Feel Better Challenge

(cycle 1, day 32)

On Tuesday, I got an email from Sport Chek with a 'Feel Better Challenge' that lasts 10 days. I figured, why not? I've been trying to lose some weight recently after my month long binge on candy (I have a massively bad sweet tooth. Thank you dad and grandpa!) and 6lbs heavier.... I've been doing the challenges, but also modifying them to fit into my schedule. I haven't noticed any differences yet, but I've also started drinking more water again, so it could be water weight and soon I'll start loosing the weight ;)
Day 1 was to dance for 30 mins until I've worked up a sweat. Well since I was at my moms doing a load of laundry (we no longer have a useable washer or dryer until the furnace room is done) so I used the treadmill for the 30 mins.
Day 2 had you walking forward for 10 houses, then backward for 10 houses. I took HayHay to the dog park and walked a bit alternating the direction every 30-60 seconds. That's actually a really good workout! Except for the fact that my feet and legs got a bit sore after what would be 60 houses in town, I just decided to walk forward for the rest of our walk.
Day 3 (today) is to jump up the stairs. Seems easy enough. And I can even squeeze it in between 'The Office' and 'Private Practice', lol. All I have to do, is jump up a flight of stairs (they recommend 20, but I only have 14 in a row), walk back down and repeat 4 times. So since I have fewer stairs, I'll just do it 6 times to make up for it.
I'll keep updating with all the different activites :)


Onto another topic, pregnancy... This is going to be kind of TMI, so fair warning....
Today, I thought I was going to start my period since there was a bit of bright red blood when I wiped. Well I put on a pad just incase it was in fact starting today, but nothing has happened since then. Implantation blood maybe??? It seems to be in the right time frame of when I would get it if I did ovulate and in conjunction of when we BD'd (baby danced) to fertilize an egg if there was one.... Now I just don't know what to think, lol. I don't have any other symptoms, except this morning I find I have to pee more, but that could be from the water I'm drinking every day, but it is more than the last few days that I have been drinking water. I don't have the back pain that I usually get when AF is coming, I usually get that at least an hour before I start. And I have been napping more lately... But for now, until I know for sure that it's AF, I'm going to keep counting as though I'm still on the first cycle.
