whew! i felt great afterward, plus followed that up with counseling - even though that is harder than the workout, i felt good. and i swam in the pool w/ 4 kids for 3 hours. i'm a little toasty, but i'll sleep like a baby tonight!

eating...well less than par, but that is due to my lack of planning this week and the budget getting low until Sunday!

Water

This is for you Suzu...
I didn't think about posting how much water I drink. Only because I drink a ton of it. I gulp down a huge glass as soon as I get up, and never stop.
Hope that makes you feel better!

More later on my day today.

Cardio ***Updated***

I DID IT!!!!

Julie and I lifted weights this morning, then I forced myself over to the treadmills for a 20min brisk walk. Gotta start somewhere right? But at least I did it.

I forgot to wear my bracelet this morning, but will put it back on after I clean. I'd take a picture of it...if I had a camera. I know I use my camera alot, but definitely realize it now that someone decided to take it from me. ERG!

I'm gonna try journaling to you all what I eat and see if it helps:
Breakfast: eggs on ww toast w/ sprinkle of cheese, coffee, water
Lunch: peanut butter and honey, few chips, water, coffee
Snack: smoothie
Dinner: spaghetti bake
Snack: 2 girl scout cookies and a drink, yea so shoot me!

***Sigh***

Ruthie posted a comment for me..."wondering how you are."

I've been thinking for a week about what to post, about the 28 day challenge, etc. Well in the past 2 weeks here are things that have been going on:
1. counselor really wants me to start/continue grieving the loss of Selah. A week ago, told me journal my feelings about Selah, pregnancy, losing her, etc. Before I saw the counselor, I had at least made a list of 6 things that I knew were waiting for me to begin a process of working through. But actually doing it was going to require ALOT of emotional energy. But it is time I do it.
2. the very next night I had a complete breakdown over buying a swimsuit...see #1. I guess I'm starting the process, but did not expect it this way
3. got in a very minor accident, not hurt; but the lady took off when I was trying to get her information. However, I got her tags and called the cops.
4. the very next day after the hit and run...our house was robbed. Yes, as in burglary!

My emotions have shrunk back in faster than a turtle. Hubs and I have talked ALOT in the past few days, about all the above items. Needless to say, I'm working on finding a fitness journey that can encompass all that is going on. It is quite hard.

Do you remember the bracelet I wore last summer during all my weighloss? If I can dig thru my archives I'll find the picture. Anyway, today I bought a new one. I think that is my start right there...

More very very soon, I promise.

Challenge

Ok, it's on. I am going to take Ruthie up on it too.
I need a challenge to kick me in the pants.

However, I will not be starting until next week when I return from Pennsylvania.

Blogging has been a bit rough for me lately. I don't do the "Here's what I did today" very well; although, that's been about all I've done. I'd much rather be giving you a more meaty post several times a week. HOWEVER, in still being in the throws of losing precious Selah, this makes the "meat" more difficult. It is not that I don't want to share...it is too difficult/painful to post when I am trying to give you good stuff, but not all the stuff. I don't work that way.

All that to say...bear with me a few more weeks. I'll get there...

Keep reading...my before pictures coming soon. THAT will be a very heartfelt post, I promise.
