Happy Friday!

Friday, May 11, 2012

So today is my . Since I did not reach my goals in the first year, this is my new beginning and I WILL reach my goals this year!

I started PT today on my knee. It is what we thought. My quads aren't supporting my knee cap, my inner quad especially so my knee cap falls off to the side. The pain is from the bones rubbing together. No deep squats, no crossing my legs, no sitting indian style, no sitting on my leg. She did tape my knee to see if that may help. She has four different ways to tape my knee we are trying one. The real test will be tomorrow in Zumba. She showed me a couple exercises to do at home with my step and we did some balance board exercises today. Will be doing more workout next week that will help strengthen my quads and core (since this is part of the issue too, a weak core causes weak quads). So this is more incentive for me to really get on my ST, yoga and pilates!

Weigh in good & taking the day off

Wednesday, May 09, 2012

Scale was down today for once---Lost 1lb. Needed to lose 5 to reach my goal but didn't reach my Spring 5% Challenge goal. There is always the BLC 19 Challenge and the Summer 5% Challenge though!

Bubbie did good at the dentist. Didn't like being numb though and ended up biting the inside of his cheek a lil so he said that hurt. I guess he cried a lil back there but was fine when I got to come back there. He got to pick a prize.

Was going to do my 30 day shred but just way to tired today. Decided to take the day off. Just layed around all day, took a nap before I picked up Evie from school. Kitchen is a mess but it will wait until tomorrow. TV dinners and Totinos Pizza for dinner. Watched the results show for DWTS after my nap. Tonight need to watch both episodes of the Voice from this week. Didn't realize I was that behind.

Oh but I did do something today that I haven't done in YEARS! Read a book (other than a textbook or a book to the kids) at the dentist. I bought all the Twilight novels a year ago and started the first one today. I always loved to read. It was so nice. I have the Twilight movies (they're silly but I love em).

Well off to curl up with my pizza, salad and remote for the rest of the evening. Have a good night!

Last few days

Tuesday, May 08, 2012

Hello, I keep forgetting to blog lately...Sooo Busy!

Sat-Cleaned all day long with no interruptions. Nice to be able to be so productive. Still have tons left to do. Little each day. FIL & MIL coming over Sat to start doing some repairs to the house (this is my FIL house we are renting)

Sun-did yard work all day, got a lil sunburn. When that was finished tried to teach Evie how to ride her bike without training wheels. Practice, practice practice. Bubbie is still having trouble with pedaling a regular bike (he got a 12in) but he almost has it. BBQ'ed and relaxed rest of the day.

Mon-Went shopping for about 2 hrs, that was fun. Got groceries and some other stuff I needed around the house. Got everything ready for Zoo trip today.

Today--Went to the Toledo Zoo for Evies 1st grade field trip. Walked around for about 4 hrs. A lot hotter today than anticipated. It was beautiful! Luckily another mom wanted to carpool so I got out of driving. Wasn't too keen on driving down to Ohio. Its about an hr south of me. I have never drove myself, usually others drive, so I was so thankful she asked! Some of the exhibits were closed from construction so that kinda sucked but it was a very fun day!! Took our lunches so I did good there! Got home a lil after 3 and went thru my emails really quick, layed down on the couch to pet the dog, and feel asleep for a lil over an hr. Kids were great, quiet, just sat on the other end of the couch and watched TV. Had I not had to get up to make dinner I would have just called it a night.

Tomorrow is Bubbie 1st set of fillings, they will be giving him a lil bit of laughing gas to help keep him still. Going to try and work on the kids room some more. Get some more of their old toys/clothes ready to for donation. Reorganize some more stuff. Having done my 30 day shred in a few days so I want to start that up and do that daily. May even try and throw in a bikeride. If not tomorrow morning, Thursday morning.

Friday is day 1 of PT. Can't wait. Going to be nice to get this situated.

Well that is about it. Going to relax and watched some of my programs the rest of the night.

Have a good evening!

Happy Friday...Get Dr Appt

Friday, May 04, 2012

The dr was so happy with me. Since I seen her last I lost 11 lbs (even with the 2 I gained back this week). She loves my new healthy lifestyle and is so proud of me. (She is a wonderful dr!!) Regarding me knee, as soon as I started to explain she knew (she had the same thing on her left knee). She started explaining it more and I found out that this is what makes my right hip sometimes feel like it is out of place and my lower back pain on the right side. It is Chondromalacia Patella or in other words "Runners Knee". It is common in young women who overuse their knee and have a weak core (which I am working on) who just had babies and so on...I have to go to PT 3 times a week for 6 weeks. It is time consuming but I am going to do it (I never went to PT when I broke me elbow b/c of school). I have time this summer so I am going to get it taking care so I won't end up needing surgery. I can keep up with my workouts and she told me to keep on my yoga and pilates. I am not that good at those but I try and will continue...After all practive makes perfect, RIGHT!!?? The rest of my physical went great!

I decided since I haven't had my day off yet this week I am going to set back and relax with the pup. Catch up on Dancing with the Stars and Betty Whites Off their Rockers (I LOVE BETTY WHITE!!). Got caught up with the Voice last night. Then This weekend me and DH will catch up on Celebrity Apprentice. We both love that show!!!

I was looking for inspiration this morning and came across this poem:

Lessons of Failure
by: Author Unknown, Source Unknown

Lord, are you trying to tell me something?
For...

Failure does not mean I'm a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.

Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.

Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.

Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.

Failure does not mean I don't have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way.

Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.

Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.

Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.

Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.

Failure does not mean that you have abandoned me;
It does mean that you must have a better idea


I printed it off and it is on my wall next to my computer by my list of goals!

Have a good Friday everyone!!
