Tired of being tired

I've been totally off kilter with my mom's problems lately that I've really neglected myself. It's been 8 weeks since my step-dad left and 6 weeks since she found her lump. BTW, she is having surgery tomorrow. Lumpectomy with radiation to follow if all goes right.

I haven't put any real effort in working out or dieting. So, I'm ready to get back with it.

I went back to the Y yesterday and did 25 minutes on the recumbent bike and 20 minutes on the elliptical. My diet was good but too many "liquid" calories. I don't do that very often though. And I did shake my booty. I didn't dress up for halloween but it was great seeing all the others. I love to people watch.

Today, started out slow. Thank god for the extra hour this morning. Spent all morning rehydrating and trying to get rid of a headache. Went out walking thinking that I wanted to walk for at least an hour. Well, it felt so good that I changed my mind to "let's see how far I can get in an hour". So, after weeks of not walking or running at all, I jogged a good bit of my "walk". I just took it telephone pole by telephone pole. Ended up doing 3.7 miles in an hour. That's an average of 16:16. The last .7 miles were the slowest with only a few slow jogging stints and my walking was gettting slower.
