I finally went to back to the Y yesterday and did my run. I only did 15 minutes of running and it felt good. I walked for 30 more minutes. I didn't feel like running anymore, just wanted to walk and keep moving. But while I was running and walking on the treadmill, this girl next to me was very annoying. She kept getting on the treadmill, walk for 5 minutes, get off, get on another machine for 5 minutes, then back to the treadmill next to me for 5 minutes, get off, another machine for 5 minutes, then back to the treadmill for another 5 minutes. Arrgghh! Make up your mind! I don't know if this girl is making excuses for herself to not exercise or she has some serious anxiety being in the gym. I certainly won't be running next to her again.
I also noticed something different at the Y yesterday. The usual runners and in shape people are not around. There's a whole bunch of new people that seems to be starting out this month of June. I wonder if the in shape people took a vacation or something?
My friend who had a hysterectomy few months ago told me she is feeling much better and pain free now. She's playing tennis to try to lose the weight she gained. It's good to see her active and in good spirited again.
Yesterday, my husband was supposed to be home at 5:15pm but he didn't land in Orlando until 11:51pm.
At first he was delayed because of the stormy weather in South Florida and the Bahamas area. He has to fly thru that area from Puerto Rico to Orlando.
He finally left around 6:30pm and it's a 3 hour flight from Puerto Rico to Orlando. I assumed he would arrive 9:30pm. I was watching Dancing with the Stars on DVR when I finally looked at my pager and realized it was 15 mins after 10pm. I thought how odd my husband hasn't arrived yet to Orlando. So I check on the computer to find out the status of his flight. Spirit Airline stated that his flight arrived to Orlando at 8pm. I was like what?? That's impossible! He couldn't get there in an hour and half and not paged me. I'm the one who has to go and pick him up at the airport.
I checked out the Orlando Airport website and it also stated that the flight arrived at 8pm. Now I started to get really worried and felt something wasn't right. I imed my friend and asked her if she could call the airline for me and I imed the company in Puerto Rico where my husband was working and asked them if they heard from my husband. No one has heard from him since he has taken off.
So the PR company and my friend are both on the phone with the Spirit. Spirit kept telling them that the flight was redirected to St. Thomas and they're not sure what's going on etc. I thought how odd they would fly to St. Thomas when it's south of Puerto Rico. My friend was getting frustrated with the airline not knowing where the flight is or what's going on. How could you not know where your flight is especially when it flies over the ocean?
Finally, the Spirit website decided to update their flight status that they will land at 11:51pm. My husband signed on AIM exactly 11:51pm and he immediately told me how upset he is. I thought he was upset for being in the air for so long. Next thing I know he's telling me that someone died on the airplane. After 20 minutes being in the air, a 42 years old disabled woman had a seizure and heart attack. They turned back to land at Dominic Republic to find a doctor to help this woman. This woman was also mentally retarded in a wheelchair with a mentally of a 2 years old. She was strapped in the chair with socks over her hands and shaking uncontrollably when my husband board the plane and walked pass her. He thought she didn't look well enough to fly. He believed she was dead before they landed in Dominic Republic. DR doctors didn't have enough skills and knowledge to be able to save this woman. So he saw them carrying a body bag to the ambulance.
There were 4 family members with her and 2 stayed in DR and 2 came back on the plane to go to Orlando. My husband thought it was strange that they didn't seem upset by the event. I don't know what that was all about but it was quite upsetting for him and Spirit airline didn't even offer any apologies or refunds for such a long delay. They knew what was going on but they didn't tell us anything. I understand that they did that to avoid any panic around people but I was upset that they lied on the flight status webpage that he arrived already. They could simply stated that it's still in the air. I wouldn't ever fly this airline.
I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply to your comments or comments on your blog but I will soon when things settled back down after that crazy night. But I'm doing well and I'm not binging or gaining. Just staying the same. It seems like now that summer is here, I'm more offline than online which I believe it supposed to be that way. I noticed several of you have blog less as well. It's okay, we'll all be back soon.
I hope everyone have a good day and talk to you soon!
Sorry I've been quiet for the past few days. Sometimes there are days when I just like to be in my own world and have some alone time. I have many things in my mind that I want to accomplish today like organizing some papers that are piling up on top of the filing cabinets. I hate the sight of them and I want to get them done. That alone takes a lot of time.
I haven't been working out like I should, but I'm not worried because my husband is returning tomorrow and everything will be back to routine. I've just been trying to clean and orgainze my apartment before he gets back. I don't know why but it's easier for me to clean when he is not around.
After church on Sunday, I found out a deaf couple from Miami moved to Orlando and their car broked down. They needed a ride to drop off the u haul truck and to the food store on Monday monring. So I've been trying to help them settled down a bit.
I have been in the mood to do some things for myself and cleaning. Then I would be in the mood to hang out with some friends. I could have gone to the Y yesterday afternoon but I just had no interest in going. I guess it's hard when your husband is not home by dinnertime to have someone to talk to and you start missing him.
My eating is fine. I got that totally under control. Just the exercise part was thrown out of the window. Hubby is coming home tomorrow which I can't wait and then back to routine for the month of June.
