Searching out the new me

So - it has been a while since I have written in here, and please do not think that I have not been wanting to. I have thought about it, only to have fallen asleep each night before accomplishing what I want to.

Saturday and Sunday I went to Jazzercise and worked out like a crazy person.  It was very fun seeing how the different instructors teach very different classes.  I am enjoying going, and if I go one more time this week, then I can go purchase a new pair of work out pants for myself.  I really have to reward myself for doing well - as this is very difficult for me.  Things are tight money wise right now - so I might not buy pants and call my new shoes my gift to me.  I need to get some new work out shoes, and there is a New Balance store by my house.  I am going to go and check out what they have.

So - on my way to health, I have been thinking about what else I can do to create a healthy place for me, and a good place for me to be healthy.  I moved the treadmill into the living room so I can walk on it during tv shows, and rearranged the living room and the dining room to give me something different in there.  

I am also under a new insurance with my husband.  He has AMAZING insurance, and it covers so many different things.  I went for the first time to a Chiropractor yesterday.  I was nervous, and didn't know what it was going to be like.  He sat and listened to everything that was bothering and hurting me, and was very nice about it.  He also talked to me about exercises and nutrition, and how we were going to work together to make some of the pain go away - and I may even have days that my back no longer hurts - but that we would do the best that we can.  So great!  Before I left, he did an adjustment (cracked my back around) and asked me for my food journal.  I just have to get it from my Dr.  Not a big deal.

I also went to a podiatrist.  I am such an old lady. HA!  I went because I wanted them to at least look at my feet and do some xrays.  About 10 years ago a fractured a bone in my foot, and every time I walk around on it with new shoes on, it feels like I have re fractured it again for a few days.  SO.... he xrayed, it is fine, and then also fit me for some Orthodics.  I am glad to be getting them, but will also be ordering some from the Chiropractor as well because his are made differently.  I know they are expensive, but I am lucky enough to have my new insurance that covers up to 10k of them each year.... YAY!
