A day in the life of ME


What its like to be me day in and day out.
Trying to lose weight, living with a husband, 5 children, a
dog, and doing it all while living with my
parents.

It's Sunday

Today is the official "I feel better and am back at it day". Friday the 12th I got sick and have been dealing with that for over a week! That involved a lot of resting and 2 ER trips. I felt so weak yesterday and today.  I think I really noticed it because I finally felt better but it was hard just to stand for any length of time.

 My morning started off with a 1/2 mile walk and 1/2 mile jog, and a short run up my driveway. (but if you have seen my drive way you would understand what that was like!) It took me forever to get cooled off after that. I tried a cold shower, and as I was getting ready for church I would stop at every A/C vent in the house that I walked by, hoping to feel better. Thankfully I have powerful A/C in my car.  I hate being hot and not being able to cool off. It seems I don't sweat very much while I am exercising but afterwards it just pours! I try sitting in front of fans, or A/C vents in the house and nothing every seems to work. Anyone else have that problem? Oh and of course I have to have the beat red face. It's so nice when people have this horrified/concerned look on there face asking me if I'm OK.

  Well this week I need to finish getting the kids' stuff ready for school. I can't believe that summer is already over. I am very ready for fall, but not ready for school. Don't get me wrong, I am super excited to start my 2nd year of home schooling! I went to a home school convention yesterday and it's amazing to see and hear the stories of how the public school fails so many children. Really there is no way that you can teach 30 children and expect them to all learn the same way. Well I won't say anymore about that. I am just excited I have the oportunity to give my children a great experience they will carry through there whole lives!

  Well Wednesday will be another weigh in! I can hopefully visit a gym tomorrow or Tuesday, I hate excersizing on these gravel roads with all the grass hoppers and wasps where I live.

Well, until another day!
