10 mile run.. waahoo.. now I know I can do anything
what an odd day.
I gave poor jack too many oranges yesterday so he did not digest it all and it gave him a bad bad bad diaper rash in just a few minutes. His entire leg and bum is so bad. He could not walk did not sit just cried lots during the day. It has gotten better throughout the day cause I let him run around diaperless but still seems so painful. Poor guy.
My plan was to work out 4 hours throughout the day with a goal of 150 push ups.
well I got 3 hours in and 200 push ups. i think that was my personal best. I spread them out doing 20 at a time first set was 40.. So I got that done in no time. I did some circuit training I came up with a while back 4 reps which was tough tough tough. But man it felt good. I have neglected my arms and that is where I need most work. I know I know you cannot spot train but one can dream.
My husband was super impressed as well. Oh and just a side note. 10 mile run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you very much. 3 more miles to go to my next goal. I am so excited I think I can do this. I was a bit shaky at the end for sure.. longest I ever ran and it surely took me a long time one hour and 50 minutes.
Now with all this work out I also ate 2000 calories which was plenty. I am so super proud of myself If I do say so myself. this is what I did the first month almost daily. Well not to this extent but time wise. Why not now? I feel super good, strong and yep hurting. But a good hurt.
okay just had to share that I did almost complete the goal i set for myself. not hour wise but surely intensity wise..
Who would have thought 5 months ago I can do this? Not me. This just shows me if I can push myself like this I should be able to push myself and accomplish what I set my mind too. Now if I could just muster up the courage to call my 3 creditors all would be well in my world. I hate making phone calls like that. and I Have been dragging my feet for 3 weeks now. Oh I also got up at 5 am this morning. What a different world at this time LOL. Loved it but was so ready to nap at 7 am hahah

Wow! Way to go. I keep telling myself I need to get up earlier and I could get more done, but it is so hard when the alarm goes off.
Wow!! That is impressive!! I struggle my way thru two!!Hope Jack is better soon!
I have to agree with Nicole & Kama… WOW! That is so awesome. Good job!
I really admire you! The next time I’m rolling my eyes at 40 minute cardio workout I’ll think of you! (I do enjoy eating simple whole organic good food- the price is exercise!)
Wow! That is awesome! For the rash, put some milk of magnesia on it. I know it sounds wierd, but it really works! It will help with the pain and help it go away.
oh wow yogamom I did not know that. thanks for the tip
great job!

I’m like everyone else–I find that amazing!! Way to go girl!!!! whooohooooooo.
go girl!!! yeah my little girl keeps rashes all the time and i just hate it for her! sometimes they bleed. i had to go to the dr and get him to write a rx for us some kind of paste and it works soo good!!
Awesome!! You rock!
Poor Jack… but letting him go diaperless was such a good thing to do. Have you been putting Desitin on him or anything? Hopefully it will clear up soon. Jason’s latest bout with a rash lasted a week and we couldn’t go on our vacation because we didn’t want him sitting in a diaper in a car all day long. Great job on the run, you are such a powerhouse. Your progress is so impressive. I love reading about all of your successes. Keep it up.
Congreatulations Kerstin, you are awsome!!!
I hope Jack feels better!
WooooHoooo on the run girl!!
Amazing~
Citrus fruits can be touch on babies.
Poor little guy.
5am??????? Ugh…
Sorry about your baby, just let him run around naked for a while. My nephew gets bad diaper rash but the other one never had it at all….
Great job! woo hoo! I think I am only doing 2-3 miles at most…but I lose track of my laps…
