iluvgeddy05 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 QUOTE (ForceTen @ Jul 21 2010, 02:37 PM) QUOTE (iluvgeddy05 @ Jul 21 2010, 11:13 AM) I guess just life related? I trained for a 1/2 marathon last summer/fall and consistently worked to get there. The Bod was amazing (for me at least haha!). Now, I've changed jobs and have a longer commute so less time to run/workout after I get home. Plus, I'm getting married in November and my hubby-to-be and I are building a house (log home), which as of recent, I've been painting after I get home every night. So pretty much, not a whole lot of time to fit in exercise like I used to.. I have tried getting up and running before work but I already get up at 5:15 as it is, so that means getting up at 4:45am to run That sounds like a lot of excuses but I really am trying to fit working out in without being overloaded! Been there, and it sucks to say the least. I left one job for another last fall thinking it'd be a great opportunity. Was I wrong! Longer commute, less time to train. Crappy hours, VERY HIGH levels of stress. In 5 months, I regained 25 of the 35 pounds I lost over the previous summer. I had an opportunity to go back to my old job and I took it in a heart beat. Now, I'm back to training and I've lost all but 5 of those pounds I regained (still have a ways to go before I'm where I want to be). But, life is so much better now that I'm able to train (I have a sprint triathlon this Sunday, a half iron this fall and then three weeks after that, a full marathon). Just start with what you can in terms of exercise. After dinner, go out for a 15 minute job or walk and invite the fiance along. Don't stress about it, just take some time and help unwind. IMO, physical stress is the best cure for mental stress. Congrats on the future wedding and may it be the beginning of your "Happily Ever After". Thanks, Force. I know next year when we're not planning a wedding and building a house, I'll be back to where I was in terms of having time to fit in exercise w/o rushing it (well, I hope). I actually am thinking about training for a marathon next year, though the thought is daunting enough! I've worked my way up to a half marathon (did two of them). I've really only put on about 5 lbs but...I'm a 5'3 female so for me, that's enough to make the clothes feel snugger. And I feel squishier than last summer in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens next year when say, you're expecting a child, another job change, family issues, etc.? Are you going to push off for another year? No time like the present to start doing 15 minutes a couple of times a week so that when you do want to start being serious it's not as big of a jump as starting over from a dead stop. Okay, okay. I'll shut up now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh joy, still more medical expenses for inhalers for the rest of my life...... My oldest was just diagnosed with reactive airway disease which I was told was what they call asthma in toddlers. We also have to do the inhaler thing. I feel for you. I've never known anyone with asthma. It's pretty scary to witness someone who can't breathe! I was wondering why I've had trouble getting my breath some times this week.....turns out I only have 70% lung capacity, and the other 30% has to be stimulated. Also explains why I've had bronchitis (repeatedly) and pneumonia (just once, but it took me out for 2 weeks) over the past several years. I take it then you have to use the inhaler daily? Aedan just has to take it when his breathing gets really difficult (when he has a cold or his allergies act up). He has to use this mask/tube contraption and he HATES it! I literally have to hold him down while I pump the inhaler. It's awful. Still, it's a good thing you have the inhaler now and can breathe easier. I bet you notice a huge change. For the next month, I am under instructions from my doctor to take 2 puffs of Symbicort in the morning, and 2 in the evening. When I see him again, I will have thought of more questions to ask him. In fact, in talking with you and nettiesaur in this thread, I have thought of a few. And yes nettiesaur, the copays do make it less expensive, so I should be thankful for that. Still......I'm not made of money. Perhaps I should just drop my weight and that would solve a lot of problems, but that is not NEARLY as simple as it seems, especially given my age.

GhostGirl Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Not pissed, really...just a tinge of sadness. Kerry decided to start packing away his Legos...his room looks so different now. On the plus side, we could probably add on to the house using the 3 gazillion bricks... Also, I registered him for 7th grade today. When I first got into all this internet/Rush stuff, he was only 6.

ForceTen Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Argh!! They put me in the wrong group for my triathlon yesterday! I came in 35th out of 57 people yesterday. If they would have put me in the Clydesdale group (men over 200 lbs), I would have ranked 16th out of 32. The time itself wouldn't have mattered and I'm not really hung up on placement as I'm only competing against myself (I beat last year's time by seven and a half minutes). But, it's the fact that they didn't put a friend of mine and I in the group we selected... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 People who flame me at other message boards just to get a rise or a response out of me. I don't even care what they have to say anymore. About 80% of the time I don't even read direct replies. I never think that people will respond positively. And I never check ANY of the replies I get at Youtube anymore because it's a terrible unmoderated website that's infested with trolls. I noticed a lot of people are now disabling comments to the videos they upload. I don't blame them. Some people are just miserable & unhappy with their lives & they have to take it out on other people they don't even know who've never done them any wrong.
