QOTD: What is your dream vacation?

I know this isn't really health related, but I'm so sick of cold and can't stop thinking about going some place warm.  I want to wear my short and capris!  I want to take my kids to the park!  I want to be WARM!  So, my dream vacation right now would be taking the family to an 80 degree southern CA to Disneyland, and then spending time at the beach getting a very needed tan.

My Daily Update: My mom came with me to the gym today (she leaves for Portland this afternoon).  I went 2 1/2 miles on the treadmill, did 10 minutes on the bike, then went downstairs and did upper body weights.  Today I just wasn't feeling it.  It was a bad "lung day".  I couldn't get very many deep breaths and felt like I was sucking air most of my workout.  My stomach also felt weird, too.  Don't know why that was happening.  Anyway, not my greatest day, but oh well.  The important thing is I DID it.  I get to do another session with Christine tomorrow and I can't wait!

I've been back at CrossFit for over a week now and I'm feeling it in every part of my body. It's been hard but I love it and can't wait to get back to where I was before I stopped.

Still tracking food and working on getting it in order. That's a big battle of mine.

Oh that's easy! My dream vacation is going to bora bora! That's our retirement trip then Nate is out of the army in 8 years!

I don't know what the heck is going on, but I've tried to comment on the last couple of posts, and then on this one this morning and for some reason it won't let me do it! I'm frustrated because they have all be pretty long comments! Hopefully this one goes though. I guess we'll see....

Ashleigh said...

Well, apparently it went through. I guess to sum up my comments from the last posts:
-I'm jealous that you get to go to the gym and have a free training session. She sounds awesome, so that's great that you're getting some help from her.

-I too am dying for the warmer weather to get here. I want to be able to get out and run down the park path instead of being cooped up on the treadmill (although I'm thankful I have it!!!)

I am really struggling right now because I am dealing with Zoloft withdrawal syndrome from quitting it cold turkey. Not smart, and I knew it wasn't but I didn't feel like it was helping me and so I didn't want to waste the money on getting another bottle to come off of it. The symptoms I have been feeling are like I'm getting the flu or something similar as well as lots of vertigo and insomnia. Needless to say, I'm a-strugglin'. Baleigh is also getting her yucky cough back and staying up all night, so we might have to take her in to get a steroid shot (we've been trying to steer clear of that, but 3 of our friend's kids have had the same thing and after the shot, it finally went away).

Anywho, I'm still in it, it's just a littler hard right now. Hopefully in a few weeks I start feeling better, but either way, I'm trying to get in runs when I can.

Our 10 year anniversary is coming up and I have had dreams of going to Hawaii (where we went on our honeymoon) but I don't think it will happen since Jeremy's parents only are up for watching the kids for a few days. I would definitely go on another Caribbean cruise! And another dream vacation would be spending months in Europe:)
I bet that is frustrating to have bad "lung" days:( I think it is awesome you are sticking with it! A lot of people would have quit using the loss of lung capacity as a crutch- but not you! You are a fighter! (you can still kick my butt in any form of exercise i'm sure:))
My update - Can't get to bed by midnight, I think I have made it twice in 23 days (has it been that long already!?). I want to, I just have way too much to do at night...
My food intake is still bad, keep saying I'm going to get better; i don't know why i can't just stick with it.
I have been following a 5k training schedule (4 wks out of 8 wks) my 5k is in 1 month from today! I ran 2 miles the other day. Today I did 1.8 miles with the little time I had. The last 2 workouts I have been bumping up the speed a little - up to 5.7 today:)
I'm organizing a bunch of girls in my ward to run in the Starlight Run 5k - I think I have recruited about 4 or 5 so far and I'm hoping to get more. It is on June 4th so that will be almost at the end of this challenge.
I want to sign up for more 5ks after that to keep me going so I need to look and see what's out there.
I guess that's it for now:)
Good luck!
