Day 2

SO yesterday was an awesome day. I shared it with Eilee and her Grammy Cheryl. We went to a birthday lunch and had Eilee's hair cut, and pictures done for her 8th birthday. We also went to see the heart doctor for a follow up on her heart.  All looks good, and no problems for her. We made a day of it since we live 40 minutes away from the doctor!
I enjoyed the workout yesterday, but my right hamstring didn't.  It was so sore, I could hardly lift my right leg into my van at the end of the day. I have been icing it and taking motrin. I am determined to do my workout today, even at a lower impact!  I will not stop this exercise goal!  I am going to accomplish it.  I felt good yesterday and made good eating choices.  Feeling a bit tired today. Today I have a mammogram appointment and an appointment with my skin doctor in Maryland to make sure I have no skin cancer on me!  Hoping both tests are good.

Ok Part two of today. Skin Doctor took a mole off to be tested. She didnt' see too worried about it just wanted to make sure I didn't have a cancerous mole on my back.  I was less sore this afternoon, and did some shopping for Eilee's birthday party. I ate at cafe rio..(a yummy place that I used to eat at in Utah)  LOVE IT  I had a salad!  YUM!  I did eat the flour tortilla....not a great choice.  But I feel much better, and am eating healhtier the more I exercise. I am feeling more like I did in Utah when I was doing kick boxing and eating right. When I was my thinnest.. I am so excited to do this workout for the next 88 days.
 I have a lot ot do with Eilee's party and baptism coming up. A very exciting time in an 8 year old life. I can hardly believe she is 8. Time seems to have flown.  It really makes me want to have more kids soon, or they will grow up without a big sister, as Eilee will be off to college!  LOL.
 My youngest of my older brothers graduated high school when I started kindergarten.  I felt like an only child. I was spoiled, and I think my brothers resent me for it. I was also the only girl.  It wasn't my fault I came along when I did. My parents were more well off than when my brothers were little.They let me do more than my brothers.  They helped me to do a lot of cool things. I was a very blessed little girl, and I miss my parents dearly. I miss their love and support and encouragement and advice. They were two of the awesomest people I know!
I did keep praying when it was tough today, even when I was exercising and it hurt to get up and down off hte floor. I kept going. slowly and after about 15 minutes, it didnt' hurt so much and I was able to get up and down easier. I kept praying and I believe God helped me.
So I researched feug shui and pregnancy/fertility.  There are some things you can do to bring good feelings to your home, to invite babies into your life. I figure, I can use all the good vibes I can.  It suggetst nothing in your entryway so you can invite new babies into your home. Clean and organize your home and have a space for the new little one.  It suggested green sheets. I actaully got some (we needed new ones anyway) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the green it is a happy color for me to see on my bed and they are very pretty.. If it brings good health vibes, all  the better  LOL.  I also read that the male needs to have a dragon..a smaller one on his night stand. I found a dragon I bourght online, for Herb..LOL but it was actually bigger than I thought it woudl be when It arrived....LOL  and lastly, today I was the the christmas Tree store and I finally saw some white elephants...they were really cheap, and I read that if you put them outside the door to your bedroom, it bring good pregnancy karma!  LOL  so we shall see.. a little Valentines day present for me!  If anything, having things around your house that symbolize stuff is a good thing.  Things tha tbring good thoughts.  I am not sure I am 100% conviced tha tfeug shui will do a lot...for fertility. but hey it is worth a try.. There are some funny things it said to do...like pet hte elephants when you walk by them.. I told Herb that and we laughed so hard.. WE ARE NOT PETTING ANY ELEPHANTS!  that is so silly!
