Since I got home from Disney, I have had a new outlook. If I could put all my energy and focus towards a goal like taking my kids to Disney, then I could also put those skills towards another goal.
Hence my new challenge. :D
I am applying my focus to getting healthy. I have been recording my food on http://www.sparkpeople.com/ and doing cardio Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and strength training on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
I don't know what was wrong Sunday...was just blah :( but yesterday I was off work (so had no excuse to walk to work) For the past two weeks I have been walking 6-7 kms 3 times a week. So I walked from my place to Citadel Hill, went up (without stopping - nearly died) - not really lol - and went around a couple times pumping my arms :) and then walked down the other side to Sackville street and walked down to the waterfront. I sat there (after strretching of course) :) and had my lunch that I packed. I then took a bus home.I mapped the route on www.mappingmyfitness.com and it was an 8.67 walk!!! :D I felt much better. I think I'm addicted to that feeling afterwards :) I guess there is worse things to be addicted to.
I had thought at first to take Sunday off - but now I think I will still get out and walk but I will coax my unsuspecting kids out with me on Sundays. I will take it easier and only walk 3 kms with them. ;)
talk later,

Confused and Wanting to Re-focus
I realize I have not blogged on here FOREVER. How many blog posts across the internet start out this way? An absolute ton from what I can see and imagine.
The past 12 months have included a lot of great successes for me. About 10 months ago, I had become a member of Weight Watchers and was having success and tremendous kinship with and about it with my dear friend, K. Then I ate healthy and was very active in the summer even though WW fell by the wayside. In the fall, I registered for a Booty Boot Fitness Camp and while it had moments when it seriously kicked my butt, I also had moments of tremendous pride thinking wow, this is getting easier. I joined a gym and had several sessions with a personal trainer and set some goals and went somewhat consistently to the gym from November to the end of January 2011. February arrived and I got to the gym a couple times before heading to Florida on the 10th. Three weeks of vacationing and indulging with a lot of walking in there too. This pretty much brings us to now. I have been home for a month and I had a bad chest infection for several weeks and a lot of dizziness and wooziness as well as some nausea. I have a doctor's appt for all that as well as Chiro for my back which is quite unhappy.
Meanwhile, my dear friend, K, is currently a walking fiend. She is doing PHENOMENALLY walking lengthy powerwalks, going to the gym and seeing a personal trainer. She is definitely inspirational. I want her energy, passion and enthusiasm to spill over onto me.
