Day 51

Just an update. We had a great vaca with Jack's brother however, their grandfather is not doing so well. Hopefully the docs will get their stuff together and figure out his problem. They kinda seem to not really care that much. :o(

I did just "Ok" last week while on vaca as far as eating right and exercising. As I said in the previous post, I worked out at the fitness center in the hotel, I walked about 1 mile in the country, and then worked out 1 day at the gym when we came home.

Food choices in the country weren't 100% healthy, but I did the best I could. lol

This week is equally hard because I'm working overnight for 4 nights(10 hr each night) so my whole schedule is thrown off. I plan on getting back on the wagon the latter part of the week, when I will actually have time to work out, and not sleep! HA!

Day 42

We stayed at a hotel last night because Jack's brothers first flight left early and he wasn't at the airport, SO he got here around 10:30 last night. So we came down a lil early and got a room so that we wouldn't get to their grandparents house after midnight. If anyone ever needs to stay around the Austin, Tx airport...STAY AT THIS LA QUINTA, it is super nice, and recently renovated!
They have a fitness center, and since we got here around 8:30ish last night, we didn't know what to eat...so we ordered pizza so that Andy could have some too when he got here. I felt like POO all night long for eating the pizza so I woke up around 6 this mornin' and went down to the fitness center. I dunno what the hell is going on with their treadmill, but someone had it up as high as it would go(incline), and it would not go back down, so I suffered through it for about 15 min. then got off and did the recumbant bike for 15 min.! So now I feel a lil better about eating pizza last night. I kinda feel I should have pushed myself harder and gone a lil bit longer, but I still feel good about what I did!
When we get to their grandparents I intend on walking out there, its kinda in the middle of, well, nowhere.....so theres alot of dirt roads and nature, so that'll be cool cuz I can take my camera and maybe get some cool shots!

Day 37

No exercise cuz yet again, I didn't sleep well due to thinking the gas co. guy was going to call any second.
Ok, story time.....Yesterday we went online to pay our gas payment, but there was nothing there, it said inactive, so I called...they said there had been changes to the account that day, but she didn't see that we owed anything so she had to put me on hold(for a long time) to talk to her supervisor.....so she comes back and says it was THEIR mistake that our gas was cut off, and they would put in for a technician to come out AND that it could be anytime during the night. So, I didn't sleep well thinking they could be coming at any time and I'd have to get up and take care of it. We WILL be working out tomorrow though....I Promise!!
