I just could not go to the gym. I hurt that bad yesterday. I’m doing better today but will probably not go again just to make sure I am fully better before getting back to it.
So since I couldn’t get up to go, I decided to watch my calories VERY carefully. Here is my food yesterday. Not completely the best choices but I did stay within range. And yes, I drank some calories. Let me tell you though that I used to drink 6 sodas a day so I’ve already cut that in half. Go me!
I still had to move stuff for my mom and I cooked dinner (although I didn’t eat it – I got in bed with some soup). I did have to go up and down stairs a bunch too. I was also asleep by 9:30pm which is not like me plus I took a nap! I’m not feeling good at all. At least I’m not sick!!!
Today will probably be about the same. I was supposed to have the CPA guy come today and decided I better not try to sit up that long. Keeping my spine straight is hard enough when laying down!
I still have to walk my poor little Amber. I took my son to school and since it’s raining, I will probably have to pick him up too.
As I reread what I’ve written, it sounds like excuses to me even though I know the pain I feel is real. I will get back at it, I am watching my calories because I don’t want to gain anything back. I’ve worked my ass off to get where I am and I refuse to go backwards!
I started thinking about this About Me part of my blog. I'm going to expand it just a little from the 3 words I had before.
I am a single mom. I love my son. We have been alone since he was 6 months old. He really is my sun, moon, and stars. I am very proud of him.
I am an entrepreneur. I started my driving business 2 years ago. I don't want to work for a "boss" ever again. I always tell people they can do it too. In what I do, there is no competition because there are plenty of people that need rides (and maybe that would help get some of these bad drivers off the roads!). I work hard and have fun on my own time doing what I like to do.
I really am a Netflix addict. When I am not working or doing something with my son, I am watching Netflix. There are so many shows that I've never re-watched anything either. I will watch anything and make my own opinion.
I am opinionated. This blog is really just my opinions and my life. People don't have to agree with me all the time. I welcome discussions and other people's opinion whether they agree or not. I'm not petty, I'm not going to block anyone for not sharing my opinion, why do people freak out these days when someone doesn't share their opinion? Who cares?!? There is a reason we all are different.
There's a lot more about me but you'll have to read the blog to find out!

Aww Julie please don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s important to get your back better first and when you do go back have a word with the trainer as s/he may be able to help in some way. Take care ❤
Only when you’re not working out! Yep, love my iPhone with the Health app! I have it connected to myfitnesspal, the Apple Watch, and FITIV for exercise. 😀
I’m proud of you my friend you always do what you can and I know you have been working very hard but let your body chill and you will be back good as new. The Cool thing is you have been eating good so there won’t be any weight gain I’m sure. I had no idea mountain dew had 170 calories? I’m not a soda drinker coffee is my thing and I know you don’t do coffee right?

Thank you. I will do that. Not sure what he can do but I will try. I’m just tired of being heavy and not being able to do what I need to do.

Take care and heal first before you hit the gym again. Your body needs to catch up. It takes time.

I always wondered where you got those “steps” statistics from! Turns out I too have them on my iphone!
So I analysed the months that I had this phone. I carry my phone where I go, so it must be pretty accurate.
Embarrassing too! I move too little!!

I didn’t know one Babybell had that many calories. That seems a lot for the small size.

90 for the regular ones and I think 70 for the “light” ones

True, I do not drink coffee. Soda has a lot of calories for sure! Oh after last night there might be. Lol, going out with the couple is fun!
