I am bad at this
I totally forgot I had even started this thing!
So after 3 weeks of a stomach bug, we are all healthy again. I feel like I am back at square one with my training. I haven't been in the pool in a month, I have run 2 times in the last month, and not ridden my bike at all. Last night I had the perfect opportunity to swim. Went with one my good friends to look at bridesmaids dresses and could have gone after, but opted instead to go to Bennigan's and shoot the breeze. I could have left there earlier and gone, but I didn't. I realized last night as I was going to sleep I am scared of going back to training b/c I am going to suck wind and have so much ground to make up. So what now? I'm just going to not workout again? What an idiot. So this morning I got up at 6 and ran 2 miles. It was a hard 2 miles, but I did it. I went to my Core Strength class too. The plan is to swim tomorrow and ride on Friday. Then I should be back on track, if I don't totally sabotage myself and don't go.
We have our plan in motion to move out of NJ. Yesterday on Oprah I learned that NJ is #1 in the country in HS graduation rate. South Carolina is #50. Guess where we want to move?! Whatever, I have looked at the school system stats for the area we are looking at and they are good, so I am not worried. It hit me the other day that Chuck will be done with school in less than 4 months and the job hunt will ensue. I am excited and looking forward to it, but also scared and sad b/c I do have wonderful, loving, generous friends here and I will miss them terribly. I think it may make me physically ill when we leave. At the same time, I know this is best for us.
That's it for today. Hi Winona. I would guess you are the only one reading this, LOL!
Oh, BTW, I can run a hotel, but have no idea how to set up this stupid blog thing!

What a week
I have no idea what I am doing with this blog thing, so bear (sp) with me, OK? I am only doing this b/c winona does and I am copying her - haha.
This week really sucked. Lindsay has been sick since Wednesday morning. Woke up and promptly threw up all over me. 18 sessions of this later, the poor kid was 1 pound lighter and totally miserable. The next day dawned with awful diarhea (my apologies to the non kid crowd) all day long. Friday she seemed to be doing better until her hands, feet, and lips turned blue. took her temp - 96.9- and rushed her to the Dr. Dehydration. Why don't kids like Pedialyte? We are literally FORCING it into her. She threw up once last night and once today. Tomorrow has to be better, right? Top that off with a head cold for mommy and potty training a willful 3 yr old, and you have a week made in hades.
Chuck took Alyson to swimming and to the park to ride her bike today. Now he is at the batting cages. When am I getting out of the house, I ask myself. Apparently never.
On the upside, I was down another 1 pound today, YAY!
