Diet and Exercise

Ok well I finally am posting the first one about my new diet and exercise routine. I don't really want to take extremes right now as we are still "trying" so I have just changed my eating habits and added a bit more exercise to my routine.

So this past weekend Justin and I went out and got mountain bikes. Plus a child carrier for the back on mine for Blayne to ride in. Well Saturday I took Kylee (a little girl who's staying with us for a few weeks with her dad who works with Justin) and we went down on the Katy Trail. I knew I wasn't in good shape with my asthma and all to go far but I figured I'd try it out and see how far I could get. So we started out down the street to the trail. Then we got on the trail and headed towards Calhoun..... We got probably 1 1/2 miles down the trail and I had to stop.....I rested for a few mins to catch my breath b/c I forgot my inhaler. Well Kylee then asked if we could head back home b/c she was hot and tired as well. So we got back on our bikes and headed back towards Windsor....We got back to the opening where we started and I stopped. My legs felt like spaghetti lol....so I hopped off and walked the bike up the street to the house. I walked in the house and flopped on the couch. Boy that was the first time I had been on a bike since before Blayne was born.

Needless to say, I definitely was ready for more later on. I got up the nerve adn we all went biking down the trail on Monday night after the boys got home from work. It was a nice ride we actually went farther than we did on Saturday this time. I was feeling better than the first time. Still I had no inhaler so I had to be careful and make sure not to push myself too hard too fast. So we went probably 2- 2 1/2 miles that night. Kylee wanted to head back tho b/c it was getting dark and she was a little scared. So that night my legs still were burning (which was a good thing for exercising) but they didn't feel like the spaghetti they did before so I was more anxious to continue doing this as a daily routine. Well on Tuesday we ended up going again but this time we took the trail towards Sedalia..... We got about 2 miles down and it was just a beautiful ride but my legs definitely were burning and asthma was acting up again. So we rested and then headed back home. Yesterday I took the day off to kinda give my body time to get used to it. We are trying to go for a 30 minute bike ride everyday and also Justin is letting me get an elliptical machine pretty soon too. So I will be biking at least 30 mins everyday after dinner on weekdays and then sometime on weekends depending on weather. So I'm hoping with my new eating habits and the bike rides for now adn then addition to the elliptical when I get one will help me lose the weight I would like to so that way I don't need to turn to diet supplements or anything else. Plus I'm hoping with all this exercising my body will go back to letting me have regular cycles and help me get pregnant without fertility drugs or anything like that.

I will keep you posted as the weeks go by. ****however I still have yet to get a scale so I won't know anything til I get a scale if I actually lose weight**** (except if my clothes fit looser and such)
