Well, tomorrow starts my new focus! I am recovered from my sinus infection, and ready to get going.
I did ride the recumbent bike this morning for 45 minutes, while watching an episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey that I had on my DVR.
And, on Saturday I rode Joe bareback, so I definitely am feeling those muscles today because normally I am in my saddle.
It felt good to exercise and sweat :)
I am going to do a bit of a boot camp this week, as far as exercise goes. I want to do some hiking even.
I am going to do a bit of a detox this week regarding my eating. I am going to do my best to not eat ANYTHING processed, and I am going to record everything I do eat.
So, you will see a little something different this next week. I am going to blog my exercise and food journal each day!
I am going to weigh in tomorrow, so I know where I am at as far aas that goes :)
I decided to drop Weight Watchers. I wasn't going to the meetings or using the website anymore, so it seems like a waste of money, and I am going to go at it my way. I know what I need to do...track! And, I am all over it!

Not so on the mend, I suppose
I am sick! Grrr. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I want to go play and enjoy the sunshine. I want to ride my horse. I want to exercise. I want to do yard work. I want, I want, I want...OK, I want to go to bed and sleep for a week, and when I wake back up not be sick anymore!!
I had a few days of feeling like I might be perking up, and then BAM! Back to the yucky sicky icky. SIGH.
I think I should go to the doctor, as my glands are swollen (have been for over a week), my sinus is plugged (going on almost two weeks), I have a fever off and on, and now my ear is sore.
I am happy that I don't get sick often because I couldn't handle it!
To top it all off, I am pretty sure I also have some allergies going on, too.
I want to be back to my normal self RIGHT now! And, I have a handful of new babies in my life right now, and I can't hold them or even visit them yet!!! It's killing me!!!!

On the mend!
It's been a whirlwind, for sure, but I think I am ALMOST back to some semblance of a normal life, whatever that might be.
Last weekend was a good one, overall, but it was busy as usual (as is the one coming up).
Jordan had a baseball game in Moses Lake on Saturday, so that took up most of the day, and I returned home with a lovely sunburn!
Then Sunday we went for a horse ride, which was very relaxing (but not soothing on that sunburn on the back of my legs, especially when we headed down the hills!).
So, I know I melted some calories away while riding, and I am very much looking forward to riding regularly when summer comes along!
We did attend a BBQ at the Koski house that evening, and BOY we just love that family!!! The food was great, and I did not overeat.
Monday rolled around, and we headed out on the motorcycle for a beautiful ride!
But, starting Sunday evening, I started feeling quite conjested! By Monday afternoon it was far worse, and Monday night I was a mess!
I don't know if it's a cold or if it's allergies, but whatever it is, I don't like it one bit!
I am guessing it might be a combination of a cold and allergies (since I did have a fever), and today I am feeling much better!
I did finally go for a walk yesterday at lunch, which was the first bit of exercise I have done in too long!
I did get all coughy and felt like I might lose a lung, but the fresh air felt good :)
I have not been drinking enough lately, so I need to focus on that!! My eating has been OK, and I am looking forward to starting up the bike in the morning again.
The really great news is that even though life has been a bit nutso, I only gained one pound in the past three weeks!! I am OK with that, especially since I feel like I am reeled back in now.
And, I weigh less right now than I weighed last summer! I can really tell the difference, as I have been wearing shorts and capris that last year fit snugly, and this year are loose.
I also hope to return to my normal blogging! So, stay tuned :)

Kinda surprised!
I weighed in today after school. I have weighed on this scale before when I am working out, and I only weighed one pound more than the lowest I have been on it!
And, I was not wearing my normal workout clothes, but rather my work clothes, including jeans :)
So, maybe these past two weeks haven't been as bad as I thought. I will have to find out this upcoming Wednesday at WWers!

Not good news...
Life has been beyond crazy hectic. I haven't exercised now for nine days! Well, not my normal exercise program. I did walk at Relay for Life, so that counts for SOMETHING in the past week.
I am going to go for a walk today after school, and I plan on starting everything back up to my normal routine tomorrow.
We have been out of town a lot lately. I was thinking about it, and in the past week and a half, I have been to Wenatchee three times, Seattle once, and Spokane, too.
In the past two weeks, I have had three birthdays (two of our kids, and Ricky), Mother's Day, Prom, and an auction.
Then, of course, the planning and participating in Relay for Life (I was captain of four teams.), which included some extra incentive, in that I ran a special fundraiser in honor of Jose Rodriguez, one of our students, who passed away on May 11th from his battle with cancer.
We had his funeral this week, and I haven't felt that heartbroken.
We have had lots of baseball games in Wenatchee, and lots of running around.
With the loss of sleep for the past week and a half, I have not been able to get up early out of bed!!! But, I plan on doing that tomorrow :)
It will feel good to be on a normal routine once again.
I haven't been to WWers for two weeks now, so I don't know what I weigh, but I have a hunch I have gained, as my clothes don't feel the same. Amazing HOW fast that happens...if only it was as fast coming off! LOL
So, to sum it up, we have had some intense JOY and SADNESS; that's life, right?
I am glad that we are leveling out for a bit. Stay tuned.

Too much going on...
Life has been incredibly busy! OH MY GOODNESS!
So, I did not go to WWers this week, and I KNOW I have gained, even though I don't want to know how much, but I can tell!
I have lots of exercise coming up this weekend, so I am glad for that, and I need to get back on track in the eating department, ASAP!
I will try to get you all caught up, maybe by this Sunday!
