I haven’t done much in the last month or two. Part of it is contentment. I won’t say I “plateaued” since the truth is I just been staying at the same weight. Well, I did gain like 3 lbs (I range between 120-127 recently, so I round to about 125, which is where it is most times) but that’s nothing too drastic. 

I’m so close to getting to a healthier body! So after my back heals up I need to:

• Do Nike Training Club 3 times a week
• Run/walk/jog 2-3 Times a week (5K training for Color Run in September!)
• Yoga 3+ times a week

I found out PrAna down the street from me (a yoga/active clothing store) does free yoga! and has a beginners class! yay! So I want to try to attend those more. I want to be strong, and flexible. I hope this will also help my back from being so sore.

So this June I’m gonna kick my own butt. These are such easy things to do. It’ll take 1 hour or less (in theory) every day, I should be able to do it! Wish me luck. 

So last week my back started to get tense, and yesterday it started to actually hurt. Today it is in enough pain that I’m not very mobile. So for the first time for my back pain I got to go to a doctor! For Free!

See I’ve never had insurance before, so this was a chance for me to actually go to a doctor. It was just a “doctor express” (like urgent care) kind of place, but I got prescribed some muscle relaxers to help. I hope they help. Once my step mom moves to the new insurance I’m gonna find a physical therapist to try to help me to prevent. I may see a chiropractor, but I’m pretty sure it’s a muscle thing not bones, and I also hope to do more stretches and strengthen my back than have to visit someone every few months. 

Also thanks to Fred Meyers I only had to pay $4 for my prescrition!

So last night while my friend Sam was over, I made some meatball subs for dinner. Even though my hubs is the chef (and working 12 hours days anywho) I am always the ones that makes the meatballs..not sure why, haha. 

As I was making them, I was telling Sam about how we use turkey meat instead of ground beef. However, I forgot some spinach I was gonna chop up and mix in…

Then as I’m putting them in the oven she goes: “Oh, you bake them?” I always seems to forget how many people fry meatballs. It actually made me kinda proud of myself for baking them, and keeping them even a bit more healthy.

It’s funny even when I think I’m falling behind, and eating bad, I have to realize compared to many kids my age…I am doing DAMN good! Caleb and I constantly try to tell ourselves that to keep on track. Holla.
