Hello ladies...I had my acupuncture last night and will continue for another 4 sessions = 5. I am doing a detox as well for 3 days. I pray that I can do this. I am taking care of myself to improve my stress and anxiety from my husband's lay off (and 120 other people).

My detox is no carbs and no meat for 3 days. Fresh fruits and vegetables only whole or in shake form. I also have almond milk.

Please wish me luck and hope I can do all of this.

You can do this!!!! Detox, Detox, Detox!

Hello ladies...I am feeling better day by day. Been mindful of my eating. I have 3 more acupuncture sessions. May 19 I start my classes Fitness and Nutrition, this is towards my Fitness Career Studies Certification. Accountant by day and hopefully senior group fitness instructor. I hope and pray I can continue taking care of Me now.

Wow, I wrote several sentences more above, but apparently adding emoticons causes the rest to be deleted. Oh well, not worth repeating right now,

OMGawsh! What in the world is a black tunnel? I sometimes get so frustrated with trying to get to a "live" spin class. They always seem to be full and I can never get in! I am still a newbie to the world of spinning and self taught myself with the use of an interactive trainer on the fancy new spin bikes in the gym. They have a screen I log into and a virtual trainer take you through the program.

You know what really bites? I realized last week, I cannot do a standing run. *sigh* It fires up the pereformus something fierce! My back hurt SO bad last week. Today it is much better so I am going to stick to 2 endurance spins and 1 interval session this week. OH! On saturday, for some strange reason, I just said bag it! I took off walking and was able to go a full 30 minutes before the pere reared its ugly head of pain. I was so very happy because this is tremendous progress for me.!

I wish I could come up with a challenge idea! My 2 biggest hurdles are 1. tracking every little thing, and I mean everything! and 2. I always force myself to work out on mondays... to me it sets a tone for the week. And I literally have this huge gigantic struggle getting there on Mondays and have every excuse in the book. After I force myself to get there I am always glad I did!

What are you doing with the acupuncture sessions? A friend of mine suggested I try it for my back. I have always been too afraid but always curious. :-)

I heard on the news today, the number 3 job in demand is accounting. Top 3: Business, computer science, accounting. Now if I can just get my son to figure something out!

The last time I was at chiro, he told me it wasn't muscular skeletal for my hip pain... but treatment for Pereformus syndrome has suggested a sports chiropractor and deep muscle tissue massage. I have gone to get massages, but they never get to my lower back. Just shoulders basically. don't get me wrong I still love them! lol I just wish I could find a cure or some kind of treatment that would help with this issue. It is literally making me nuts and I have no idea how long the exercises from therapy are going to take. I mean c'mon. I have never had flat abs or a strong core... and I am not confident at 49 it is going to change.

I do know one chiro that has suggested accupuncture... I think it is time to go back to this guy. He just creeps me out because the man stands over 7' tall! His hands are freaking humongous.... and being 5' tall it gets a little daunting looking at the size of this guy!

Today I must get to the gym because there is NO time tonight!
