13 September 2012

Looks like I'm doing a start-the-day and end-the-day journal. Seems to keep me in check. If that's what I need to do, then I'm doing it. I can feel I'm getting my 'take care of #1' mindset back. It's been a while since I've been there. I've been yo-yoing mentally with my exercise and foods and been wasting valuable time that could have been put to better use. Lesson learned.

Funny, I seem to get this way once summer is over. I mean, that's when I joined Swing last year, I lost weight throughout the holidays and new year, then I started to fizzle when I was coming off the meds. Things are very different than they were a year ago and in a great way. Time to make another year better than the last. Time to buckle down, get serious and push away distractions.

I have my gym and buddies there, my FS buddies and a new buddy at work who is into eating healthy and working out....oh! and my awesome neighbor who is cute as a button and says I know everything...haha! She is where I was about 6-7 years ago with thinking I was eating healthy (everything had soy and was low- or non- fat and drinking didn't matter!) I just wish I was as cute at 23. :-)

Looks like along with resting this weekend, I have some goal planning to do.

This
article may have had a little in getting my head back in the game.

My breakfast has a little more fat and calls today, but I can't eat the same thing if I'm having the same lunch 5 days in a row...can't do it. Plus I needed a little 'comfort food' with the way I've been feeling. I made my mom's version of breakfast goulash. Potatoes, onion, eggs, bacon and some fat (butter or bacon grease)...all cooked together. I can remember waking up and smelling this on Sunday mornings if she didn't have time to make biscuits and gravy. It smells divine in the house!! Potatoes seasoned just right, caramelized onions, creamy scrambled eggs and crisp bacon crumbled and added back in at the end. Good news...I have enough to have for breakfast again tomorrow!!

Sleep was a little better and a little worse last night. Woke up once drenched. Sat up and read for a while then back to sleep. No more sweating, but the coughing...ack!! Sore, dry throat this morning. Hard time getting deep breaths, voice is hoarse. I may go get some mucinex though I really don't want to take extra meds. Guess this is not a fight I can choose to participate in. I know my body is taking care of itself cause every day is a different stage. And only 2 more work days till I can collapse this weekend. And no...I'm NOT going to the band competition Saturday. Talk about stressing my body out! I'm saving all physical stress for Sunday morning at Swing since I couldn't go last night. I need to be able to take full deep breaths and be rested if I want to workout. I choose my workout. I choose me as priority.

I lost 2 more lbs and I have a theory for each one of them...someone placed an evil elfin magical spell on me so that I will lose weight in the most uncomfortable of manners...sweating all freakin night....OR....I was randomly picked to be the subject of an evil viral infection that you slowly waste away in pools of sweat.

Warning...gross sweat talk again. I don't like it, but it's my life right now.

I felt fine when I went to bed a little chilly, but the temps have dropped around here. No biggie. Go to sleep like normal, a sheet and a throw cover over me. I got warm and fell asleep. Woke up within 20 minutes with my head and back soaked. So much for cleaning the linens before going to bed. >:-(

That's how it went all night. Wake up sweating, kick off the covers and start to freeze cause I'm soaked, cover back up and say screw it so I can warm back up. I even woke up once cause I had so much sweat in my ear it felt like I was underwater. WTF?? Anyone ever heard of something like this? Is it just a virus taking it's time to get the hell out of me?? I can't stand waking up sticky from dried sweat. I have never had a virus that did this over this long of a period.

And on top of it, my ribs and throat are so sore from coughing up infection. If I don't hear from the doc's office by lunch today, I'm calling again. I know they can't treat a virus, but the infection they can, and it's not doing me any good at this point.

I'll take the 2 extra lbs gone, but am leery about how long they will stay gone. I have been drinking my fluids. Perhaps not enough. But I'm not tired from dehydration, I'm body is tired from being sick.

Good thing this isn't a face-to-face group or we could all be sweating the nights away now!! Hope all of you have continued good health and that your spirits are lifted.

Food for the day recorded. Even amounts of fat, carbs and proteins...yay! But need more fiber and calories (in the form of veggies). So tired right now and not hungry, so sticking with what I've got.

Called doc for an antibiotic but have not heard back yet. Starting to have a very sore throat from coughing and clearing it of infected drainage (sorry, I know that's gross), upset stomach (same reason), sore ribs from coughing, harder time breathing (which sends me into coughing fits). *whining Varuka Salt voice* I wanna feel better nooooow! *pouting face*

Had to install toilet seat at mom's cause both hinges broke on hers (everything is made so cheap now), then home to wash my sweaty bed linens and pillows (gross again, huh?). Once those are done, hitting the bed. I. Am. Exhausted. Doc said fluids and rest...well, I'm following that about 2/3 to the fullest.

I was wondering, the 3 lb drop I had in two days...I assume it's from being sick and all that being sick does to your body. But I also wonder how much stress has to do with it...or LACK of stress. You know, when you are so sick you could care less if the world was falling down around you...just leave me alone so I can get better...I DON'T CARE! Yeah, like that. It is in these moments when stress slips away, because it takes too much TO stress. Wow! If I could control my stress...or deal with it in a constructive way...how much simpler and easier would this journey be? Just a thought.
