Bloggin with Kelley: My life with Spina Bifida and much more!!!

Hey y’all!  Summer is upon us! Yesterday I was able to get in 1.50 miles in the morning...But my evening walk was foiled by rain! 👎🏼👎🏼 This morning it was absolutely GORGEOUS outside! So I put my headphones on and started what was suppose to be a 2 mile walk... I only got to 1.58 miles because I forgot to charge my phone and it tried to die on me! Lesson learned on that one! But hey my first mile was under 20 minutes so I was still pretty happy!  Tonight I thought for sure I was not going to get a walk in... But thankfully the storm missed us and I got in another 1.02 miles and it was under 20 minutes again!!!  Tomorrow I am going to go harder and see if I can get back to 2.50 miles... Stay tuned!!  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y’all!  So today wasn’t a stellar walking day but I got a tiny walk in walking from the campsite to the pool with my nieces and nephews!  With my little walk today I will hit 12.59 miles for the week!!! Slowly by surely I am creeping back up to where I was a month ago!!  I have definitely had some trouble motivating myself to walk since I have been here in Indiana... But I WILL get back to hitting 18-20 miles for the week before I go back to Mississippi at the end of the summer!!  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y'all!  Y'all I was so stinking proud of myself this morning... Cause I got in the first mile of a 2.34 miler!!! I would have to look but I'm pretty sure that is the fastest mile time I have ever had! I didn't make it 2.50 miles like I had hoped but with that first mile being what it was... I'm still one happy girl!!!  Tonight I decided to give myself a reward for this morning and take the night off from walking. It's Wednesday which means we are halfway thru the week... And I am already at 8.04 miles!! I am well on my way to hitting my biggest mileage number in almost a month!!! Tomorrow I tackle my first 3.10 miler of the week... But for now it's time to relax and enjoy my evening! Night y'all!  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y'all! So this mornings walk was delayed a little due to fog.... And the fact that I didn't do laundry yesterday so I had to wait for that to get done. Today's walk was a little bit of a struggle... Not because my hips were bothering but because I was sssoooo tired for some reason! It was definitely a slower walk but I still made it 2.12 miles so that was a win!  Tonights walk was actually two walks combined together to make 1.03 miles.. Which was exactly where I wanted to be!!!  Tomorrow I am shooting for 2.50... Stay tuned to see if I can get it in!  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y'all! So today it was rainy and cold... But since I was over at my sisters and she has a treadmill in her basement there was NO excuses for me not to go use it! I'm not going to lie y'all... It was TOUGH! Her treadmill is automatic so getting the speed and incline right was my first challenge! The next challenge was getting a good rhythm going... But that never really happened... And stopping and starting was also an issue! It was a challenge but I made 1.03 miles happen!!! It was way slower than I would have liked but for not liking treadmills I think I did pretty well!!  I ended up getting in a short second walk a few hours after walking on the treadmill. It was a short walk but I got something in before the rain!  Tomorrow I am hoping to go for 2-2.50 miles... Hopefully the weather will cooperate!!! Stay tuned...  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y'all! So yesterday was the end of the walking week and I'm proud to say I ended it with 11.45 miles!!! It's definitely not the 18-20 miles I had been doing.... But I'll get there!  This morning I decided to just do any easy walk. I have been camping with my parents all weekend so I just set out on a walk around the campground and got in 1.01 miles. I know that's not a lot but I finished the walk in under 20 minutes y'all!! And look at that mile time!!  Tomorrow the weather doesn't look to promising to get any walking done outside.... But since I am still here in Indiana I have my sisters treadmill to keep me walking even when it's raining! No excuses to slack off the next month or so while I'm here! ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley

Hey y'all!!!  I am so excited right now.... Cause today I hit over 4 miles for the first time in almost a month!!! I never thought I would get back to this point y'all! But I did it!!! This morning I went for it and got in 3.11 miles!!! My hip isn't back to normal by any means but it didn't feel too bad this morning so that makes me one happy girl!  Tonight I was definitely struggling... My hips and legs were definitely tired and sore... It felt like I was carrying bricks! But I sucked it up and made it happen and got in another 1.03 miles!!  So here we are halfway thru the week and I am just over 8 miles... I'm definitely right on track to hit the highest amount of miles I’ve had in close to 4 weeks!!  But now it's time relax and enjoy my evening. Night y'all!!!  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y’all! So I set 2 goals for myself this week. The first one was to hit 3.10 miles at least once and the other was to get back to walking twice a day... Well I knocked one of those goals out today by walking TWICE!! Now granted they weren’t very big walks but that doesn’t matter to me at the moment! I’m just excited to be getting back to my normal walking routine!!!  This morning when I woke up it was absolutely POURING... So I told myself I would try to wait it out for a little bit and if it didn’t let up I would just go walk on my sisters treadmill(We all know how I feel about treadmills!)... Which would have meant only one walk today... But thank the lord it stopped and I was able to get in the first 1.35 miles of the day!!  So this evening I kept going back and forth about doing a second walk... But I finally talked myself into it and off I went! It was definitely a ROUGH walk and I didn’t quite make it a mile... But I got in a second walk and that is really all that ma...

