So, I'm really stinking at keeping this updated and keeping up with the few link ups that I've found and enjoy. I thought about doing my pinterest one last Wednesday, sat down to look around the website, and felt completely uninspired. Then, Friday, I don't know what happened. I've been in that funk and haven't felt like doing much of anything I usually enjoy so much. On the bright side, I did finally make an appointment with my doc, so I should hopefully get my moods sorted out soon.
BUT, it's Monday, and I'm suddenly feeling inspired again! So, once again, I'm linking up with the doll Kate from Classy Living for another episode of GBU (good, bad, ugly) for a little weekend recap! Let's see if I can remember much from my weekend...
The Good ~
I just started a new workout regime - 8 weeks of training to build up to walking a 5k. Yeah, I know it doesn't sound very impressive... but folks, I haven't done much cardio since high school/beginning of college when I was last in colorguard. I was never a runner. Never. So, when I was trying to start up the C25K, I about killed myself and almost lost all interest and belief that I would ever do a 5k. My husband found a training site with walks and showed it to me. This is what it looks like. I'm not doing it exactly like it says, since Tuesdays and Thursdays are days I work. So, we tweaked it a bit so that I'm doing my short & easy walks on Mondays and Wednesdays, then Friday is my longer distance walk & Saturday is my LONG walk. I started Friday with an easy 15 min walk & then went to a park nearby for Kenzie to play while my MIL and I did 1 1/2 mile walk. Yesterday (Sunday), I went for an hour. By myself. No music. Just me, God and His beautiful world. It was heaven! But anyway, before I babble on forever and ever, I'm now on track for my tweaked training. Did 15 min again with my MIL and will take a rest day tomorrow. I feel good, if not a bit sore. :-) i'mgonnaloseweighti'mgonnaloseweight and be HEALTHY!
The Bad ~
We missed church (again) yesterday. I was so mad at myself! My sister-in-law sent me a book to try out and I was hooked. So, I got up at 7 with Mackenzie and started a movie for her while I woke up. I ended up finishing my book and looked at my phone & it was 8. Church starts at 9 where we are visiting trying to find a new church home. I still needed a shower & Mackenzie needed her bath. UGH. **note to self: either bathe Kenzie in the evening or get off your lazy butt and start getting ready at 7. ***another note to self: pace yourself while reading... the apartment looks like a war zone because it has been so neglected while I was captured by the book. :-P
The Ugly ~
My whole moods thing is so ugly. About that doctor appointment I finally made? Yeah, she can't get me in until October 1st. I'm staring at the calendar trying to wish away those days to make it come faster. I just want to be happy. And I know, I have the power to be happy or be sad or be really ugly & angry. :-) But having dealt with this nasty depression crap since '96, I know when it's time to get a new med and try something new. So, here's hoping some new meds & possibly finding something I love doing (or starting nail tech school part time [more on that later]) will bring about a new & happier me. & getting in shape. That'd be loverly, as well. :-)
It's Monday. I never work on Mondays - so they are usually decent days. Like, this morning, Kenzie and I watched some good, ol' Phineas & Ferb and I read some more on my kindle. We just had lunch (bagel bites) and now Kenzie is down for her nap. Ah, peace & quiet.
So, I'm linking up today, for the first time, with Kate at Classy Living for GBU (the good, the bad & the ugly). I recently found Kate through a different link up and just had to "follow" her. She seems like an absolute doll! & she's a fellow sister in Christ. :-)
Anywho, this post is all about the past weekend. So, here goes!
The Good ~
I got some free tickets to the Kansas City area Renaissance Festival through an old friend from high school. My mom and I went Sunday afternoon as part of our annual tradition of "mom n meg" time. It was great! Got a delicious turkey leg while we watched our favorite show of "Bob the Incredible Juggler" - seriously, we see his show ever. year. Also included in my "have to eat every trip to the renfest" was my favorite chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick! Then, my mom and I went for matchy-matchy and got a wrap you tie around your waist that jingles when you walk. Snazzy! (mine is purple, mom's is brown.)
The Bad ~
Well, the reasons to this "bad" aren't necessarily bad, but nonetheless... We went to a carnival at my parent's new church Saturday. It was completely free - free hot dogs, nachos, bottled water/sodas, cotton candy - everything was free. No catch. I guess they started it as a thank you to the community for allowing this humongous church in the middle of the neighborhood. Anyway, that's not the bad part - just have to set it up. The carnival was incredible - tons of blow ups and jump houses and rides and ponies and, and, and - but it was smack-dab in the middle of nap time! Kenzie took a tiny catnap on the way there... like, fell asleep about 5 minutes away from my parent's house where we were picking up my mom. So, needless to say, she was very pleasant to be around the rest of the day. :-)
The Ugly ~
I have been extremely hormonal lately - that, combined with needing to see my doctor to switch up my anti-depressants does not equal a pretty picture. I have had several "freak-out" moments this weekend. I've been angry for silly reasons or no reason at all that I can figure out. So, pretty much, I've been an ugly broad this weekend. :-(
Well, I think that's about it... hope you all have a great rest of your Monday!
xoxo
