Yes it is me again. I know I know you are all very tired of hearing from me now, but deal with it. Ok so last Tuesday I began taking a multi-vitamin. I think I mentioned it in my last post. Well I woke up this morning and the only thing I could thing about was going to the Y. So I got Ashley fed and clothed and same for me and away we went.
We got to the Y at about 9:45 and I got her settled in the child watch and looked into one of the classes to see if I could see Stacy, (my aunt, who is 5 months older than me). WAY too many people in that class so I went to the locker room and put my stuff in a locker and went to the cardio room. I had predecided that I would just walk on the treadmill today and see how that went. I finally used my IPOD for the reason that I purchased it, so I was set. I found a machine in the corner where you could see every one walking in the hall but no one really pays attention so it was ok. The machine asked me if I wanted to go time or distance and I did distance. I wanted to do 3 miles. I figured that was a good start. So it layed out this little program to walk 3 miles in an hour. It was too slow for me at some points and I had to speed it up a few times but all and all it was a good workout for me. I got my blood going and sweat flowing but did not over do it so as of right now I will be going back tomorrow. I walk alot for work so the walking part is no big deal. And sometimes I have to run through the airport for one reason or another and so I am still fairly active but it is my off days that I needed the help. Stacy came by just about when I was finishing up. So SHE SAW me there. I wanted to make sure she saw me or she might not have believed that I had gone. I have been putting up a fight about it. Plus, it was around the time that I always tell her that we are just getting up. So good workout and off I go. I get to the child watch and Ashley bless her heart is just crying her little eyes out and she is just really upset catching her breath and all that. The were holding her and trying to comfort her but nothing was working. They said that she would get upset when the other babies got upset. The girl said it would get really loud and then that is when Ashley would start crying. I think it was just a new place and the noise. So tomorrow I am going to walk on the treadmill for 30 min and then attempt the elliptical machine for 30 min or what ever I can do.
We left the Y and went to McDonald's for lunch. She loves their french fries and I got a GRILLED chicken sandwich and scrapped the mayo off. Yes I ate the bread but come on, babysteps!!!
We got home and she went down for a nap. When she got up we made a Wal-Mart run and then got home around 4:30 I tried laying her down for a short nap but she wasn't having it. So I started making dinner around 5:30 and we ate at 6 and played for a while. She had a bath at 7:30. We have to wait for the 2nd episode of Friends to start on TBS so that she can dance to the "I'll be there for you" song. She is just too funny with that. Then she was down at 7:45. Then me time. The key to getting out of my funk is to stay busy. So if nothing else we can go to the Y in the morning and then the Mall or something like that in the afternoon. Just to get out and walk around. She gets bored in the apartment all the time too. She will grab her shoes go to the door and say "bye-bye". That is pretty sad. But hopefully we are on the tail end of it and things will be better. But with that said do not expect a post everyday. I just don't think I can do it.
Ok I am exausted now. Going to bed!!!
PS too long and I am too tired to proof read so I hope you can figure out what I am talking about!!
That's fantastic Lis! You'll see that going to the gym will give you more energy and totally boost your spirits.
