Well all week long I have been sick. It started with a sore throat and then progressed from there. The worst part of the whole thing, is not being able to walk on my treadmill. I have a runny nose and a cough that can leave me feeling week, and a sore throat....so walking is out of the question. At first I thought "oh maybe I need a little break"....and now I can't wait to feel better again. I usually at least 6 days a week try to walk 4 miles a day, and I just started to jog a little bit. So I'm thinking now when I go back to it, I may have to start all over and build back up to it. I've really enjoyed having my treadmill, and have been really motivated these past months! You may be wondering what keeps me motivated....well even if you aren't wondering...I'm going to tell you anyways!!
The reasons I have become so motivated, is mostly because I want to have a baby in maybe a year or two....and i want to go into it with a healthy lifestyle, and I figure it'll be easier to get pregnant if I'm real healthy by eating right and all that. Also, the best way to combat depression is with natural endorphins by exercising, and obviously I cannot be on those pills when I get pregnant, and I don't want to have to be on them afterwards as well. So a baby is a big motivator for me! I also want to make my husband proud of me, and the work I'm putting in to to reach this goal! Also I want my parents to be proud too, and maybe inspire them to make their own goals....cuz I want them to be around as long as possible, and be able to see my babies grow up!!
Actually my Dad did something that made me really proud! He was working and had some time to spare and went on a 45 minute hike! He took pictures of the view to prove it too!!
I've been running in the hopes that it'll help me sleep... So far only slight improvement, but I know it's good for me anyways, haha.
