Day 4 (take 2) - #GiveIt100

Since day 4 didn't have any exercise, I re-did it. I'm going to be keeping track of both the exercise days and the full 100 days. So day 4 redo was actually day 5. I'm going to notate it like this: 4(5). My hope is that this will be the only day that I don't stay on track, but if I should fall by the wayside, I'll just get back up and keep moving.

So what did I do for Day 4 take two? I did my first weigh-in via wii fit. I'm going to use it as my weight loss tracker for the challenge, mainly because it says I'm 10ish pounds lighter than my bathroom scale does. The result? Just shy of 251 pounds. Bathroom scale said 259.8 several days ago. I should have gotten on the other scale after I did this weigh in to get a firm answer on how off the results are.

Anyways, for my work out I did 30 minutes of strecthing, boxing and karate using the ExerBeat game. I forgot how fun it was, so I'm looking forward to getting back into a fun exercise routine. Eventually I want to make it up to an hour of working out, and I don't think that'll be too hard now that I'm finally motivated and willing to get moving again.



(On another note, this is my 250th blog post. I think I'll celebrate with more exercise!)

What's Your Song? Thursday IS BACK!

I realized that I'm in desperate need of some tunage. I'm trying a 3-day juice fast, and I want it to go well, so I need to be in a good mood - esp. since I hate most of the veggies in the juice but I know they are good for me. I have some good news - I have lost enough weight to take the 'W's off the end of my pant size, and I had to buy new, SMALLER undies. YAY! The hubby is very excited about the pair decorated with sledding penguins lol. Here's my song - Dirty Laundry by Bitter:Sweet. Love this song!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go dance with my dog and ignore all the dirty laundry that really needs to meet the washing machine :) Join us on this great link-up from Amber at Goodnight Moon !

The Doctor... Doctor Who? A.K.A. Damn you, Netflix :)

Oh, the hardships of having no cable TV... We decided that we were paying way too much money for cable, when there were only a handful of channels we watched. Of course we couldn't get the basic cable, because it was missing half of the channels we wanted. So I cut it off completely. And I'm so glad I did. We upgraded our internet service, bought a year of Xbox Gold membership, and subscribed to Hulu Plus and Netflix. Although we have decided to cancel our Hulu subscription, we love Netflix. Hulu is great for current shows, but Netflix is awesome because we can watch an entire series. When it first came out, I LOVED Alias. It was a spy show starring Jennifer Garner. My mom and I used to watch it every week. But Hubs had never heard of it! Seriously, he lived under a mountain. At least when it came to TV. So we watched all 5 seasons of Alias. We decided that instead of watching various shows all at once, we would choose a series and watch it all before switching to a new show....

Recovery starts somewhere

The last few days have been an uphill/downhill roller coaster battle with myself. I know that it has something to do with my medications - Doc bumped one of my anti-depressants up and it made me angry and violent again, so I dropped back down. Now that I ran out of the lower dosage, I have to call doc and get him to adjust the Rx so I can get more. It's been really frustrating to realize medications are not going to completely fix my problems. As long as I continue to depress myself about our current childless situation, my meds will not fix me. I have to learn to fix myself. I have to learn that I am awesome without being a mom. I need to learn that I don't know what the future will hold, and things could change a million times between now and then. I need to learn the concept of 'happy' again. Someone in my support group said "You don't need children to be happy, that is just an illusion caused by society". I know that she was just trying to help me fee...
