nerves

friday i finally did a workout, i rode the spin bike for 40 minutes. it felt good. but i am still not 100%. i am still congested and have that icky cold taste in my mouth. I despise that ...

today was my first day coaching runners and i loved it. i think the entire experience of watching someone else achieve goals is amazing.

tomorrow i have to run 10 miles. they are having a training run at the place of the half so me and 2 other moms are heading down there to run it. I am so nervous since i did not work out all week. I am also nervous b/c of the cold. but i am going, and i will push thru.

sick

the joys of being sick

food tastes like metal
your chest hurts
breathing hurts
your mouth is forever dry
you can't workout so you fear that you have lost all you trained for
you actually believe you will never feel normal again
your kids could care less that you are sick
you sound like you are a 40 year long 2 pack a day smoker - and you feel like it
is it a cold or is it allergies ? how the hell does a person know. you wait to see if it lasts for more than a week ???

I hope tomorrow is my rebound day, where i feel better and get back in the game of life.

bad head cold

first the cleanse

then the move

now a bad head cold

i can't get a full good week of workouts in and it is stressing me out

i have not had a cold in a long time (i owe that to exercise, eating right and taking shaklee) however i have one now and it sucks ass. i really hope tomorrow i can feel like a human again and get back to unpacking, working out, and overall having a life.

move, organizing, decorating and bad food

we moved yesterday

it took the entire day, 8am the movers started, 10.30pm they left

i ate 15 tagalongs, pizza, didn't drink enough water

i feel hungover today

going to get to trader joes and get the house stocked up

it was so crazy that i left a bunch of cleaning stuff and food (hence all the tagalongs, those i did not leave behind)

i am going to really focus on being organized in this house

and i am ready to decorate. i suck at it. but i am ready to learn and do. so send me your tips/advice/websites about organization  decorating. i am ready -. wheeee

i should be unpacking....

uh oh ....cleanse

so last night i cheated. btw the stress of packing, moving, ocd kid, cleanse, lawyers, hubby who works till all hours, i caved. i ate toasted wheat bread with butter, then 2 tagalongs.

this am i woke up with a rash, it is a rash that i have had and was gone once i started the cleanse. Yesterday I added in cashew nut butter, but b/c i cheated and mixed wheat toast in there - now i am screwed about knowing what caused the rash. however - i am thinking it was the toast. so i will not eat bread for a few more days and then taste it out. i love bagels, it was the first question i asked regarding the cleanse. Yes I know they have gluten free and they aren't bad, but nothing tops the experience of walking into your favorite bagel shop and getting that bagel toasted with butter.....

hubby brought home gluten free brownies from whole foods and they were delish !!!(for my bday) woot woot. 43. bring it.

might start writing about going gluten free - if you are GF please send me your thoughts/tips/advice/comments/concerns....blood

They do clinical research on all the products. They will not produce and market a product unless they have tested it and it works. They are GREEN !!

shaklee

Oprah had Roger the CEO and owner of the company on her show and she was raving about the Get Clean products, the White House uses Shaklee to clean. Going non toxic not only helps your family, it helps earth.

go, be green, think about it, think about how you can make a change in your home !!!

8 miles

I did 8 miles today and the first mile I was smiling and almost laughing b/c I was so darn happy to be out there running, man I missed it. I felt good, although the area on my feet right below my toes hurt and feel a little blistery. I even created a new ipod list to listen to and the timing worked out perfect !!!

I am in the adding back part of the cleanse and all is good. It is funny b/c I am so happy to be in the adding back phase and my thought process is that I feel like I am done with the cleanse, and then I realize I still can't eat chocolate, or chips. So it is a good check for me to continue eating healthy, and really get my veggies and fruits in. I found some cooked chicken strips from Trader Joe's that I love and can throw in a salad and it tastes great !! If anyone is interested in trying out the cleanse you can check it out on this site, it will run again in April - just let them know that Josephine sent ya !! I highly recommend it.

Friday we move. This week is all about packing and trying to keep my sanity while keeping the kids on their schedule, and keeping my eating healthy. Wish me luck.

Goals for the new house, be more organized, more clean, and decorate !!!!!
