I have no idea what happened to me the last few weeks.  I have said once I fall off getting going again is so hard.  I can't seem to shake the same cold I have had for over a month now and I think I ran out of rope the last week but I am ready to get going again.

I ran my first mile in 11:30 I was suprised that I could still runn after being so bad the last little bit.  I walked and ran the next 1.25. I am not sure where I should pick back up so I thought 30 minutes was good.  If I was at the gym I would have taken my 1.5 hrs but at home it is to hard to stay on the treadmill much longer because I have to many things to do.

I can say my last pattern of running and working out I did not see alot of physical results and I think that discoraged me alot. I thought after 6 weeks of really working out I would have seen a big diffrence in my body.  

After not working out for a couple of weeks I see huge negative effect in my moods. i am unbearable alot of the time.

I told my self all day yesterday I was going to get on my treadmill and I never did.  i have had the most air headed days of my life the last two days.

Tuesday I thought I would try washing down my fish oil with diet rootbeer. I have to plug my nose to drink it, keep my nose plugged while I rinse it down with something. And I still gag.

So Ya plugging your nose and trying to drink soda not a good idea. I think I choked it all including the fish oil back into my mouth. and then I had fish/rootbeer burps for like an hour.

Yesterday I was on the phone getting some technical suport for my computer (lap top) And the customer service guy was telling me to go type things in and close out windows. So I ran down stairs three time telling him to hang on while I performed these actions before I relized I could just bring my laptop up to the phone with me. The suport guy did not find it funny at all. (I told him I was an idiot and had my lap top next to me now I could imagin him rolling his eyes at me) My cordless was dead.

I down loaded pinks new video from Itunes and it would not play in windows player for me and it would not play from the dvd I burned it to on my tv. I was getting so frusterated trying to figure it out and with the kids that i accidently deleated a couple of my playlists that I had worked a couple of hours putting together. (I have about 10,000 song on my computer) All legal and paid for over the years.  

this dose not include the daily dumb things I do anyways or all the drama with all these kids. My boy I am addopting's paper work has been lost for the second time. They tell me this after 3 months of asking why our prints have not gone through.  My baby's mom has lost her mind as well as her grandparents and she is now in jail and somehow I am supose to be sad about that. And my girl is the biggest brat on the face of the earth right now. O the fits she can throw.

So now that I have vented. I ran my first mile in 10:30 and then I walked .50. I stopped at 20 minutes. I am hoping to go to the gym later or get back on the treadmill when the baby go's down for a nap or bed.

The baby has finally made an attatchment to me which is awsome. We were worried he would not so I can't leave the room with out him crying and he wants me all the time. The negative part of that is i have less time now. Before he was fine by him self or with anyone who wanted him. As far as making sure he dose not aquire a detatchment disorder I give into his every demand when it comes to me.  They say if a baby can't attatch by 6 mths of age they might never.    ( I beleive under the ideal situations they can)

    

So by the time my husband got home I was strung so tight I think he was scared of me.(I did get the best back rub he has ever given me tho) 

    

 I got back on the treadmill when The baby took his nap. I went 2.50 more miles ran my first mile and then kind of just walked the rest. I went for 44:00 minutes. It feels good to be going again but I am tired a little sore. How sad is that I could go 4 miles all at once running and not feel it at all the next day, now look where I am.

I don't know if I have mentioned before but I have the most painful sore on the bottom of my foot. I steped on some barnicals at the beach back in August. It was a deep open cut for about a week and now I have no idea what it is. It is like a clear jelly that is imbedded deep in ,y foot. I have tried everything to get rid of it. Anyways I am getting to the point where I can hardly walk on it. I have been trying to run on the side of my foot the last while.

So needless to say I cross trained today. I did the arc trainer for 15 minutes and then I lifted weights legs arms and abs. Then I rode the bike for 30 minutes.  

It did feel good to get back to the gym and mix things up a bit.
