2nd tread time and Dr Phil

[Guest guest]

Hello again,

No more power outages!!! I'm getting back up to speed! My ankles have

been better so I tried going a bit faster today. I have been just

walking at 3.8-4.2 or jogging if you can call it that at 4.3-4.4. Well

yesterday I tried 4.5 and felt ok so today I tried 4.6. I had a bit of

a twinge in my left ankle but not like it was. My chiro told me to keep

icing them even when they feel better after the tread so I'm doing that

right now. So anyway, total I did another 22 min, 1.48 mi (14 earlier).

Did anybody else watch Dr Phil yesterday or today? It was about obese

kids. OMG! It made me soo mad! These mom's were pardon me here but

complete idiots. The one, her boy at 4 yrs old is 150 lbs and she keeps

having medical tests run on him because she thinks it is a syndrome not

yet identified. She says she bribes him but he doesn't take the bribe.

She says she hates to say no to him but he doesn't eat a bad diet. But

but but!!!! The 2nd one her boy was taken away because he was 130 lbs

at 3 yrs old. My girls were 30 lbs at 3 yrs old! In foster care he lost

70 lbs and now she wants him back but shows up to court late. The 3rd

mom says her 12 yr old boy is 260 lbs because it is too expensive to

buy healthier food. Well Phil showed her different there! Good grief!

Where is personal responsibility?! Or parental I mean. They blamed it

on everything but their bad eating habits and lack of exercise. Oh yes,

all these mothers were also very obese.

I mean geez, yes, I am heavy, was morbidly obese at 284 lbs but at

least mine started for a real reason, my thyroid, back, heel spurs and

what not but I am doing something about it now. Cassie actually asked

me the other day why I worry about her eating certain things since

she's not heavy. I said so you wont get heavy and have to deal with

this like I have. I don't want her to go through what I have if there

is anything I can do about it. BTW both girls have always been skinny.

Niki is 5'6 " and 145 lbs but she is in the Army and they work out all

the time so she is all muscle, wears a size 7/8. Cassie is 5'2 (so

far), is 106 and wear a size 5 sometimes 4. god I wish I could be that!

She was commenting today how she has " big " calves, lol. They're all of

10 in maybe! Seriously I am told I am muscular, even when I was thin so

I think she is taking after me, poor thing. LOL she already has bigger

breasts then her big sister but is 4 in shorter. I am 5'3 " and have big

breasts so yep it's a little me! With red hair, lol.

Ok, I'll get off my soap box now. Sorry I haven't posted much today

but my power was out for almost 4 hours and I had to workout,

priorities! You all have a good night.
