Bad Blogger

You guys, I am SO sorry!  Just as a heads up, we are probably the busiest people you’ve (n)ever met when the spring and summer months come!!!!!  We are on the go non-stop and our lives have been crazy busy these past few weeks.

First of all, thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for all the positive, sweet, kind, flattering, you name it, words about the Half!  I’m still reeling about it and beaming   Ah……memories…….

Speaking of, remember when I told you all about my knee and it’s “issues”?  Well this morning I went to the doctor for a follow up.  For those of you that weren’t reading the blog back then, or for those of you that forgot, last year when I did my 5k I was having a lot of knee pain.  I went in to the Dr and they basically said that my right knee has no cartilege what-so-ever and it looks like the knee of an 80-year old.  This was good and bad.  Bad for obvious reasons.  Good because when I basically heard that I can’t run, I wanted to run more than ever!  Enter: Reason #1 to do a Half Marathon!

After recently completing the Half though (and wanting to train for my next) my gut told me that I really need to go and see a Dr again and listen to what they have to say…..I LOOOOVE running now but if I can’t walk when I’m 40, it’s definitely not worth it!

So my Dr appt this morning was meh…  she told me that I need to go see a Physical therapist and see what they have to say.  She thinks that they’ll be able to give me advice and tips and show me exercises to work around my “condition” as we’ll call it   She hopes/thinks that I won’t have to quit running, but it’s basically at my own risk because she said it is putting a big strain on my body……  So next Monday I go see a Physcial Therapist and will know more then!  **Keep your fingers crossed!!**

Other than that, I have some amaaaaaazingly cute pictures of Baylee to show you but I can’t find my camera cord!!!!!!  I’m actually kind of freaking out about it because I ALWAYS keep it in the same exact place!

We also had a really fun Memorial Day cookout at our house this weekend and I really want to show you guys some pics   WHERE ARE YOU, CAMERA CORD???????? I promise as soon as I find it that I will post pics!  I am SO sorry for being a bad blogger lately!!  Thank you all so much for being patient with me and for keeping reading!  If it helps, blogging sporatically has been a huge stress reliever for me!!  Before I really felt pressure to blog every single evening and it took so much time that I was putting blogging ahead of sleep, preparing my food for the next day, relaxing, Chad time, etc….now though, I blog when I have time and when I feel like it.  Bad for you guys, good for me   So bare with me!

Alright, sorry to jet but speaking of sleep, I need some!

OH yeah, before I forget…..remember when a month or two ago I announced that I was stopping counting calories/points??  Well I was scared out of my mind after counting for 7 years but I’m happy to report that I have 100% maintained my weight!  And am a MUCH happier girl!  I am loving it.  I have fluctuated up and down 1-2 pounds and actually settle in right around 124 which I think is just fine.  I’m just really trying to follow the 90/10 rule and eating great 90% of the time and leave the other 10% for events, eating out, etc.  Woohoo!!! 

P.S. Aren’t you guys thrilled it’s already Thursday tomorrow?  I LOVE 4-day work weeks!
