New Week

OK I had my week of getting back to it with walking, today starts jogging, Meg is on her way over and we are going jogging. Then we may talk the men into going for a walk tonight! Or a roller blade! Scratch that I forgot it's Monday and that is golf with my mom. Meg and I did a slow jog but did it in good time and we will start jogging faster for one set (right now one minute of a set) until we can increase, very slowly, our speed. Will jog again tomorrow, Wednesday weights, Thursday and Friday back to jogging. Will do 2-3 weeks like this then increase the distance.

Sue and Dave are Coming

Our friends are coming for a visit! Sue and Dave Price are bringing their neice and nephew home and have decided to stop in for a visit! Keep watching for the dates they will be in Esterhazy and feel free to come over for a beer!

Tuesday Done!

We did up Tuesday right too! Meg, Dakota and I! Went 3km right now we are speed walking just until next week when we will start back with the minutes walking and minutes jogging. Got take baby steps to get back into it. No I haven't been out of it that long, but to prevent an injury I will take it slow and steady. Tomorrow is weight day, where I work out with weights, I will try to talk Ernie into walking with me in the evening, but he has been quite busy with his new job so will have to see.

Monday Morning, Up like a Lark!

Just up waiting for Meg to come jogging! Dakota is right here waiting also! Ya!!!! Back at it!

Tomorrow I start back

No more excuses, we are more or less moved in, just doing some renovations now. The renos should be complete by August 21, that is when the flooring goes in, then just pop a toilet back in place and done! Have to paint and sub floor up to that date then we are stopping on the inside for a bit and will start work on a fence. But anyway back to jogging I have developed a plan for running, Monday -2km, Tuesday 5km, Wednesday weights, Thursday 2km and Friday 5km. As I go I will increase the 2's to 3 and the 5's to 7, always increasing as I go to a point where the 2's are 5s and the 7's are 10s, then once or twice a month I will do a long run of 15-20km. Need to get back into it slowly as it has been 3 weeks since I last jogged. I still walk some of it and I probably always will but I will decrease walking time and continue to increase jogging time. Here I feel I can go out on my own if no one is available to go with me.

Slowly Settling In

Well we are here, ripping off wall paper and cleaning. We are making some changes before Ernie has to go to work on Thursday. Will be making lots of changes before we're done, but will start slowly to be sure we are making the right ones. For those that have seen the house, come again it looks very different already. When Ernie returns to work I will begin transplanting flowers, there are some nice flower beds they just need some work (Dave and Sue where are you, you'd love this part). No garden for veggies as it is quiet shady but will put in the horse shoe pit and see what else we have room for. Well better go and get cracking this work doesn't do itself! Jogging starts next week with Megan and Ernie! Yes, and Dakota!

Almost Moving

We are getting ready to move, so everything else has taken a back seat for this week. The only good thing is I am running around and lifting enough to get in a lot of exercise. Yes we are do it yourselfers when it comes to moving! Crazy but Ernie likes it that way. Ryan and Ernie do most of the heavy lifting I am the box lady and pack and unpack lady, seems to work for us. I stay out of their way while they are lifting and it all seems to go smooth! Didn't do so well eating on the weekend but not to worried I am back in the saddle today and back watching extra close, can't afford a bad weigh in!

I will be down (internet) from July 10-15, but will have an entry ready for the 15th for you, see you then.

Had some sad news, my friend Sue, (the one who is in a lot of the comments) her dad passed away. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Sue, Dave and family.

Family Reunion Time

I will have to be really good this weekend as it is Ernie's family reunion. I will go with the intent of doing some walking and I will really watch my points! I can do it, I know I can. Too bad beer wasn't 0 points then I could really do it! LOL Looking forward to seeing all the family. Thanks to Debbie, Michelle and Bernie for the planning.

I had a good weigh in so I will use that as inspiration!

July 2, 2008

Ok we are back from Esterhazy and now getting ready to move there! We bought a house and take possession on July 11, yes I know it's only 9 days from now! I am trying to get going with the packing, well what Ernie hasn't done already, the house is almost empty! Jogging is a bit on the back burner at the moment but I am still getting in 1 or 2 a week, once the move is complete I will go to 4 or 5 a week.

I was in Esterhazy to help out with the grandkids as my daughter's shop was moving and she and her husband were tied up with that. They (Meg and Charissa) bought a building, renovated and have now moved in and opened up for business again! Ryan was even there building muscles by helping with the move. Ernie couldn't be left out so he came down and did some moving for the day. All in all good weekend but tiring for everyone!
