Trying to Change
Today I slept all day again. I'm trying to change that. I want to go back to volunteering so I have something to do during the day. I slept until about 1pm when I was up at 10 and felt fine. I did go for my walk today.. I did 0.8 miles in 21 minutes (about 30 minutes a mile) so that's slow for me. I really wasn't feeling it today though. I started out good, and then my motivation pooped on me. I wanted to go to my normal 1.2 mile mark, but I just didn't have it in me. I also was bad and didn't wear my hydration belt with my water. It's just so nice to have a break while walking and have some cold water. It's hot here... I think the high today was 86. Something hot. It did get cloudy near the end of my walk, but other than that it was full sun. I got home and I was overheated. I don't think I was close to heat stroke, but it just makes me think that I can't go without my water again. I don't sweat that much so I don't need Gatorade.
I'm hungry now but Geo is sleeping. He wants to be the one cooking now. We have this whole array of meat to choose from now. It's crazy... going from chicken (breast or thigh) every night to having all these chicken parts, pork chops and ribs, and ground beef. We found a meat market close to the apartment that sells family packs of assorted meat at really good prices. The store looks a bit ghetto, but the meat is good and doesn't make me sick. When we lived with his mom, the meat from the market there got me sick. So at least it's better than that.
I got my train tickets to see my mom last night. $108. Her husband, Tracy, is giving me $50 to offset the cost. I'm going to be gone from the 16th to the 25th. I will have internet access, so I'm going to be able to go online and keep up with you guys. I know my mom is going to love it!

In the Florida heat plus humidity be sure to take the water!
I envy Geo cooking...anytime someone wants to cook at my house I will step aside in a quick minute!
It is nice to have a trip to look forward too. Enjoy!
Volunteering, walking, visiting with family - these are all great ways to stay healthy. Enjoy yourself!
WTG on the walking if you havnt been doing it regularly then its good to slowly get back into it not all at once.... you did great! Youll work your way back up to where you were in no time.
Wowww how exciting you going to visit your mom.... i know you always have a great time when you go visit family! Thats nice of Tracy to help offset the cost of going to visit that helps.
As for the diet .... we have been eating alot more chicken than beef at home because the cost of beef has gotten so outrageous where i live.... but i understand about wanting something other than just one kind of meat after awhile.

proud of you, you have made 3 big steps. it is good to go slow at first exercising, as I don\'t think you have been up to it, and water is essential. I cant stand walking here when it gets hot, I don\'t know how you do it. you are doing great!
IT\'S IMPORTANT IN THAT HEAT TO TAKE YOUR WATER. I DIDN\'T\' KNOW GEO COULD COOK . HOW NICE THAT YOU NOW HAVE A VARIETY. ENJOY.
IT\'S GREAT THAT YOU ARE GETTING BACK TO WALKING.