Hey y’all! I am so excited right now... because I just hit 1,100 miles walked!! With everything that has been going on with my hip it took me a lot longer than I planned... But I did it!!  Since I did 3.10 miles miles yesterday, today was definitely an easy day! My hips are definitely sore from yesterday but I made it happen. I got in just at a mile and that makes me one happy girl!  So I’m not back in double digits in my walking yet... But that’s my goal for this week! My other goal is to be back to walking twice a day again... Let’s hope my hips cooperate so I can hit both of those goals!! ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y’all! This has been an AMAZING walking day!! This morning when I got up the weather was cold and rainy... But thankfully the rain stopped and I headed out on my walk! I definitely struggled at the beginning of the walk. But as soon as I got going I felt AMAZING!! I got in my first mile in under 20 minutes!!! When I hit 2 miles I was so excited... and then the last half half mile I hit a wall... I definitely started to slow down... but I was determined to make it happen! And I definitely made my it happen!! I got in 3.10 miles in right at an hour y’all!!! I was so proud of myself after I was done! My hip is definitely sore tonight but not as bad as I thought it would!! Tonight I am going to relax and rest my hip... But tomorrow it’s back at it!!  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y'all! Today has been the best day of walking I have had in almost 2 weeks! The weather was BEAUTIFUL here in Indiana today... Well except for the wind! My hip felt SO good this morning so I decided to go for 2 miles again like I had planned the night before. My first mile was AWESOME! I knocked it out in just under 20 minutes y'all!!! When it was all said and done I got in 2.00 miles in UNDER 40 minutes!!! Let's just say I am one happy girl today😃 Tomorrow I am going for it to see if I can get to at least 2.50 miles... Stay tuned!!  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y'all! So yesterday was kind of an easy day so today I went harder! The weather here in Indiana this morning was BEAUTIFUL! Not too hot but not too cold either! Guess you could say it was just right! Everything started out great, I was chugging along and I hit my first mile in UNDER 20 minutes... Then I kind of hit a wall! I definitely started to slow down and was struggling to make it thru the whole 2.02 miles... But I finished! I was so proud of myself for not just giving in to being tired and turning around... Cause lord knows I wanted to!  After my walk this morning I got an email that I had just completed my 700th walk... How cool is that y'all!  Tomorrow it's time to go a little harder.... Getting closer to my goal of being back at 3.10 miles by the end of the walking week! Now it's time for PJ's and Netflix. Night y'all!  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley 

Hey y'all! So yesterday I didn't get any walkin in but I had a pretty good excuse... I spent the afternoon celebrating my sweet niece and the impending arrival of her first baby! I am so excited about adding a great niece! Today those it was back to the grind! I have set a goal for this week to be back to being able to walk 3.10 miles! I am still only walking once a day at least for this week. This morning I may have gotten a slight bit distracted by my new "toys" I got from Amazon🙈 But I pulled it together and got in 1.51 miles!!!  Hey at least I made myself walk! Tomorrow I am going for it and can hopefully hit 2.50 miles!!! Stay tuned...  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley

Hey y’all!  This week has been a struggle with my hips and trying to get my walking back up to where it was... I’m definitely not there yet but I can definitely say today is the best I have felt in two weeks!  Yesterday I walked just over 2 miles for the first time in at least a week and a half! So today I decided it was going to be an easy day.  This morning I walked over to my sisters house to watch my nieces and got in .53 miles!! I know that isn’t big miles but I was so happy with how I felt that it didn’t matter!  After I was done babysitting I headed back to my parents and got in another .50 miles!!! So all together I got in 1.03 miles... Like I said not big miles but my hips don’t feel all that bad so I am one happy girl!!  My goal for the upcoming week is to get back as close to 3.10 miles as possible... Stay Tuned! ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley
