Sick

Last week on the 6th my oldest daughter and I woke up sick, runny nose and a cough. We stayed home and tried resting and taking it easy so that we could get better. Fast forward to this week, Monday morning we both ended up at the Doctor's office. She has a sinus infection and I was border line pneumonia with bronchitis. We both were put on antibiotics on Monday, but yesterday was our worst day yet. Coughing all day, feeling miserable. She was feeling better today and had been on antibiotics for 24+ hours so she went back to school. I am feeling a little better than yesterday but still really tired and coughing. My poor little 5 year old started up coughing yesterday and today she is pretty sick. I hate when my kids are sick but I am so glad they didn't get it as bad as I did.

I really miss working out. I was finally in a good routine of 2 weeks straight working out 6 days a week. This illness has really put a stop to that.

I have amazing friends. Monday I had 2 friends just drop by with food for my family, and yesterday I had a friend drop by with some amazing chicken and potato soup. My kids, husband and I gobbled it up, it hit the spot. Thank you for your random acts of service, it means a lot to me. I have not been able to stand up more than 5 minutes at a time so bringing my family meals has helped more than I can express. Thank You!

I hope that I will start feeling more like myself. My lungs are really being hit hard this time. I had pneumonia this time of year 4 years ago, it was the worst feeling in the world to be so sick. I had a feeling I was on my way there this time so I am glad I went in to the doctor and he got me on medicine before it progressed into pneumonia.

It is really hard for me to just sit still and not do anything. My house is seriously upside down in filth and kid mess. The dishes are piled high, the laundry that I did all last week is piled high and not folded. Nahvi keeps cutting up paper and making crafts and the mess never ends. My husband is super busy at work so he has not been able to help like I had hoped.

Mom's should not get sick, we should get a free pass until our kids are older. I just want someone to take care of me but instead I have to get the kids food, clean up spills, find something for them to watch on t.v., there is always something. I am not getting the rest I should get because my 5 year old is a busy body, she always has something she needs my help with. I don't mind so much when I am feeling well, but it is too hard when I am sick.

Sorry for the rant post, I just hate feeling like this.

Red Rock Relay: Zion

Three years ago I ran my first relay race, Red Rock Relay Zion , with Team Herriman Hotties. I was already in the middle of my weight loss journey but I was struggling with losing weight, I didn't know I had PCOS or Insulin Resistance at the time but I was eating right and exercising all the time. This wonderful group of Women let me be part of this amazing team, they loved and accepted me how I was and cheered me on, every step of the way. I was runner # 4 with a total of 18.5 miles to complete over 3 runs in 24 hours time. I had the best time running with these women in this beautiful relay race across Southern Utah that started at Brian Head Ski Resort and Finished at Zion's National Park. Herriman Hotties has had several different runners over the years due to people needing to drop off the team for various reasons. In total, there are 21 Herriman Hottie Alumni, and we all have a very strong bond. I love each of these women, they all inspire me, motivate me and make me ...

I'm back! For Realzies!

Okay, so it is time I am serious about posting my progress. This year I have lost a lot, but gained it right back as soon as I stopped moving. I got into bad habits with eating and sleeping and now I regret not keeping up with the workouts and healthy eating habits, even though I was burnt out, it was not worth gaining it back. It comes on faster than it goes, now the hard work starts over again. Someday I will learn, I hope... I am, however, proud to list my accomplishments: 3 5ks so far 1 10 k 1 15 k 2 half marathons so far On Sept. 11th I will be running in my first relay race. I am very excited but I have 3 legs to run in 24 hours: Leg 1= 6.5 Leg 2= 6.3 Leg 3= 3.9 I also plan on running at least 2 more half marathons this year. My new adventure in weight loss starts on Monday, May 24th. I joined a local Boot Camp for 3 months, so by Aug. 23rd I Will be looking good. I will be working out 5 days a week at 5:30 am. Yeah, crazy I know! I really want to push myse...

Day three: Different Trainer

Wow, can I say that I am sore from the stairs yesterday!? Sore in places I did not know I had muscles! That aside, today was a great workout. We had a different trainer today, she was awesome and pushed us hard. It is nice having two different trainers that work you till you drop. They have different styles so I think it is great to get pushed in different ways and work different muscles. I am starting to get to know some of the people in the class, all very nice. Day 3 was great, I am starting to feel really good. Last night my sleep wasn't the greatest, I kept waking up every hour thinking I would not get up in time and miss my alarm. My soreness levels: Monday's workout I could feel today and was about a 3 out of 10 in soreness. Tuesday's workout I would say was around a 7 or 8  out of 10 mostly in my legs. Biggest loser was great last night, go Mike! We had biggest loser party at my friends house with healthy snacks and food. Good times! I can't believe we...
