Hi! :)
It's been a while...
I've been extremely busy between hospital trips with my sis having a really bad kidney stone, finding Zoey(one of our furbabies) who went missing for two weeks, & everything else in between.
I feel sooo bad for my sis. If you don't mind, please say a little prayer for her. She has been in so much pain for about a week and half now. We made two trips to the emergency room, a trip to a specialist, two trips to the hospital for blood work and surgery, and she is still in pain. When they went in for her surgery, the stone had already passed, but her tube was so stressed and clenched, they had to put a stint (sp?) in to open it up and give it some relief. It has been so hard to see her in that kind of pain. :(
Zoey being MIA was also very hard..I didn't realize how much I love her until the past 2 weeks when I couldn't hold her or kiss her little face. My cousin is a freshmen at a college nearby and was talking to me about wanting a dog, so I came up with a brilliant terrible idea to let him have a "test run" of taking care of a dog while being in school and working. I thought it was a good idea..he would be able to see how he could handle it and she would be back home within a few days...WELL while my cousin was at work one night (the day after he got her from us) his roommate opened the door to let someone in and Zoey took off and hid...I don't know how hard he looked for her or whatever, all I know is she was missing for two weeks. We had her posted on every animal shelter within a 100 miles radius and all the vets were aware she was missing and were watching for her to be brought in. We finally got a call yesterday saying she had been found and was 2 hours away at the girl's moms...so we took off and picked our baby up. We are extremely happy/relieved/blessed to have her back home. I am so thankful for everyone that helped us in the search for her.
What else have I been doing? Well...
I finally caved and bought some of the Vibram 5 finger shoes. Love them...BUT I made the mistake of running 5 miles in them the day I got them..lol the first 2 miles or so were fabulous, then my feet and legs started killing me. When I got home and read into it (should've done this to begin with) I learned you are supposed to start out slow and let your feet and legs adjust to them because they work out places that don't get worked out when wearing regular running shoes. oops. So now I know and will be taking it a little slower...here are the ones I got.
As for my "healthy eating"? I feel like I'm about half and half. I have been making some good choices and some bad ones too. This weekend we have been on the go non stop so we have ate out a good bit, but all last week we had meals at home. I am IN LOVE with the protein shake I've been making. All I do is put 8 ounces of fat free milk, 1 rounded scoop of chocolate protein powder, and a spoon full of peanut butter into a blender cup (the ones with the little metal ball thing) and shake it really well..there are still little chunks of peanut butter and it is SOOO yummy. One day last week I paired it with a salad topped with some buffalo chicken and a tiny bit of ranch.
I bought insanity. the workout program. I'm gonna start in the morning and do the fit test. I have never completed a workout program. I'm determined to finish all 60 days. I have the workout calender hung up on my cork board and I'm gonna be hangin up my before pic along with my motivational pics and my measurements and everything so I can keep up with my progress. I'm still going to be running. I'm slowly starting to like running again. Along with the fit test I'm gonna be running 2 miles. I feel so much better just from the little changes I've made since we've moved home.
I hope you all have a really good week!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow..even though its Monday, cuz that means episode 2 of Terra Nova and the new season of House! :D
