Today's Update....

Breakfast - About Half a bowl of Cherios. Unfortunately my stomach wouldn't let me have any more than that. Splurged slightly by having a handful of saltines and a glass of ginger ale to settle my stomach.

Exercise - Not a good day in this aspect. I got half way through my walk and almost threw up so that was the end of that. We've decided either milk is agitating my sinuses or I might be some what lactose intolerant. I've never been much of a milk drinker in the past yet I've been having cereal for breakfast every day for the past month.

Lunch - Stomach was a bit better so I had a small sandwich with a left over piece of trout.

Dinner - My left over Chinese with just a bit of chicken broth to moisten the rice and add some flavor.

Extra Exercise - Once my stomach was better I did a couple more loads of wash. Finally done for a while.

Nighttime Snack - Just had a plum.

Nausea Sucks!

So I really got hit with the nausea today. Before anyone suggests it, pregnancy test came back negative (had to verify due to a late period and my IUD putting me at risk of tubal pregnancies). It's just my sinuses draining.

I have to say though. Whatever pregnant woman realized ginger ale and saltines help with nausea is a saint in my eyes. Yes my husband has informed me it was actually sailors that came up with it, but ya know what, I say the credit still goes to a pregnant woman. lol

In Need Of A Laugh...

Today's Update.

Breakfast - Bowl of Cherrios and a Banana.

Exercise - Walked my mile in 24:03. Didn't use my gloves today because my sinuses were bothering me again. Had to stop and start a couple times so I didn't get sick. Trying some new sinus meds tomorrow, hopefully they will help. Damn weather.

Lunch - Had a bit of the left over curried chicken salad from last night. Still not that great, but better than throwing it away in a couple days.

Dinner - Got some rice with steamed chicken and veggies from the local Chinese place. It needs some juice/broth or it's just a bit dry. Otherwise it tasted good.

Extra Exercise - Finishing my laundry.

Night time snack - Probably a plum. Having a cup of jasmine green tea as well.

Walking Playlist...

So I've set up a playlist on my old iPod that I have been playing when I walk. Hubby gave me his old iPod touch but my old one fits better in my arm band thing. Plus I don't worry so much about dropping it when I'm walking. Anyway, I set up a list of the songs that seem to be pushing me the best right now. It's 9 songs for a total of 33.9 minutes. Since I'm walking 24 minutes a day it means there's always 2 songs I don't hear each day so I'm rotating through. Here's my current playlist:

1. Whataya Want From Me by Adam Lambert
2. Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) by Beyonce
3. Sexy Back (Dirty Edit) by Justin Timberlake
4. Just Dance (feat. Colby O'Donis) by Lady Gaga
5. Bad Romance by Lady Gaga
6. Supermassive Black Hole by Muse
7. So What by Pink
8. Misery Business by Paramore
9. Breakin' Dishes by Rhianna


As my walk gets longer I'll add songs to the list. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to add them here. I'm looking for songs with a good beat to them.

I Don't Wanna Walk...

That's how I feel this morning, unfortunately. My sinuses are in an uproar and I had to take an allergy pill.

But then I found this... It's called 'I don't WANNA walk this morning, you can't MAKE me!' And I found it over on Getting 2 Goal.

It put a smile on my face and I'm going to go walk now.

And one more smile before I post this and go walk my ever widening behind off...

Routines...

So it seems that there's been an interesting 'side effect' to this whole change. I seem to be falling into routines that I always struggled with previously. Every day after I exercise and take my shower, while I'm picking out my clothes for the day I set out my exercise clothes for the following day. I've never been a morning person but lately I've been getting up between 9 & 9:30. Also, I'm having an easier time remembering medications. I take my blood pressure pill with breakfast in the morning as well as a multi-vitamin that's supposed to help with metabolism and energy. And I have a powder I have to take at night due to some rather uncomfortable side effects of my gallbladder removal. I've had a hard time remembering these for as long as I've been on them. Yet they have worked themselves into my routine and are now a part of daily life.
