So this week I decided that Zumba was just not enough for me 3x's per week to assist with the weight issue.
This week I've decided to drop my caloric intake to 1200 calories per day and I am walking 3 miles, 4 times per week. That's right! 12 miles this week!
My knees are stiff today but while I am walking I feel great!
Isaiah has walked 9 of those miles with me and I am greatful for him keeping me company. You would think that my girls would jump at the chance of being able to "exercise" with their mom but....we all know that will never happen!
That is just too much for me to ask! Whatever! That is a completely different BLOG in itself!
Started the sulfur salazine this week. Taking one 500mg in the morning and one at night! then next week 1000mg in the am and 500mg at night. then the following week I get to have 1000mg in the morning and 1000mg at night. Whoo-hoo!
Party over here!
It makes me very queezy but I get through it! Still sticking to the 1200 calories per day!
Thank you Lean Cuisine for making this very easy for me!
Well tonight is Zumba so I will not be walking and tomorrow morning is also Zumba so if you would like to come and hang out I will be there!
Until next time, keep praying for me and I will pray for you!
God bless!

About Me Continued...
I'm that lady that has so much education that I'm still not done. You know, I have a Master's Degree in Special Education, a Master's Degree in Educational Administration and I'm getting my Doctorate's in Educational Leadership. You know the one that people always ask, "how do you manage with all those kids and working and going to school?" and I always reply, "God is good and He gave me a great husband."I'm the one who quit smoking, on December 31st, 2005. You know me, I'm the one who has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease last year called: Rheumatoid Arthritis. Remember? It's me, the one who asks that you keep praying that God gives me the strength to make it through each and everyday. The one who asks that you pray for my husband and my children that are going through this disease with me. It's me, the one who knows that life is too short and trying to live each and every moment the best way I can. I hope that as I write these words, I can answer who I am. From the words of someone who has already lost their battle with an autoimmune disease, "I believe that, as a culture, we shy away from anything surrounding death and, consequently, deprive ourselves of all the lessons inherent in the dying and grieving process. We ignore the reality that death is as much a part of life as birth." I hope that my posts cover the gamut of human emotions because, as a Puerto Rican, I have always had a "rich" emotional life. While many posts are sad just as many are comical. This is not my version of "The Last Lecture." It is my heart, my thoughts, my joys, and my fears as they unfold along this journey. My hope is that you will find some of it useful on your own life's journey. I hope that sharing my experiences will help not only those struggling with life threatening illnesses, debilitating diseases but also to those who are blessed with their health as well. God Bless you and no matter what happens on this journey, know that I will always keep you in my heart and in my prayers.
