Inclines are like kryptonite

Day 14-- After a long weekend of activity and very little sleep I am still recovering. I am trying, I really am. I worked out for about 40m today on the Wii Fit, that did include a bit of jogging. After climbing that hill yesterday morning I am still struggling. That hill was like my kyptonite, it drained all energy from my body. My knee is still not the same today. I found it difficult to climb a few steps. My Wii even told me my balance on my left leg was unstable. When your Nintendo is telling you that you are not the same then it must be true. I didn't want to take a complete day off, I just hit the end of 2 weeks since I started. I just worked a little harder today on the Wii than I had been. No games today, all I did was yoga and strengthening, oh and a bit of jogging. I figured that if I keep doing something than I will not give up.

I am finding it difficult when I am the only one in my family who is concerned with healthy habits. This is probably why I never exercise and we eat unhealthy, well I don't not all the time. If you have ever been to a New Mexico Blake's Lotaburger then you know can see how you can easily fall off the healthy horse. Now I don't like hamburgers, but a Lotaburger with Green Chili and cheese is something I could eat everyday of the week. In my family, it is steaks and bacon. I don't really like bacon either. I think I am a misfit in my immediate and extended families. I can remember as a teenager I would go through fazes where I would be a vegetarian. I could do that for months, but the only problem is that I do not eat seafood. It grosses me out. Actually, I think the problem may lie in my childhood, we had many pets which included fish and a pet cow. I still don't know why we were allowed to name a cow when he was going to be dinner when he grew up. When I said we had many pets, I really did mean many. We had cats, dogs, a turtle, a bunny, many fish, a cow and baby chicks and ducks. So as an adult I don't see chicken as dinner I still think of it as a pet, same as beef and fish. Goodness talk about needing some therapy. Now back to the problem at hand, I am an odd eater because of my many issues with food. If I could only find some sort of median between likes, dislikes, and food allergies I think I would be okay. I know if I want to become a runner I am going to have to step up the protein, but that is where the problem lies. I think with me it is actually not overeating, but under eating and not getting enough positive energy. I think my body just takes what I feed it and stores it for the winter, and this PCOS doesn't help one bit.

Maybe I should title this blog "cows and hills = kryptonite"
