Exercising...

I'M BACK A YEAR LATER!

I went to the doctor a few weeks ago for an infection on my second to smallest toe. It was moving up my foot so I thought I should probably get on an antibiotic. I went to a walk in clinic and was wearing flip flops due to shoes hurting it to much.

When the Doctor and PA came in to look, they put on gloves and were pointing at my feet as if I was a Leper. Trying to figure out if it had got infected from a spider bite or an ingrown hair. Turned out it was a spider bite. They then went on to tell me I had a bad case of athletes foot. Big Surprise. Not really. I mean I am not the best about wearing my flip flops at the gym. After totaling grossing out both doctors with my black toenails and athletes foot and infected spider bite, the PA came back for the treatment.

He saw that I had moles on my feet and encouraged (scared) me into making a appointment with a dermatologist (which I need to do anyway). He then went on to tell me to see a podiatrist (foot doctor) because my feet were in bad shape.

The PA was an overweight 40 year old whole probably hadn't exercised in years.

He went on to tell me that I needed to wash my running shoes and quit running so often. HAHA. This guys is a joke I thought to myself who washes running shoes, you throw them away and get new ones every 3-4 months why would you risk ruining them in the wash machine prior to that. I tried to explain to him that that was not going to happen. He went on to tell me that I was going to have problems with my feet from exercising. I thought "wow, really, I bet I will have less health problems being fit then you will have being a middle aged fat ass." I know that wasn't the nicest thought but who was he to tell me to not run as much when he probably has never run a day in his life. SO what that I have a few black toenails.

I left feeling pretty lousy, I had an infected foot, athletes foot, beat up feet, possible skin cancer, and horrible feet. Talk about a great way to start a week. I go to the Dermatologist a week from Wednesday for the moles on the bottom of my feet so we will see what happens.

And guess what I have doubled my running millage since I went to the doctor haha.

Fresh Start

So Thursday my boss told me I am probably being laid off on the 15th. I wasn't that surprised really but it does cause a lot of stress. I have spent the time since then updating my resume looking for jobs and building a new website. As soon as I get this site done I will start sending it out. I figure the more people I tell the more people I have that could help me find a new job. The money thing is a little stressful but we were smart when we bought the house and have enough in saving but defiantly causes stress. Not sure what I am wanting to do, I would stay in my field or even be up for making a change I guess it is up in the air right now. I better get back to "work" aka building a website and searching for jobs. Staying faithful in the meantime and trying to keep a positive attitude.

I'm Back

Alright it has been a while, no excuse I guess I could say I have been busy but I could have made time. Just got back from Florida which was a really good time. I read a book on the beach while I was there that my grandma gave me it was called "The Last Lecture" awesome book easy to read I would recommend it to anyone and everyone, may change the way you look at things.



Anyway Kona is getting HUGE...big thanks to Megan and Brad for taking care of her while we were in Florida (big job that pri was)

I'll post a pic or two

It's been a while

Haven't been on here for a while, I don't know why just haven't. Lots of stuff going on kind of I guess. Now that I said that I can't think of anything to write. Kona dog is good she a little bit bigger but still around 20lbs, she has a vet appointment on Saturday morning, where she is supposed to be 35lbs and I am doubting she will gain that in 4 days haha. Maybe we won't have a huge dog after all. I am hoping she will be around 50-60 that would be a good size. Her new thing is going upstairs I guess she is trying to become more independent. She also has developed a yippy little bark that is high pitched and annoying to hear. Other then that she is doing good, still has dry flaky skin but hopefully we will get that taken care of at the vet this week.

Stuff to live without

So at our church we really do not do lent. I thought it would be fun to try and give some stuff up for a while anyway, why not. I decided I eat way to much sugar and candy and drink a pop almost everyday. So no more candy, no more pop, and no more dessert type stuff. Candy will be the most difficult. Lindz and I are both doing it for fun I guess kind of just to see if we can. I think I will feel better when working out if I am eating healthier stuff so that will be a positive, I just lost 8 lbs and am down to 148 a low for like 2 years, but am lifting and doing a lot of core work along with getting back into running biking swimming mode more intensely we will see what happens. This post sucks sorry.

Sledding

Lindz and I and Kona decided to go sledding on Saturday after all the snow on Friday night. We went and put all our ski clothes on and took the dog. I ran and dove onto the sled and hit the snow and just rolled and plopped down haha. We needed some ice or something, maybe a more high tech sled would have done it but the little kids were flying down the high next to us. Oh well it was fun and Kona loved the snow and chasing the sled down the high and chasing us back up...she then slept the rest of the day.
