Winning

     Yesterday was a good day. Caleb woke me up around 0800, and although I was still tired, I got up. I decided to have a diet Mountain Dew while I waited for my coffee. I drank my coffee with the collagen that my Mom sent me, and took 4 Ketone pills that I am supposed to take 15 minutes prior to a meal. I decided to walk for 10 minutes on the incline trainer. I had Caleb remove the stuff off the incline trainer for me, and plug it in. The warm up is 3 minutes long, and then I walked a timed 10 minutes at 2mph at 0% incline while listening to music. It did not hurt. I was not going too fast. I could breathe. I finished my 10 minutes after the warm up, and then quit. I ate my breakfast which was leftover baked omelet and then took my morning medications and supplements. After letting my pills settle, I began to clean up the kitchen. I began to pre-wash the dishes and load them to the dishwasher. I began to then hand wash the other dishes and load the dish strainer until there was no room to put any more dishes. I waited for Caleb to dry and put away the dishes in the dish strainer so I could continue. I took a break. I was listening to music the entire time. I listened to Godsmack, Jane's Addiction, Jay Z, Katy Perry, and A Perfect Circle, but I also listened to the radio because my portable speaker's battery died and needed recharging. 

    I washed another round of dishes for Caleb to put away. When I was done with that load, I took a break. I decided to go out and get Caleb the pizza he wanted from the grocery store. We stopped at Dollar General on the way to Food Lion and bought Bella's Benadryl there. From there, we went to Amsterdam Life to see if they had replacement coils for my e-cigarette. After we left there, we went to Food Lion. I bought Bella vegetables to add to her dinner, like the vet said. I bought Dona Sharon a California roll from the sushi aisle. We left there with 4 reusable grocery bags full. 

    When we got home, I didn't feel like washing any more dishes. I was supposed to have made a crockpot dinner, but never got that far. I bought frozen dinners for Caleb and Dona Sharon to have. I wanted to walk again on the incline trainer. I walked 20 timed minutes after the 3 minute warm up. 15 minutes were at a 3% incline at 2mph. The other 5 minutes were at a 0% incline at 2 mph. I walked passed the point of hyperventilation and broke into a sweat and stable breathing. That means I totalled 30 minutes of timed walking on the incline trainer!

    I cooled down and cooled off before going to take a shower.

    I could not believe that I was able to exercise, grocery shop, wash dishes, and take a shower all in the same day! It was fantastic!

    I was tired by the end of the day. I text messaged Juan throughout the entire day and he never took the time to message me back. I need to break away from him. I miss my dad is what it is. I am drawn to Juan because we both have lost our fathers, both have diabetes and are overweight, and both are parents of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder. When we first met, I could flirt with him and make him laugh. Now that is not really the case.

    Today is Sunday. It is only 0341 right now. I am tired, so I am going back to sleep. I am going to try to take it easy today after trying to do so much yesterday and all of last week. Man! That was a busy week! I will be glad when all this house remodeling is done, and the inspection is done too. 

    Have a blessed day, and thank you for reading!
