Girls at the Gym

Yesterday was just one of those days that was a good busy and a hard busy.  I had another doctor appointment just to follow up with how I was feeling and how the Vitamin D suppliment was affecting me.  I don't have that severe depression and fatigue and I am starting to feel more myself.  I did talk alot about my weight and my exercising and all that I'm doing.  The doctor was so encouraging and told me to just focus on inches lost right now and not to be discouraged about my weight. We'll follow up in August again. I told her that numbers are a big deal for me because of my BMI.  Right now she's very pleased with my blood work, and right now I am losing fat and gaining muscle (that is what everyone is telling me).  She even told me not to weigh myself and just do measurements this summer.  I asked her if she would consider checking my Thyroid to see if I need a low dose of medicine to boost my metabolism.  The blood test showed good results and that my Thyroid was healthy.  So we leave it alone and I keep working at it.  It continues to be about being faithful, steadfast and disciplined.

TOOK THE GIRLS TO THE GYM!

This picture is of me and the girls after our 1 mile run yesterday.  Aren't they beautiful? I invited them to come along so that we could have time together (Its hard being a working mom and struggling to get more time with your kids! ) and so they could see what their momy is up to at the gym. T

First we did our run on the trail. They ran ahead of me because they just have so much more stamina than me.  But it made me work hard to keep up with those little gals. :)  Then we went into the gym so I could do my weight training. They read a book while I was lifting weights with Julia. 

Becca took pics of me lifting.  So I can remember what I first looked like when I first started training. I keep believing I'm going to get BIG results even though right now its just so minimal.

Becca is on my right. She turned 9 in January.  Abby is 11 1/2 years old. She will be 12 in November this year!

I hadn't had a pedicure in 3 months I think. It felt so good to be pampered.  My feet have felt a little sore and tired from my walking/jogging.
