Twitter Change

When I started this blog I also started a Twitter account to go long with it.  I wanted one in the same name.  Big mistake! I have my original account and I wasn't sure at the time I wanted to mix my organic world.  I think I might I have forgotten I have five kids and a hubby. I can't keep up with 2 accounts.  So I'm sticking with my original account rw_journey.  Click here if you would like to follow me.  You can leave me a comment on Twitter or here. I will follow back!

 

Plantar Fasciitis- Ouch

After a week of celebration and being on my feet non-stop. I've been on a break for the past three days of not being so much on my feet. I have plantar fasciitis and I was just in pure pain by last Sunday. I'm back to working on eating clean.  All of the celebration eating didn't feel good after awhile. I was watching the show The Doctors. They showed a exercise that is suppose to be effective and you can do it for a few minutes each day. Here is the link.  I was thinking about buying the resistance band. So with   weather permitting I'm back to walking for exercise purpose (not running errands) by Friday! Go me!!

Do you have a favorite exercise tool?

Busy Busy

I'm still walking and I bought two new sneakers to help me on this journey.  I've added cardio but so far  it's only been once or twice a week.  I have so many workout dvds but the one I like right now is Hip Hop Abs from Shaun T. It's a fun dance work out and it's not really difficult. I feel that by the end of summer I'm going to be closer to feeling great from the inside out. I'm thinking about adding walking up stairs as another cardio option. The only thing I wish would improve is my energy level.  I'm going to need it.  I have two birthdays, one prom and graduation all in the same week!!

What's your "pick me up" snack you like to enjoy?

Sugar Ban

In NYC Mayor Bloomberg wanted to pass a soda ban.   Pretty much you wouldn't be able to buy 32oz sugary drink. The law didn't work out.  The talk of the sugar ban brings up the fact that, “60% of adults in New York State are either overweight or obese,” and in the, “U.S. children and adolescents 2 to 19 years of age has tripled over the past two decades.” (New York State Department of Health) The hope is that it will reduce illness and death related to obesity and the expense that goes with it.   Since that  didn't work out, there is now commercials on television on what it means to drink sugar.  I personally think it's more effective than telling someone no you can't have it. I'll let you be the judge.

What do you think? 

Mini Heat Wave

OMGoodness this mini heat wave is just awful. I only trained one day this week. I did do one 30 min cardio. I have to say my knees feel a bit stronger, I can only imagine how good I'm going to feel by August!! I realize now with summer around the corner.  I'm going to have to leave my walking (for exercise) either very early in the morning or late in the evening just when the sun is going down.  Dedication is about making it work no matter what. So I just have to do what I have to do.  Today's exercise is running after a three year old in the park. Another reason to get in shape cause toddler twins energy is much higher than mine. :)  Hopefully I can keep up with Twin A today.
