Been a while!
Wow, I didnt realize that I havent been back to EP in a week
As far as diet and exercise, its more of the same. Thursday I did have a couple pieces of Trick or Treat candy (many of the towns around here trick or treat the Thursday of the week of Halloween. I have no idea why.) but I ran out of candy before the end of the night and I had bought 6 bags! Great that I dont have tons of candy laying around the house but I felt terrible for those last few kids that came around. Friday my DH took off work, which is always good because that makes my weekend seem longer too
but that also meant I rushed home just to enjoy hanging out with him and didnt exercise. Saturday the weather was beautiful so I went for a 3 mile run. It was so great to be back outside again after our cold spell! Ofcourse after the next few days I think we are heading right back to the cold stuff. Sunday I was lazy. Monday was back to the gym, yay! Tuesday was just a 1.5 mile walk with the dog but that is something and we both enjoyed it. Oh, and I did some ab exercises, nothing formal. Food has been Horrible, thats horrible with a capital H! I eat nonstop and to make matters worse I tested out a chocolate pecan pie (Ive never made any pies besides pudding pie before) for thankgiving and had that around to devour. Then even worse it was good but not quite right so now Im tempted to tweek the recipe and try again but that just means another pie sitting around to be eatten.
Anyway, today Ive got my lunch packed and gym bag in the car to set myself up for an easy succesful day. However I think Ive got strep and need to get to an Urgent care for a strep test. Im just now getting around to switching to my DH's doctor from the one I had back when I was living with my folks. The new DR wont see me until they do a complete physical/new patient exam. So its urgent care for me today I think. I get strep all the time. Im one of those people who if a coworker's kid's classmate had a sibling with strep, Im gonna catch it. So ive learned the tell tale signs. Sometimes I get it so bad it hurts to breath and my whole body aches. Other times i just have the slightest scratchy throat but I get those white spots on my thoat and tonsils. And this is really really gross but usually I can taste it. Weird I know, but that strep taste is unmistakable. So luckily this is one of the times where Ive just had a scratchy throat and then saw the spots. I still want to hit the gym because I really truly dont feel bad but then theres always the thought that I dont want to spread strep and make people sick so am I being irresponsible if I go. I dont know, IM sure theres a ton of sick people in there from day to day and sick kids in the childcare room so what difference would I really make.....
