So...here I sit...full of anticipation ....surprised that I have already heard from my doctor about my MRI.. I had mixed emotions but first I went into complete doom...something I always fall to...but then I did a little research (at the urging of a friend) and I found out that it isn't as bad as it first seemed. I do have an appointment with an orthopedic clinic and will find out a course of action.
From what I gathered from the preliminary reading of the MRI is that I have a herniated disc...and then some narrowing of something (lol) in two other areas.
And the additional frustrating part is that the common causes are directly related to aging and weight. One thing I am controlling and other...well..yay..no control...
So yet another reason why we should all be encouraging our youth to stay physically fit. I can't even begin to tell you how sad and upset I was to learn that maybe I wouldn't be able to continue working out or not be able to run...or that I would put weight back on...I know I went to the most awful to me thoughts first, but man...it stinks to think those things.

Yes from Within...
The other day I received a lovely message on Facebook from one of the kindest people I know. She is a friend from High School. Facebook is a wonderful place to re-connect. Anyway..her is part of the message...
..would you consider talking about how you reached the point of wanting to make all of these changes in your life? And how, for all of these changes to be effective and become permanent, they have to come from within...?
I responded back with a quick reply..."sure...that will be my next post"
So here is my response...
Pretty much right out of college (1982) I met a pretty nice guy...in 1984 we got married and in 1985 I had a baby...this was 100 pounds later...yep...I did put on about 100 pounds with my first pregnancy. I was so infatuated with my new life...marriage and being a new mom...that the weight didn't really even bother me. I can truly say that I wasn't really that affected by it. I did take off some weight, not really trying... and then in 1988 baby number two arrived and so did some additional poundage...again loving my life...being a teacher etc I just carried on. We did all the normal parenting things...all the normal activities and continued with our lives. We ate good...and I loved all the junk. Shortly after baby 2 arrived I began working for Wilder Foundation...became very busy balancing home and career...changing careers by going back into teaching and 10 years after #2 number #3 came along...with about 20 more pounds. I was significantly in the 200 plus pound range. I knew I wasn't healthy...but to be honest with dance classes, Girl Scouts, summer activities and work...and now a third child who really had time to take care of themselves? And again I never really bought into all the "you should look this way or act this way or appear this way..." So my life continued...two daughters graduated HS and attended college and graduated college and moved on ...to different states...I suddenly felt like my life was pitiful...I still have daughter #3...and still her stuff to contend too...but it really started to slow down and I found myself drinking more Diet Coke and eating more chips and more Girl Scout cookies...we also went through some emotional highs and lows...which caused lots of emotional eating...lots and lots...
I knew I had to make a change...
I deemed 2012 to be my year
But it didn't necessarily include weight loss...at first...I tried to make and keep other goals...but nothing seemed to work...nothing seemed to inspire me and I truly wasn't very happy. So unhappy that I really couldn't even focus or look myself in the mirror...
I needed to make a change...After getting therapy on my knee and really having to focus on my lack of physicality...I knew the change had to come from within...and I knew it had to be something physical...I was so worried about being a burden to my children as I grew older...I knew that I wanted to enjoy my mid life and I knew neither were going to happen if I didn't do something with my body...MY BODY!
So in April I pursued finding a way to get my physical act together...
And it has been a journey...a happy journey. It is happy because it was my doing...my decision and something I always knew I could do. I always liked doing exercise and knew that it would be the secret to my success..whenever that success was to happen.
So 9 months later...many pounds lost...many inches gone...I am a much happier person inside and out...I have a focus (and it is me) I am enjoying life...My job doesn't stress me half as much as it use to and I am making friends. I also find myself helping and encouraging others.
So there you have it...a chapter in my life called Yes from Within...

