Week Six Review

So this week actually was pretty good! I worked out 4 times and I actually felt physically better this week than I have the last couple of weeks. However, my diet wasn't so good according to standards, but I ate food that I know would be easy on my stomach, and thus....I was much happier.

I also found that I can do ball exercises when Kate is awake. She thinks it is hilarious to watch me "play" around with a big 'ole ball and will come over to bounce with me every so often. She is so funny. I also got a smaller basketball size exercise ball that she loves to play with. We work out together! :)

I also started taking BIO 35. It is a vitamin supplement that is supposed to help boost your energy levels and lower the chemicals in your body that produce the effects of stress. I have only been taking it for a couple of days now, and they say it takes a good few weeks for it really to start working. But, I tell you what....I would pay any amount of money (well, almost) if this stuff works. I have heard from a few friends that it does, so I look forward to seeing the final product. I will keep you updated.

All in all, I had a good week. I tried extra hard to push myself in ways that I normally wouldn't. Plus, the Utes won so it was an even better week!

I'm glad to hear you had a better week. As far as I'm concerned, I think it is better that you eat to make it easier on your stomach. You can try to make as healthy of choices within that parameter but that is much better than having a flare up that leaves you incapable of doing normal daily activities because of pain and discomfort.

I love that Kate exercises with you. Kaleb does pilates with me when I do them. Mostly he climbs all over me like I am some human jungle gym or hogs my yoga mat, but we are together. Besides, it makes it a much more difficult work out with him climbing all over me. :)

I am anxious to see how this vitamin supplement works for you. If it works, I'm totally getting some. I hope it works.

I'm glad the Utes won for you. And again, I'm am so glad you had a better week. Keep up the good work. And be nice to your stomach so it will be nice to you. :)

Way to go Jen! That is awesome you had a good week. Good job and I'm glad you can find time to workout with Kate too.

Progress comes little by little, and I think this week was a big little (or a little big). The ball in this old woman's favorite way to exercise, so I hope it works for you, too. Have a happy and fun week!
