Bladder physical therapy

I have started bladder physical therapy. I thought my doctor was kidding when he suggested it but it is real! LOL! I have since learned that I have a pelvic floor muscle that I can control. I have been taught exercises and they are no kegal exercises. What I've learned:

Your pelvic floor is only as thick as about 5 sheets of toilet paper. Over time is wears down and gets thinner. All your important organs are supported by this wall.

Your can control your pelvic muscles and it isn't hard to do but it does take a lot of focus.

Most people think that they are using their pelvic muscles but their abs are actually helping and that is actually not good.

Not interesting to many people but it was to me. Anyone who needs to know how to control their bladder should too! ;)

3 Ingredient Banana Ice Cream

I read a couple articles about making homemade banana ice cream. It is a not bad but I still need to experiment with different ingredients!

Ingredients:
2 bananas
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
1 Tablespoon Chocolate Syrup

Slice the bananas and freeze them for about 2-3 hours. Put all the bananas in the blender and mix. Add the other ingredients and blend. Your done! Serve immediately or put in freezer to harden the ice cream.

I am think that strawberries would be good.

Still Working Hard

Well we have had some serious changes in our lives recently. Cameron was in an accident at the end of January and we have decided to become a one car family. I will be going back to being a full time stay at home mom and I am super excited about that. I miss my little man, I miss the things we used to be able to do and the bonding time we had. We are saving a TON of money and with the money from the accident we were able to pay off my truck!! We are very happy with out decision even though it will require some sacrifices. We can finally start to send extra money to credit cards and have money to spend if we want something. I can breathe when it come time to pay bills and we will be able to save money as well.

I am currently in physical therapy for my bladder. I am going to do a whole post on that and explain all the things that I learned!

I have made a new friend (finally!!!) and so has Jackson! I joined the YMCA and I LOVE it. I didn't think I would but I have really enjoyed going. I drop Jackson off at school and go and work out for about an hour and half then get an hour and a half to surf the net on my iPad or sit in the hot tub. It is total momma selfish time and I LOVE it. My new friend is also a coastie wife and our boys go to the same preschool and she works out at the Y! She is teaching me some basics on strength training and I am really enjoying it. Me and one of my sister in laws are doing a challenge with our food accountability. We have decided that if we can stay on track for 3 weeks without going over our calories and track every day then we will treat ourselves to a reward day. We are thinking of going to Red Lobster!! :) The app Myfitnesspal has been a lifesaver for food tracking. The bar code scanner is awesome!

And I am now down to 182!!! Woohoo!!!!! I am so excited for spring and summer. I am now over the cold and since losing the weight I am not as hot all the time! Soon I will be starting a garden and that will be an adventure.

Until next time.... Stay happy!
