rest and Relaxation so that my body could heal, and I listened to it so it didn't get any worse.
I am feeling better now, so things should be good for tomorrow!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!

So, it's been a little while since I have blogged. I do have good news though. I have lost the pounds that i gained when I was being really lazy. My eating is a little better, but I need more work on that. I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off for about 2 weeks now. Looks like things are starting to settle more into a routine, so my regular workouts will be resuming starting Monday.
Just thought I should let you all know that I haven't given up, or haven't been slacking. I just haven't had 10 minutes to sit and blog! :)
Love you all and thank you for your continuing support! I need all the help I can get! :)
