Arrevanthas's Journal, 10 July 2015

I have decided to restart my diet. I am now heavier than when I first started and feeling a bit discouraged. I know I have my big trip coming up but I am going to try my best to keep on track. In other news, I also have a BIG move coming up. I am moving to Idaho which will take place on the 5th of August, a day before my birthday. My oldest sister is coming down from where she lives to help me. I am pretty excited though nervous as well. This is a big move and a big change but I think it is for the best.

Me and the girls will be so happy to be not only on our own but it's a fresh start. Kaitlin, my oldest, is nervous about starting a new school but at least she will be starting in the beginning of the year as opposed to starting after everyone already started. Regardless though, she is really excited. I know she is going to miss her cousins and everyone that she grew up around but she is doing her best to embrace it. She is slow at adapting but resilient so I am not going to push her. I openly talk to her about how yeah, I am going to be sad to leave everyone too but it's a new chapter in our lives and it's not like we won't see family on the holidays. :)

I think we all will do a lot of changing for the better and I can finally start implementing how I want to eat instead of having others there to influence, over-rule or just disregard it. So there is that that is going on. On the 4th of August, I go in for a hemoglobin test. Kind of nervous about it honestly. This will either confirm or rule out this mild blood disorder called Thelessemia. In a way, if I do have it, things will make a lot of sense that had occurred in me health wise. I just hope that IF I do have it, I have the mild one that oral medication will correct.

So...that is all on my end. These last few days, though I haven't been doing the T25, I have been busy packing and moving stuff so I have been getting my exercising in. I have also replaced my UP band with a Garmin Vivofit 2. So far, I am enjoying the Vivofit and don't have anything bad to say really about it. The one thing I like about it as opposed to the UP band is that I just sync it to my phone and it's all done. With the UP band, I had to plug it into my phone and do it that way. Also, the Vivofit seems to track my sleep better. The UP band at times would take itself out of the sleep mode and yeah. Kind of bizarre but yeah. The downside of the Vivofit, it has a battery life whereas the UP band, you just plugged it into it's charger. So that might be a pain, I don't know yet lol!

Well...off to try and get my T25 workouts in along with finishing the packing and moving. :)

Daily Summary
*Focus T25: Ab Intervals and Speed 1.0. I just jumped right in. It's was a little hard but I managed to push through. I am pretty proud that I was able to still do it despite having several days off thanks to shin splints. I always feel so much better in the day when I workout. :)

Plank: 70 second plank...this was extremely difficult to complete and I had to put my knees down a couple of times. I am not going to beat myself up over it but just gives me more motivation to try harder.

Yoga: This did not take place last night. I ended up passing out without realizing that that was what was happening.

Wishing you and your family a smooth move and transition. Starting over can be THE BEST thing, and I pray it will be for you. Good for you for being strong enough to make such a big change. Wishing you a good outcome for your medical test as well.

Arre - may I suggest "dumping" the "diet" until after your move? Just eat mindfully and keep yourself in the positive frame of mind that you are in for your move. You are doing great. There's no need to add extra pressure on yourself. You can add the food intake to your load of responsibilities the second week of August - maybe the day AFTER your birthday - what a GREAT day to start over??!!- new year, new home, new town, new YOU! Go easy on yourself x
