I’m beginning to worry
I’m beginning to worry
Mar 04Thanks for the support everyone. It means a lot.
P90X has been going very well for me. Today is Day 7 where I can either do X-stretch or rest but I’m leaning towards rest. I slept funny and as a result my neck and shoulder are incredibly sore. Maybe my feelings will change later on in the day. We’ll see. My favorite of the workouts that I’ve done so far is Kenpo. I like the punching and kicking. It went by really fast too and didn’t seem like an hour whatsoever. This is the longest I’ve ever stuck with an exercise routine (sad huh?) so if you’re looking for something to try to get into I highly recommend it. I love the variety that it offers.
Otherwise life is well, life. Randy is working more now than ever (Mandatory 12 hour shifts many days and 7 days a week on some weeks) so money is trickling in to pay bills but at a cost to time together and his health. He doesn’t eat very much at all (I’m probably say less than 1000 cals a day, seriously). When he sleeps he will sleep for 11 hours and still be incredibly tired once he gets up. When he does eat it’s usually something that isn’t very nutritious like frozen pizza and he eats chunky soup at work but that’s full of sodium. I’m going to be getting a multivitamin for him to take but I really wish he’d see a doctor too. Maybe his iron his low or something else but I’ve never seen a person sleep as much as he does. I worry about him. In 8 months he’s lost about 4 inches on his waist and he’s already skinny so he doesn’t need to be losing weight (He’s under 160 now and he’s like 5’10″?)
Gracie is the same as usual. Full of attitude already and very vocal. She’ll often go on these 1/2 hour long blabber sessions. She can’t sit up by herself for very long without toppling over and she won’t lie on her tummy so crawling isn’t quite there either. She’s fond of throwing things of course and her hair is growing a bit more. No teeth have broken through yet Of course everything she holds goes in her mouth. She loves to chew my microphone on my headset when she’s on my lap or grab my cell phone and chew that while listening to music on it as well. She gets lots of attention from everyone, except her dad who sees her a maximum of 10 minutes a day. It’s sad. I worry that she’s not going to know who he is but when she does see him she is always full of smiles and cries when he hands her to me because of the short time period. I think he has a week long lay off coming up next month which will be nice for time together (his job pays unemployment for their layoffs).
I want spring. I miss nice weather and I was over snow the first day it fell.




It’s got to be hard to find a nice balance between working to live, and living to work, especially when he doesn’t have much say in how much he works. I hope he’s feeling better soon and that you guys get some family time.
Congrats on sticking to p90x. Did you do measurements before you started? I’m sure your hard work will yield great results. Keep at it!
Sorry to hear about the life/work balance issues, i hope you get family time soon
Good job with the P90x! It is such an inspiration and sort of makes me want to try it. You and Anna really make me very curious about the whole thing.
I hope Randy is alright. That’s a lot of weight to lose in such a short time. Maybe he is stressed because he is working a lot and not seeing Gracie? I hope you get to hang out a lot soon. <3
Excellent! I really want to try the P90X but I dont think I have it in me! lol.. Perhaps reading about your adventures with it will encourage me!
I hope Randy is alright.
