Day 345 (day 2 / week 49)

Another shopping day. Almost done (1 person left). I can't believe how fast this year flew by. Crazy fast.

Have I mentioned that I hate shopping? I really do. The only plus is all of the unconscious exercise (walking, lifting, pushing). Definitely better than sitting on the couch, although after a long day it's nice. Even during a lazy day it's nice. Oh who am I kidding. I heart my couch. Dare I confess that it's because it gives my hubby static electricity and he shocks himself every.single.time he gets up lolol. Even the monkey boy notices, because it's one of the make believe games he plays. He pretends to shock himself when he gets up to go in the kitchen lolol.

Anyway I walked exactly 2.5 miles (5292 steps) and then went Christmas shopping w/ the hubby and monkey boy. It amazes me how much he is understanding. He sees toys in our cart and I tell him they are for his friends and cousins, and he understands. HE UNDERSTANDS. That just blows my mind.

Still no 30 day shred. I remember to do it like right before bed. I feel like I might be boycotting it in some way (I feel a tantrum coming on...I don't wanna do it! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! no. No. NO! I just don't want to do it!), but am SO proud of Erin for doing it. She's almost done! Like practically done pretty much. Today is day 27 if I am counting correctly. I really can't believe how fast the time flew by. You go girl! Go give that girl a high five. She's awesome for sticking to it and getting her entire family envolved. (sorry Erin! I will still finish my 30 days if it kills me though. It might take me a few months but I'll do them!)

Work in the am. *sigh*

I can do this. I am a star.

Day 344 (day 1 / week 49)

Friday, December 11, 2009

Friday I did some last minute Christmas shopping, and some walking w/ the Monkey Boy. I walked a little over 2 miles in 40 minutes. Not much, but better than nothing.

It feels like I am just going through the motions to get it done (exercise), then looking forward to doing it. I wonder if it's because the end of the year is coming up fast? Maybe boredom? (probably) *shrugs.* It's kind of funny how Jan 1 always feels like a clean slate, although all it is is another tomorrow, today and yesterday. No big deal. Just another number, right?

Day 340 (day 4 / week 48)

Today was another workday, but I called in sick again. I feel worse today than I did yesterday. I forced myself to go to the grocery store and pick up some basics and a few Christmas presents (Blu-rays at Walmart), and I forced myself to do something on the Wii Fit--get up and exercise.

There is a whole strength training section on the Wii Fit so I focused on that today, as well balance (my balance is WAY off) and yoga for relaxation. I did 42 Wii Minutes total and walked 3474 steps at the grocery store (1.64 miles). It poured today. I love the rain when I'm not sick lol.

I feel super crappy but am going to attempt to go to work tomorrow. I hope it doesn't bite me in the butt. I have stuff to help w/ my symptoms so hopefully I won't feel this way tomorrow. At least I'm off the next day so I can focus on getting better again w/out having to worry about work. The monkey boy is feeling better so that makes me feel hopeful too (his didn't last long so mine might not either :)).

Have a great night!
