Recent Runs

-
It's been a little while since I've written anything. I've been struggling mentally with my runs. I've been giving up and just walking. This last week though I had a good 3 mile run - nice pace and I didn't stop. This weekend I had a nice 6 mile hilly run. I took water and walked a little more on the last mile than I had wanted to, but I was pleased with myself for the run. I walked not because I mentally quit but because physically I knew that I needed a break. My heart rate was very high and I was having difficulty breathing. I could feel myself starting to wheeze. Today I went for a short 2 mile run. It was extremely hot and humid in addition to an Air Quality alert. But I got a nice short run.

Tomorrow we are under a heat advisory. I'm thinking my cardio tomorrow will be swimming!

    Congratulations on running. Yes, today is suppose to be very very hot and humid. Today happens to be my rest day from yesterday's long run, so no worrying about melting out there today. Have fun with your swimming. Sounds like something in order with the heat.

My Personal Experience With Essential Oils

I seriously used to laugh at those who used essential oils. It reminded me of people who used to sell snake oil. Every time that I got sick or had an ailment, friends would ask if I had tried this or that oil, I would politely smile and say that I hadn't. I've always been skeptical - the roll your eyes kind of skeptical.

A few months ago, a teacher friend was having a doTERRA party with the option of purchasing $5 roller ball bottles. I didn't make it to the party, but I did buy a few roller ball bottles. For $5 I thought I'd give it a try, then I could tell those that yes I've tried it and move on so to speak.

I even laughed as I told my mom that I was giving them a try. I told her that I didn't think it would work, but it was worth trying. (I'd been dealing with a sinus infection for weeks that just wouldn't go away.)

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day (that I thought I had planned) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?

Why I'm Weighing In

It's no secret that nutrition has been my struggle for several years now. As I type this I'm in the trenches of giving up sugar for 14 days (I'm Giving Up Sugar For 14 Days). I'm also doing a weight loss challenge with less than a week to go.

The reason I am weighing in is because I'm experimenting to see if I have maybe found what works for me in regards to losing weight and then hopefully maintaining.

So far, I've lost 7lbs since January 1. I'm
