So Ready to Head Out!

In about 37 hours, I will be in the car headed to Panama City Beach, Florida. I cannot wait! I am not much of a beach person, but it will be SO nice to get away from our normal daily grind for a few days. We will be gone from Saturday until Thursday. It’s a 7 hour drive, and we are hoping that Sawyer is okay with being in the car so long. My mom, brother, and sister are heading out around 6am, but we are leaving later because we have to wait for the kennel to open so we can drop Charmin off. It will be 9am-ish before we get on the road.

We plan to stop for lunch, and maybe one other stop before getting there. That is, if Sawyer is okay with sitting in his car seat that long! I think we will be okay because he loves car rides. He sleeps 75% of the time he is in the car, so it shouldn’t be a huge problem.

I am currently battling a sinus infection or cold (not sure which), and it is really making it hard for me to get everything done that I need to. We didn’t start packing until last night, so I still have to finish that and clean the house before we leave. I got all of my work related stuff done today, so my To Do list is only half the size it was this time yesterday. Feel pretty accomplished even though I have a headache that makes my entire face hurt, a stopped up nose, and a scratchy sore throat.

Way Off Track

I have gotten way off track with my weight loss. Being sick leaves me with zero motivation to eat healthy or go to the gym. I started to feel better this morning, then got a headache around lunch time and felt like crap until dinner. We have not went to the gym since Saturday, and I am sure the scale will detect this when I step on it Friday morning. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving dinner at James’ work, so I am sure I’ll increase that number a little more after that meal.

If I am going to blog for 30 days straight, I really need to come up with better things to blog about. At the moment, my life is consumed with Sawyer, work, and the gym. As the holidays approach, we will be getting out more to go shopping and to family dinners. Hopefully I will have more to talk about then. I’m getting a bit tired of sitting at home during the week…

Not the Best Time

I feel like I have ten thousand things to do, and apparently catching a cold is one of them. I blogged Saturday thinking that I may be getting strep throat, but is seems to be just a bunch of congestion and junk. This morning, I woke up with a runny nose and sneezing along with the sore throat, which isn’t typically found with strep throat. I also do not have a fever, which is almost always accompanies strep. So, I’m going to wait it out and take DayQuil and NyQuil rather than go to the doctor today. If it gets worse, I’ll definitely be going tomorrow. James’ sick time at work covers himself as well as his family, so if I am sick, he’ll be staying home to watch Sawyer while I lock myself in our bedroom to keep from giving it to either of them.

I hate getting sick anytime, but getting sick when you have a mile long To Do list is the worst. I have so much I need to get done both online and offline, but all I want to do is sleep until my head clears and my throat stops hurting. I don’t really have much of an appetite today either, so another thing I’m having to do is force myself to eat. It’s not fun at all when every swallow hurts…

Please Don’t Let it Be Strep!

So, it seems that I may be getting sick. I woke up Friday morning with a slight sore throat that has been slowly getting worse. Tonight, I took a flashlight in front of the mirror so that I could get a good look. The side that is most painful has a couple of white spots on it…which for me, probably means one thing: Strep. My brother just had it last week, but I wasn’t around him the entire week. It’s possible I was around him before his symptoms started though. I have dealt with strep throat a couple of times, so I’m not too worried about myself. I just hope I do not pass it (or whatever it may be) to Sawyer.

Today was leg day at the gym, and oh my gosh, my bottom half is completely wore out! There is no soreness yet, but my legs feel very tired and heavy. We skipped cardio today, which means I’ll be doing 30 minutes on our treadmill tomorrow. After all of the strength training we did, I don’t think I would have lasted 5 minutes on the treadmill today.

Finally, A New Theme
