The first week

  So my first week, it is usually the hardest one when trying to establish a workout and eating plan but I made it!  Down 4 lbs already.  

  So Monday I worked my half day and went for a trail run, sounds easy doesn't it.  Well, not so much.  I got changed, headed out to find a trail a friend had told me about, no luck so I turned around and headed towards the National forest by our house but first had to stop by the house to get some money for parking.  This is one of the things we did not get accomplished before Travis left - with him being militrary he gets a pass for us but we were not able to knock it off the list.  So once I parked and found a trail it was great, just a detour to get there. 

   Tuesday and Wednesday were like any other day -work all day  

  Thursday, I had to take Kayden to his parental visit, then to the audiologist for part of his screening for preschool.  He wouldn't let them do the regular ear bud in the ear test so we had to go sit in a sound booth, then I had to hold him so they could do some more tests in his ears, that earnd him chick-fil-a for lunch.  Then back to the daycare for him so I could get my hair done.  

  Friday, I went back to crossfit.  I thought I was going to die.  We ran and squated and normally I would do a few puffs on my inhaler before hand but I couldn't find it and I hadn't needed it in a long time but I could have used it that day for sure.  So what does any sane person who just finished torture do?  Hot Yoga?  Why yes you are right!  As I was driving there I was going through the I feel dizzy, I feel nauseated, should I do this,  I should just go home this is nuts thoughts.  But I went and it was great, I got there early like always and just lay on my mat and became acclimated to the heat then we did all the moves and stretches, some a bit harder than usual but still felt good.  I sweated buckets, but it felt good.  I went home showered and worked on organizing my bedroom.  Then loaded up with a friend and I went to Chloe's school for a watermelon tail gate.  

  Saturday, we got up and went to get hay again and unloaded it, farm girls.  We then got ready and went to a birthday party on base.  Pool never opened but we still had fun, Kayden did amazing - no freak outs over balloons and he ate his specially made for him pizza and his cookies I brought him and never wondered why his food was different.  I did slip up a bit on my diet here, I ate a piece of pizza, only because once we were there I realized I never ate breakfast & only had coffee.  He played at the park and had fun.  We left and both boys were asleep in the car by the time we hit the highway.  So thankful for Chloe, she ran into petsmart and purchased her chinchilla food.  She has done this for me a couple times at different places, she looks so much older and knows how to use the debit card so no one seems to question it - hope that doesn't come back to bite me.

   Which brings me to Sunday my cheat day - we got up and went to Einstiens for bagels, I didn't get one, just Chloe did.  I did get a vanilla latte though.  The real deal, not skinny, not soy, real stuff.  Then once in Sunday school I ate breakfast casserole, yummy gooey, cheesey, green chili filled breakfast casserole.  We left church and went to the mall were I got a strawberry Orange Julius and once home I made dinner but only ate the guacamole that was meant for the burgers with some chips and a beer.  Which I drank 4 sips of.  I am such a rebel!!

  So week one is down & I am well on the way through my second week.  I feel good, have energy & have been sleeping wonderfully.  Yea for a healthy life!
