Changing meds

Well, I have been in the process of changing my depression meds to different ones that are safer for pregnancy in the hopes that we will be able to expand our family in the near future.  The new meds are not as good as my old ones were, and I'm having a hard time adjusting.  In reality I am doing really well, but I am also heavily compensating my new meds with chocolate/junk food.  It works, I hate that it works because I'm gaining weight.  I am trying really hard to learn to compensate with exercise instead, but it is hard.  So I just keep trying. I have also not heard anything from Zigo and I have to say that I am frustrated and annoyed at the company right now.  The president/CEO is great, but the guy he handed me off to has never initiated an e-mail or phone call.  I only hear from him after I send him a few e-mails or call him.  He was supposed to call/e-mail me once he fixed up a demo Zigo leader 2X so I could buy it, but I haven't heard a thing.  So for now I'm letting go of my Zigo dreams.  I can't handle chasing down that dream while my head is still not quite right.  No matter what happens, I still want to participate in a tri sprint next year.  There is a nice one really close to my house that will be in July and has a pool swim instead of an open water swim.  I don't mind the open water swim but many of them require wet suits, and well, that is one thing I just don't want to deal with!  So wish me luck and keep me in your prayers that I can get things under control once again:)

Day 1 Again

Alrighty, I'm back on track.  I woke up earlier than I have in the past few weeks and rode my bike for a half hour.  I burned 350 calories too:)  YAY!  So I'm back in the saddle again:)  Wish me luck!

I've been off and on the bike.  I am trying to find some sort of routine, but it is eluding me. I'm not giving up though.

Try 2 Day 1

Well I did 30 minutes on my stationary bike at levels 4 and 5 resistance.  I started to sweat so I know I was working:)  I'm determined to not let myself go two days in a row without exercising.  I hear that two days off is all it takes to break a good habit, and I can say that it seems true enough for me.  My husband's sister is getting married next summer, and I really want to be healthy by the time we go.  It's in Washington DC and hopefully not only will I be healthy, but I hope we have our Zigo so we can use it to explore DC.  Anyway, it's the start of a new life:)

The new bike!

No I don't have the Zigo Leader yet, but I did get a new semi-recumbent bike:)  We got rid of the love seat that is in front of the TV and there is now an awesome bike!  I LOVE IT!  I can watch TV and pedal away!  I'll give more details about it soon, but I just had to share how happy I am!

I have no idea what day it is.  I know that I walked a lot on Monday and then didn't yesterday and today.  I hope to get back into the swing of things.  We get our stationary semi recumbent bike that we replaced the love seat in our living room with.  I'm pretty excited, as I usually take a break and watch tv at night, now I can pedal and burn some calories while relaxing:)

I think I'll start my day count over again next week. I'll do my best this week, but I'm really going to make myself stick with it starting next Monday.
