Plans!

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions all life is an experience.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

I wanted to get another quick update in before I head off to bed.

I have to say I love watching History Chanel/ National Geographic/ Science/ General education shows while walking... It makes me feel as if I am working my mind and my body. Yesterday I ran 10k (6.2 miles), today I could only get in 5k before I decided it was too late to be on the treadmill for those still awake in the house. Tomorrow evening I will be starting Yoga at the community center, and hopefully Zumba. I will be checking out an art 'class' there as well in the morning. Monday I plan to start out Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.

Mum and I are going to get a few more things for working out... One of the things she is getting to help with her lymph fluid and back is an inversion table, which I am excited about because doing crunches on it would be awesome.

Mum is planning on visiting a nutritionist in August, and I think I will be as well.


Today marks a week of not smoking. I really want a cigarette.

I am proud of myself.

This is short, and a few hours late...

It is two in the morning here, and I have decided it is most definitely time to get back into a proper sleeping pattern. Eight hours of sleep, at night, except on special occasions... especially while I have the ability to.

Today I finished my sister Keely's hat, it is gorgeous on her. This makes two hats in less than a week. I will begin on another soon, as the one I have I don't like as much as I thought I did previously. I need to pick up some new wool for Kaity and my hats... I think mum wants one as well.

In the past three days I have walked 6 Kilometers which is 3.72 miles on varying inclines at varying speeds. I know it isn't heaps, as most people probably do twice that at the gym in a day... but I think little steps back into a healthy life is doing me good. The distances I am doing are slowly increasing.

The amount of calories has not been properly counted as I am to understand inclines, plus my weight, plus the speed all have effects.. and honestly I don't want to try to manually figure out the math. It's not worth it. Mostly I am happy I am becoming more healthy.

As of when I woke up for the day, I sent news to those I play an online game with called World of Warcraft, that I will be unable to play due to personal reasons for the forseeable future.... Honestly, though this probably sounds odd, it was a big weight off of my chest.

Tomorrow we will actually have the weigh in, apparently, as today we did not. If it gets 'bumped' again I will simply have my own weigh in and measurements done. Fingers crossed.

Goodnight.
