LOL makes me think of that "old" song..."and I ran...I ran so far away" WHO is that anyway? So we went to the gym on Friday as well..got on the treadmill right next to Miguel this time. Felt REALLY good...I wrapped up my ankle this time too. I decided to try to run...and I did! Only for one minute...three different times, but I did it!! YAY!! Wasn't struggling to breathe...wasn't in any kind of pain..it was GOOD! This is the first time I have run since I fell back in November. And it felt good! I was so happy! I wanted to scream out to Miguel who had already left his treadmill "I'm running...I'm running!" LOL Did more arm weights with Miguel when I was done with my cardio. Another good workout day. Oh, and with the dieting I'd been doing all week and the exercising, I lost ONE pound! I know it's only one pound, but it's something! And right now...I'll take it! :)We didn't go Saturday or Sunday, but we did go back last night and this time I did 40 minutes on the treadmill instead of an hour and then I did 5 minutes on this stair machine that KICKED MY BUTT! Seriously! Going up and down stairs is still an issue for me with my ankle, so pushing down to get the step to go down was HARD! But I did it! I have to admit, that I felt a little bit like passing out after though! LOL I'll take the treadmill over that thing any day! Also did arm weights and added in some crunches on the "ab thingy" lol...technical term :) I did 80...two sets of 40...that was a little hard, but I've been doing leg lifts at home so it felt the same..definately "felt the burn". We're going back again today. Don't know about the rest of the week because Miguel has "plans"...a church meeting, then inventory at his job. But we'll go again on Saturday and Sunday. I want to go as much as possible and get our money's worth. Miguel doesn't seem as motivated as me...lol, but then I know he's already tired from waking up early and working all day.
On Saturday, we took Mikey to Fiesta Texas to that new Wiggles World attraction. He loved it! I got lots of cute pics. He wasn't as excited about the show as we thought he was going to be..I think Miguel and I enjoyed it more, but I did get a great pic of him and Miguel at the end of the show with all the characters. That was ALL we did there that day....spent about 3 hours there, but it was HOT! I mean HOOOOOOOOT! Hey, that would be HOOT! lol Walking back to our truck afterwards, I really felt like I was going to pass out! And poor Miguel was carrying Mikey on his back!! I bet he wanted to just drop to the ground! And we were even drinking water like crazy too! Mikey fell asleep on the way home and we got back just in time for us to shower up and get ready for the reunion we were having with classmates we graduated with. We met up at a restaurant called Pericos and they had a table reserved for us outside by the band. It was kind of hot at first. Had I known we'd be sitting outside, I might have picked a different outfit! But as the sun went down, it cooled off some and there was a nice breeze so it wasn't "that bad". It was SO much fun seeing some of our old friends and catching up and reminiscing...it was really, such a nice time! I think there were about 12 of us and then some husbands/wives/ect..We want to plan another one and hopefully this time alot of people who weren't able to make it can join us.
On Sunday, we went over to Miguel's parent's house for a bbq, but I spent the whole time inside because it was just too hot...and it was "that time" for me...I didn't feel like being outside and sweating. I was pretty bored, but I knew Miguel wanted us there...me there, so I was. Right before we were about to leave, Adriana showed up with her mom. I hadn't seen her in a LONG time. So we stayed a bit longer and talked and caught up. Then we came home and that was it. It was a great weekend :) Here's some pics to share....
