Well been a while since I did this!

Blog that is lol!!!

In Sept 2011, I had a MAJOR set back... doctor had no clue what had happened and I hadn't done anything that could explain my situation.

We had been renovating out house for some time and my 50th BD was coming up, so I decided to take some down time... did nothing for over a week after my BD Party.  Then one Saturday morning I woke up and could hardly move.  It didn't get any better after a few days.

Now after blood tests, a few of them, x-rays, and then an MRI... we got an answer.

Seems my lower pelvis is a mess and they consider that I had a "Perfect Storm" hit... might have been while I was sleeping... just the wrong movement and bang!! Triggered the symptoms.

All of my disks in the L1-5 have issues, I also have degenerative disease and some narrowing where the nerves exit through the vertebra.

Bottom line... no more running, nothing that is an impact type exercise, like plyometrics for example.

I have put 30 of the 40lbs lost back on... so not thrilled about almost starting over again... why the weight gain?  Easy answer... I was experiencing bad nausea for quite a while, the only way it would subside, was to keep food in my stomach, thus grazing ALL day, add to that not able to work out = Weight Gain.

In the next few days to a week... I will work out a Plan, jumping right into it, not a good idea and the doctor stated walking at 3 mph, I can lose the same amount of weight as I would if I run... just have to get back on track with the dietary and kick the bad habits to the curb again!! :o)

I will update as I go ♥

Have a great week!!

This Week! INSANE! lol!!

So sorry I have not had time to blog this past week.  As many who know me, we have been deep into Renovations for the past year, and we are currently in the "home stretch" on two major projects.

Hip Pain....... again!!!! grrrrrr!

So the last few days, I decided that things were not changing and it was time to get running again, so I did....


Just short runs at 6 & 7mph for 1 minute, 45 or 30 seconds to test the hip out.

Crazy Pace... and Eating Right

Are the wheels falling off? lol!!


Its an expression for me personally when life gets going at such a pace that its hard to keep up.  That's what life has been like for a while now.


I was able to fit in workouts during downtime from renovating our house but, now that the renos are in full swing, everything seems to squeeze from all directions.

Do you Own a BlackBerry? An iPhone or a Computer? LOL! :oP

Found a great little app for FREE on my BlackBerry Apps World... and it probably exists for the iphone and others out there.


BUT, the good news, its NOT just limited to a phone, yep, you CAN use it on line too and its still FREE!!


You can track what you eat, and what you do and its geared to the USA, CANADA and other countries for your foods!!! Loving it!!!!


I downloaded it yesterday and love it!! it takes a little playing around, first go into the settings and set it up for your country, then play around in there to find all that you are looking for.  And yes, you CAN add foods to it which makes it GREAT and YES you can sync it to the version on line!! whooohooo!!


This link is for the BlackBerry App. (Click Here)

And this link will take you to the site....


CLICK HERE FOR THE ON-LINE VERSION

And last but not least....


CLICK HERE FOR THE IPHONE APP.

You can log your starting weight, your exercise and your journals... the ONLY complaint I have is that I can't edit out some of calorie expenditures but, those are the basics that will be on any app.


Enjoy and keep moving!! ♥ 

Weigh In Day is Here Again! lol!! + Recipe

Seems like it was only yesterday that I weighed in lol!!


Well, this week was a ZERO, ZIP, NADDA,, NOTHING for weight loss numbers, nope, not even a pound, which I thought I would see.  But, why?

RECIPE ---> Not Mine but, Sharing :o)

On our way home today from the Canada Day Parade, we stopped to pick up an item, I noticed a little book on the counter, they are always free, so I brought it home to check out the new recipes.
Hey, why invent the wheel if you don't have to lol!!!  so I found this recipe and with a few "tweaks" its a healthier alternative than the original.
