A weighted blanket

 I got and tried a weighted blanket.  

                 Here is how it turned out.  I posted and asked who had one and what their thoughts were.  All but 1 said to get a lighter one then what is suggested.  That is what I did I got a lighter one.  I used it each night to see how my sleep would be.  I did notice it helped me sleep and get more deep sleep most nights.  Its now been over a year and I still use it.  Yes it is warm and the room needs to be cold to sleep, but I have always needed it cold to sleep so it does not change.  It has truly helped me so much.  I highly suggest it to any one thinking of getting.  I did not get an expensive one.  I also did not get a cover which is something I suggest you get.  I figured it goes in my room and no one sees it so what the big deal about a cover but it is something really smart to get.  

Time to VENT.

So much going on.  Issues with my dad's job.  Then all these tornado's.  Many in NASCAR effected by them.  A Nationwide driver lost his home thankful that all are ok.  Poor kids.  Then today is Dale Earnhardt Sr. b-day.R.I.P.   Then today "Ox" who was a FMXer died.  Today is just very sad.  I can normally just write abut all this but today I am finding it hard.    Today is a sad day and a stressful one.  I know God has a plan and I am thankful for that.  I must trust in Him.  ok I don't know what else to say.  I know I have not posted about my 5k journey but lest's face it at the moment it has not happened.  I did get running shoes.  I need a vacation.

What a weekend.

Ok I am still hear.  I finally got a good pair of running shoes:)   This weekend has brought death to the for front.  My friends grandma died then a friends dad and they a friends friend.  I have not ran in like forever.  Between I had not had my shoes yet and then rain.  I MUST get back out there.  I have been having issues with my knees but may have figured out the problem.  My running shoes should help it.  About a week ago my right knee started hurting when I sit a certian way so ya.  Orignally when I got my running shoes I was going to use them for only running but it is looking as though I will have to wear them all the time.  Ok I am going to go.  I have goals for this blog and my youtube ch.  Hope all are doing well.  I really need to keep this updated.

Wednesday Oct. 13,2010. W1D2

Well my plan has been to run in early after noon.  That did not work today.  Did not go out until 6:30 or 7pm.  It was getting dark out.  By the time I finished it was like fully dark.  I found my brisk walk was not that brisk.  How ever my running/ jogging was better.  Was using my whole foot not the ball of my foot.  I had to stop during a few runs due to cars.  I still completed a mile in the time.  I know I am working up to 3.1miles and to run the entire time.  This is why I love the saying slow and steady wins the race.  I pushed my last run to make up for when I had to stop.  I know I could have done better but I also know it could have been worse.  I am pleased that I went even tho I was not feeling the best and it was later than I ever wanted to go out.  Hope you enjoy your day.

Monday October 11,2010 Week 1 Day 1

 Today I started couch to 5k.   I am very pleased, went over a mile. I did all the intervols good and did not need my inhaler.  I will finish the program this year but my first 5k will be next.  I am out to show/prove to all that I will finish what I have started.  I am doing M,W and F.  And Tu. and Th. will be rest days.  I will try to walk on those days.  Saturday and Sunday are I will most likely not walk but will do something on the wii.  I am so proud.  Next update should be on Wednesday or so.  Thanks all for reading.

Still here.

Wow it has been forever since my last post. I am sorry I keep putting it off. Well I was able to go to 2 sled hockey games at The Sports Center at MCC. The games were amazing. They had not picked the team for Vancouver yet so it was special. The games were amazing I took pics and videos of them. I am very pleased to say that the USA came home with the Olympic Gold. Our goalie did an amazing job and never let a single shot passed him. Japan came in second and I forget who got 3rd. I can tell you one thing Canada has learned as they were beaten by the 3rd place team and did not medal. It was very shocking for them being they were in their home country and not getting a podium. I went to take my GED test and missed it by 60 points. I am working hard so when I go to take what I missed I will then pass. It is very late so I am heading to bed. Amazing things are happening. Night to all.

Here we go

So my sis went to Toranto. She went to visit a friend and go to a craft fair. Well there were talks about us going to brunch on Monday. Well my sis came back today (Sunday) and called to inform us that she would be at the house soon. So my mom made my dad's dinner then we figured out what we wanted. Then next thing you know she was here. She talked to my dad about going to breakfast. He then said to me that he does not really want to go. I do have class but being my sis is here it changes alot. And before she went to Toranto she said that she wanted to go as a family which would not happen if I went to school. I don't want her picking me up from class. I don't think we can get along with out our parents there. I told my dad and he was like go to class that is normally what happens. Well lets hope my dad does not get mad cause I am not going. I should be reading. I know I am ranting and raving but I need to get it out. I do love her tons. We just don't get along. I am having a good day. Hoping y'all are having one.