There haven't been any rain yet and it's just windy and humid. Oh man, the humidity outside is awful! It's like you're walking thru the veil of moisture in the air. Staying inside today.
I dropped my husband off at the airport today and just hanging around waiting for Barry to show up. Not much else. I'm not going to workout today or tomorrow, but Monday I will be at the Y running as usual.
So our first day in June here in Florida and it's already cloudy and rainy. Ugh! Forecasters predicts 9 major hurricanes this year and they believe there is a 50% chance of Florida getting hit with a major hurricane this year. The long-term average is 30% chance. Not good. But we got lucky last year, thanks to El Nino! Come back El Nino, come back! Ah well, life goes on.
Remember I was telling you yesterday about being lightheaded? Well it turned out I had allergies. I never had allergies like that before. There were pressures and itching in my ear which I hate and my balance felt totally off. I kept walking sideways like I'm drunk or something. Thank goodness I didn't hit into a wall or anything like that.
I posted some pictures to my old friends on Facebook.com, which is the same pictures I posted here and I got a lot nice comments from friends saying how thin I looked. I was quite surprised because I didn't know 15 lbs makes a big difference for people to noticed. But it sure felt nice and flattering to hear from other people.
My husband is flying to Puerto Rico this weekend for a business trip. So this may be a good weekend for me to go to the Y. I never go to the Y on the weekend, but it's something I could try. If not, we'll go swimming in the pool if it's not raining.
I hope everyone have a great weekend and enjoy your Friday!
I noticed ACV has helped my skin, sleep better, decrease appettite, and more energy especially with running. I was taking it 3X a day with 2 TBSP of ACV with apple juice. I believe I will cut it down to 1X a day since my lack of water intake. I've been on it for a week so far and it has helped me in some ways. Not sure if it will work for everyone but doesn't hurt to try. I am using the grocery brand even though they recommend the organic one with the "Mother", but I haven't had the time to go to Whole Foods to pick one up. I may try the organic one. I read someone took some of the "Mother" from the organic bottle and put it in the grocery store bottle. The "Mother" will grow in the store brand one. They do this to save money. I may try that as well too. Just thought to share with you.
I got on the treadmill yesterday and it was a hard start for me. I started to run and man, my shin splints were burning like crazy. That's what happens when you stop running for a long period of time. After 20 minutes of running and walking, all of a sudden, I felt this surge of energy from nowhere and I could run 5 minutes straight without stopping. Then I walked a bit and then ran again for 5 more minutes 2 more times! I did 23 minutes of running while I walk/run for over an hour. I've never done that much before. It felt soooo good and I definitely got that runner's high. I just wanted to run and run and run and never stop. I really missed that feeling from running. I did 4 miles which is a record for me because I barely go pass 3 miles. That was one good workout for me.
I could have gone to the Y today but I woke up feeling lightheaded and dizzy. I think I may be a bit dehydrated because I was outside all afternoon at the playground with my daughter. It was really hot and I was sweating like crazy. I forgot I was also sweating from running in the morning. So I am trying to increase my water intake today and take it easy.
I'm gonna go post some pictures now before I forget again and then check on all of you. Have a great day!
I had a great time in Sarasota and the ocean was beautiful! Very blue/green color with white sands. I felt like I was truly in paradise. My daughter Alyssa loved it. My husband, unfortunately, had a hard time with the sun. The medinication made him very sensitive to the sun, so we agreed to go to the beach early in the morning or late in the evening after dinner.
My eating was much better on this trip. I was careful to eat healthy food and avoid any dairy food. I made a big mistake eating so much diary food in Texas. I had ice cream every night and too much pizzas. That gave me a major breakout my face and I wasn't happy about it. I haven't had a breakout in a long time since exercising helps keep my skin clear. Now there was no exercising except for walking around alot, but it's not enough to clean out all the toxic in my body like running and elliptical machine.
I'm having a hard time getting back in my routine with exercising. I just don't feel like doing it but I know I have to in order to continue losing weight. It's easy to stick to exercise when you're not out of town or your rountine is thrown out of the door.
My weight stayed the same and I didn't gain at all during the trip. I was thrilled to see that. I also have been drinking Apple Cider Vinegar to help clear my face which is helping but I also noticed my TOM ended quickly and I feel more energy drinking this stuff. It said it wil help with weight loss too, but I will see about that.
I got a lot of reading to catch up on all of you. Hope everyone have a great Tuesday! I can't believe it's June this Friday!
I'm really excited to go to Sarasota this weekend. I love the beaches down there and the shopping. We plan to take a lot of pictures with our new camera we bought before we left for TX last week. That reminds me that I need to post some new pictures on here.
I told my husband last night how frustrated I am getting with my weight. I feel like everyone is losing but me. It has been just the same the whole month of May. I know I haven't exercise since I left for TX but I thought that 2 weeks of exercise with weights and elliptical machine and some running would get me back to 139 from April. I would only get to 140.0 and then back up. Then it goes down and then up. Arrggghhh! I'm trying my hardest not to say what the heck, forget it. I'm trying to keep going and I have my eyes on the month of June and that will be my month to get into the 130's and stay there!
Anyways, sorry for my rambling and I hope everyone have a skinny Memorial day weekend.
