I didn’t eat well on Monday and I felt the effects almost immediately. Let me tell you what I have been eating and then I can explain what I did wrong yesterday. The last couple weeks I have been having a smoothie for breakfast and a smoothie for lunch and then whatever the hell I … Continue reading Treadmill Day and Why I Love Smoothies

Scootin’ Time

September 9, 2019November 6, 2019 ~ Rey Wright ~ Leave a comment

I went out and scooted on that scooter again! We had so much fun! The rain that was promised never came. The sky was dark and the clouds looked menacing but we were able to get outside anyway and managed to stay dry. We went up and down the alley behind the house. I think … Continue reading Scootin’ Time

Treadmill Day

September 8, 2019November 6, 2019 ~ Rey Wright ~ Leave a comment

I had a good day on the treadmill yesterday. I pushed even harder than before. I am getting my stride back. It feels really good. I ran steady without slowing down for 55 minutes this time, with only a five minute warm up and five minute cool down. Today I will be spending the day … Continue reading Treadmill Day

#$@&%*! SHOES!

September 6, 2019November 6, 2019 ~ Rey Wright ~ Leave a comment

IT WAS THE SHOES! All this time it was my shoes that were hurting my back while I ran! My mom had suggested just such a possibility a few weeks ago, but I didn’t think to test that theory until yesterday. And wouldn’t you know it? I was fine! Running was a breeze! This entire … Continue reading #$@&%*! SHOES!

Swimming Euphoria

September 5, 2019November 6, 2019 ~ Rey Wright ~ Leave a comment

I swam yesterday. Afterwards I sat in the hot tub and stretched out my tight muscles. When I got out I felt absolutely amazing. It was like I was floating above the ground as I walked to my car. My entire body was humming and my skin glowed. It was wonderful. I couldn’t tell you … Continue reading Swimming Euphoria

Biking at the GYM

September 3, 2019November 6, 2019 ~ Rey Wright ~ Leave a comment

I went to the gym yesterday and worked out on the bike. I set the machine on a “fat burning” preset work out for 60 minutes. I didn’t want to set it for 75 minutes because I wasn’t sure how hard it was going to be and I didn’t want to set myself up for … Continue reading Biking at the GYM

9/1/19 Swimming with Depression

September 1, 2019November 6, 2019 ~ Rey Wright ~ Leave a comment

Something strange and unexpected happened yesterday. Swimming didn’t make me feel good. It didn’t make me feel any better at all. In the morning I dropped the boys off at their dad’s, then I went and got my oil changed, I went through a car wash, and then as reward I went to my favorite … Continue reading 9/1/19 Swimming with Depression

8/30/19 Swimming

August 30, 2019November 6, 2019 ~ Rey Wright ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday I went to the gym early in the morning. It was pretty nice at first. There was practically no one there! By the time I left though, classes had begun to trickle in and I was happy it was time for me to get out of the water. I went the entire 75 minutes, … Continue reading 8/30/19 Swimming

8/29/19 Walking

August 29, 2019November 6, 2019 ~ Rey Wright ~ Leave a comment

I walked yesterday. I was sore all day. My anxiety was pretty high all day as well. The walk didn’t really help. I never got into cardio, not once! When I started walking I planned to go for 75 minutes but I didn’t last that long. My muscles were cramping up, especially my legs. With … Continue reading 8/29/19 Walking

8/28/19 Swimming (with a partner)

August 28, 2019November 6, 2019 ~ Rey Wright ~ Leave a comment

I went swimming yesterday. The boys are back with their dad so I went to the pool solo. I went mid-day. I checked the outside pool first and it had a couple open lanes so I snagged one quick. I had been swimming for about thirty minutes when someone asked to join my lane (the … Continue reading 8/28/19 Swimming (with a partner)
