I'm Still Here

Just a quick note that I'm still kickin'. I have been so busy with our 11yr old scout overnighter and my back that I haven't been able to get on the computer much. Thankfully the overnighter is over. 35 boys and 40 adult men and we only had one bad sprained ankle. A father thought he was still an 11yr old. haha But he did jump 10'10"!
Now for pinewood derby in 3 weeks with 100boys. Oh boy. It will be fun. Well got to run to the chiropractor and then the gym.
Happy Monday!!

  It was fun but stressful for a bit because I am in charge of ALL of it. The leader called for it had to back down 2 weeks before so I had to throw it together. At least the Pinewood will be under my control from the beginning haha.

Ranting, Venting, Complaining

Can I vent right now?....
I am so frustrated, stressed, overwhelmed, angry, emotional, depressed, what else can I think of?! I just want to cry!!!!
*My body hurts and generally all over aches and feels like CRAP from my back hurting. I feel nauseous from the pain.
*I am so tired still from being sick last week. I don't think I'm over that yet and have to take afternoon naps.
*I have scout crap that I have slacked on and am going to regret, I'm sure.
*My house looks like a tornado hit it and I don't have the energy to clean it.
*The kids are driving me nuts! Ryan won't do his work at school or spends 25min in the bathroom there or is standing on desks & starting food fights (not to mention the Principle caught him during his food fight)! He has also started screaming bloody murder when he doesn't get his way (see he's not always the happy smiling child you all see at church, etc) Trey is so emotional I'm going to scream. Emily whines about doing anything.
*Mark is gone all the time because of busy season (which is fine but I miss him) and it's always an adjustment.
*I'm trying to do this competition and I'm struggling. I haven't been able to go to the gym last week and food wasn't the best because of being sick. I'm finally getting back and eating right but slowly. However, yesterday I did the stairs for about 40min and I think that didn't help my back. ARG! I sure hope that it gets better soon because I need to get back on those stairs for an hour! I am sooooo frustrated!
*Then I'm trying to put the Lord first in everything and and and... I don't know. I think I'm doing good there but I don't know maybe not....
I'm going to the temple. Good bye.

  Thanks! It really is the final key for me.

Still Sick

Note I will have to post back info for this tomorrow...
I was so excited that I was feeling better yesterday. I even went to Danny's & helped out with our school's dedication. However, I think the dedication did me in because I am horribly tired again today. :o( So tired you start to fall asleep while chewing food. Ugh, this is unreal.

Come to find out that this is probably the same thing Danny had. I remember her being so tired. She was even ready to be checked for mono. Thankfully, she got better after about 3weeks. Good thing is that I know there is an end. Bad thing... I just hope it's not 3 weeks (meaning 2 more weeks left).

It's discouraging, but what can you do?

So no exercise again today. Slept.

Exercise yesterday was
30 ball squats & throws (10lb)
30 squats lifting 45lb? weight
30 thrusters w/ 2 20lb dumbells
then 20 each, 10 each
This should have only taken about 8min for me but it took 17! haha All you can do is laugh. :oP
My heart rate was 160-175. Funny that that is when I know I am working hard and I wasn't even doing that much.
I'm interested in learning more of what affects the heart rate change so much. Some days I will do that exact same workout but my heart rate isn't as high and thus don't burn the same amount of calories. I wonder what affects it? Hmm.

Then 50 sit ups into a jump.
Not the best of my workouts but it kicked me.

Today my food wasn't where is should be again due to being sick. Though I did find myself giving in more than before. I will conquer this... just not tonight. It is bed time.
Good night to all! And sweet dreams.

Ps. Anyone else now dreaming of working out? Too funny. You would think you get enough during the day. :oD