This and That...
Sitting here in my sweats and reflecting on my week..it has been an interesting full week. My blog is intended to be a reflection and reinvention of my myself....
Yoga! What a surprise! I like it! It has been a pleasant surprise...I did 3 classes of Bikram Yoga in New York this summer and it was good. I had every intention of looking for a studio here in MN but never got around to following thru...so when my friend Melissa told me about the Moksha studio that she has been going to I invited myself along. It is hot yoga and the class we are going to is cardio based. Today we went in the early afternoon and there were lots and lots of people...and a few excessively sweaty boys...Today we both felt calmer and relaxed with lots of energy afterward! Looking forward to going again!
Workouts! This week I was prompted to switch up my workouts. In the past 8 plus months I have been working out two times a week with my trainer and then doing cardio on my own..mostly running outside. This week I started out doing a workout in more of a class environment...2-3 of us right now...it is the same stuff I have been doing...but with breaks...I really like going every day...the consistency...the intensity...and the ME time! It has really helped me focus on how to make it a priority but also how to "keep" living, also! Rachael, a coworker, has been attending with me and it has been fun having a cardio buddy!
Work! What can I say. Thankfully the kid part of work is going well. I really enjoy the teens in my classes. A couple of my students have really been struggling and I have been trying to help them. It is hard to step in when it really should be their parents. We had conferences this week and that always throughs me off...long day and night..I should say that all parts of work are going okay. I just don't like to do all the "other" stuff that is required! But who does?
Illness! So on Friday after my workout I was feeling icky! I had errands to run and upon getting home I was disoriented! First thing I thought was the FLU! I crashed for a couple hours, ate some dinner, and drank a lot a lot of water and felt back to normal! I think it was all because I didn't eat on my usual schedule...that will teach me!
Social! Okay so one of my goals for this year was to become more social! It isn't really a resolution but something that I need to bring back into my life. Raising kids you are sort of forced into the social circle that deals with their extra curricular activities...Girl Scouts, sports, Parent groups etc...well for the most part that is over for me..I do still have some Lydia stuff but not much. So I find myself at home quite a bit...ironically it is something I craved back in my busy days. I am needing to find things to do and places to be...Yesterday I started texting some friends telling them I am bored and that we should get together. All of them contacted me and said they were bored too! lol...So we are in the progress of lining up some "fun" stuff!
Weekend! This weekend has been so relaxing...so much so I haven't done much! lol...My house is a disaster...It is so cold that I have found myself wrapped up in blankets! Yoga has given me more energy but the cold has stopped me from using it!
Daughters! Lydia strained her back so had a doctor appointment on Friday. Her older sister and I both have lower back issues so it isn't totally surprising. The doctor did a nice job explaining it to her and what she needed to do. She has been following thru for the most part and hopefully it will be all better by the end of the week!
Lincoln! What a great movie! I was really wanting to go to a chic flick but no one could go with me so I settle on seeing Lincoln with the hubby! What a great great flick! I urge everyone to go! The line with the most impact on me "Can you just be liberal instead of your selfish self.." There were many humorous parts and some that surprised me!
So there you have it! I long complete week! How was your week?

All Around Me...
All around me people are working on their fitness. They are doing so many different things. I often sit and wonder what their motivation is for choosing what they do and how they do it. I do, of course, have opinions, but also know that my opinions are just my opinions.
YOGA: Up until I tried Bikram and then Moksha Yoga I never considered it a fitness concept...to be truthful I thought of it as a way to relax...boy am I wrong. Hot house yoga is the only type I have tried and man...are those tough..you sweat and get a cardio workout and stretching...I really like yoga and need to figure out a way to work into my new lifestyle.
Health Clubs: I am up in the air how I feel about health clubs. I think they are awesome and great and EXPENSIVE. I think the fact that they are convenient and seem to appear on many corners in many areas is a plus but also a downfall. They make it easy to sign up but so many people sign up ...start going and then quit! I also never can remember how to use the machines and it seems there are never anyone around that know either.
Slim Genics, Medifast, Jenny Craig etc : These places are so intriguing to me. I am always impressed by the commercials. I also wonder if there is a gimmick...what are they REALLY selling me and is it really healthy. I struggle taking vitamins so I don't think I would be successful with this type of program. I have had some friends that have been successful and thrive on the counseling part. Oh and I am such a picky eater...you know...that texture thing!
DVDS: oy! Don't get me started...I get so intimidated by Jillian and other similar people...they sound so pompous and degrading... I think, again, they work for some people...but I feel silly doing them! I did Jillian's 30 Day Shred...and it was good..I don't think I lost any weight nor did I do anything after the 30 days...not a fan!
Personal Trainers: EXPENSIVE most of the time. Intense some of the time. I think you have to be comfortable enough with yourself to be successful with this type of plan. You also have to be able to trust that the trainer is not leading you down the wrong path and that they are invested in your well being.
And then there are all the equipment needed type of programs...kettle bells, stability balls, weights etc...You really have to be a self motivated person
It is really cool all the choices that are out there and I think it is honorable when people give things a try...I feel that your physical fitness is perhaps the most important thing you can improve upon.
I say go for it and stick with it!

Eggs-actly
Up until last Sunday I had never eaten one! Is that weird?
In June I had made it a goal to try an egg sometime before Christmas. The reason being I knew it was a great source of protein...right?
Here is the problem...I am s texture freak! And come on...just looking at an egg I knew the texture would throw me over the edge! In fact just writing this makes me shudder! Also the odor of freshly peeled or cooked eggs is pretty strong...smelly! It is something I just couldn't get over! And besides those two issues...my mom doesn't like them so she never made them so as a kid I never was really introduced to them...
This all brings me to Sunday and my egg experience ...I got a spinach salad from Panera...and right on top is a hard boiled egg...shudder...but then I thought...just eat it you big baby!
So I looked at it for awhile...picked it upland smelled it...poked at it...then I nibbled it...eh not bad...I swallowed and took another actual bite..,I didn't gag but I was warned that the yolk was icky for some...so another bite landed me into the yolk and eh not bad! I then polished off the rest and didn't throw up...but I did struggle a bit when some of it mushed up between my cheek and gum...but I survived!
This weekend I plan on boiling some eggs and make another attempt at eating them!
My next adventure will be fish....Ewww

Today is a Good Day!
Today is a good day!
1. My run was sweet and really energized me.
2. I have chatted with all my girls and a couple nieces and they all made me smile!
3. I am probably changing how I am working out and that is exciting.
4. My workout wiped me out...but that is okay and I know it is working!
5. My students are awesome kids and have come along way and that makes me proud!
6. I have made some attempts to figure out my desire toward my faith and that has me puzzled!
7. I realized today that I have amazing new and old friends and that is thrilling!

If I had $10 for...
If I had $10 for every time someone told me I was an inspiration to them I would have a couple thousand dollars...oh I could use that cash...
Since returning to work this fall I have fielded many comments about my weight loss. It has been good. Many compliments...many whys and many hows...I was warned this was going to happen..
At first it was hard to answer..although the attention was earned I am not one to relish in it.
As time has passed the hows have become more sincere and find myself being pretty upfront with people..
"I bet it was hard..." I honestly tell people that it was not really HARD...the reason? because I am doing it for myself! I am not doing it for any other reason...just for me!
"What was the hardest thing to give up?" Well I didn't have to give up anything but I did decide that certain things were no longer needed or wanted...I no longer needed or wanted my beloved Diet Coke...
"How often do you workout?" Everyday! (some days more than others)
"Oh I can't do _________ or _____________" Well you asked so I told you.....
I totally know you have to want this for yourself or it won't work...I know what work(s) for me and it has been a lifestyle change.

Up Early...
Right now I can barely keep my eyes open...I am so tired.
Today started with the alarm going off at 4:50. I set it a bit early so that I could get all my duds on for my run...it takes a bit longer in the winter.
After getting the dogs settled I set out on my 3 mile route. It is what I stick to in the wee hours of the day. As soon as I took off I knew it would be a good steady run.
There was no wind and just a slight snow fall...so peaceful. I wore my big mittens, face mask and my head lamp...by the time I hit the home stretch the mittens were off and the headlamp was around my neck! I am sure I looked the site!
Upon getting back I checked my time and realized I made it in 33 minutes..2 minutes better than my usual time. I was content.
I quickly got my breakfast ready, then ready for work and then I prepped some spaghetti sauce for dinner, made lunches and headed off to work.
Work was exhausting but I so looked forward to working out afterward...I think it kept me afloat today
Laura joined me working out. It was a good workout mostly legs and arms...which totally zonked me out. My legs are achy tonight oh and so are my arms...lol..all good!
The best news...something I was anticipating being quite the opposite is that since my last time weighing in...12/20 til today I lost 3 pounds..how's that for Christmas and New Year cheer? I was so relieved and I think I smiled for an hour!
Thankfully dinner was in the crockpot and that today is Wednesday and not Monday...two more days and then a short reprieve!
How was your day!

Omitted One...Goal...Bringing it back...
About a month ago I was having a pity party...a social life pity party...or lack thereof...you see...I purposely have a sorry social life and I need to do something about it...
I have a theory...I think for the all the years that I wasn't really caring about myself I indirectly isolated myself. Don't get me wrong...I like being with people and have no lack of social skills but it was just easier to not go out and do things...
So I just didn't...
Well...now that I kinda don't mind dressing up...(I know that probably sounds vain...and you can believe what you want...) I would like to go out more and do adult kinda things...I am not really a partier..hmmmm I was back in the day...and I think I would like to be social in milder ways...
So I am on the look out for fun things to do...I am thinking I need to assert myself some and get things set up ...which I think would be a good challenge...perhaps join some sort of team....I would like to find some active events...I have found that I am not one to just sit around...
I wonder if there are any running clubs around or perhaps I should really pursue yoga as I have talked about for awhile...
I am really open to anything....ideas?
