6/20
Workouts: swim class with Roo and walking
I ate a sonic burger and fries for lunch and that's all I ate all day. Why you may ask well it's been so long since I have had fast food that it didn't set well at all and I got really sick after. I remember the last time I was off fast food for a long time and I had the same reaction so I've learned no fast food for me. *sigh* I will miss the once in awhile burger and fries but ya know the turkey burgers we make at home are even better tasting so yeah ok I'll miss the fries because although home fries are good they're just not the same.

6/14/09 All Day

I finally gave in last night and went to the doctor and as he looked at my throat he was like WOW this is really infected. No duh. Then he checked my glands and was like these are so swollen are they tender. I was like so my jumping 15 feet in the air backwards wasn't enough to indicate that?? And then of course the wow your cough sounds horrible. Yeah got that too and that's why I am here I want sleep, I crave sleep, I'm not sleeping. So I got a shot, and two prescriptions to fill and I'm on the road to recovery. I actually did sleep last night and I am feeling better right now for the first time in almost three weeks so maybe that is all I needed. I don't know why I always wait to long before I go see a doc actually I do it's because I don't want them to think I'm a hypochondriac like my old doctor always insinuated I was so I now wait to long which is not good either. *sigh* I actually still have not gone to see my new doctor which I know I need to remedy very soon.

Yesterday I felt so horrible because the cough was so hard that it was causing me to feel nausesous.

Have you ever noticed if you're sick you just do not have the attention span tht you normally do? I am so disappointed that I haven't forced myself to blog everyday but exhaustion wins out right now.

6/3/09 All Day

This week has BLOWN for workouts. I didn't get my lunch walk because it was raining and when I tried to walk the building I was getting run over by others trying to do the same thing. Tonight I just couldn't make my body run even though we did do some extra distance walking wise while Roo would allow it. Then p90x yeah well ummmmmm I fell asleep in the lazy boy while holding a sleeping Roo so that didn't happen either. The nap was worth it though and showed me how tired I really was I need sleep tonight REALLY need sleep since that hasn't happened that much either. I was only at 59% the night before. So based on my non scientific study you must have plenty of sleep in order to be able to push yourself. I do have to say though that my nap tonight with Roo was some of the best rest I have had this week.

So I will be reaching none of my goals today and I am going to have to be ok with that.

B: life cereal and a banana
S: protein bar
L: baked potato w/ very little anything on it but salsa and that was good
S: fresh pineapple, grapes, and strawberries
