Ain't that the truth?
Hi folks! It's been a fairly uneventful couple of weeks. I've been sick for the last week. I had a fever of over 100 last weekend. Luckily, it didn't last long but the accompanying cough has. The hubs finally convinced me to go to Urgent Care yesterday. It turns out I have bronchitis - and because of my asthma, it could last another 2 weeks. Yay...I was prescribed some meds and they've helped. I was able to sleep through the entire night last night - first time in weeks! I stayed home today because the meds said they could cause drowsiness so I wanted to make sure I knew how I'd react before going to work. Plus, the doc said I'm still contagious so I wanted to spare those around me. But I'm feeling so much better - no more coughing until I feel like I might puke. I've lost most of my voice but that should come back in the next few days.
Because I'm feeling better, I've asked the hubs to work out with me outside today. I really wanted to play some tennis but it looks like it might storm so I'll have to figure out plan B. Maybe yoga or just running on the treadmill, which I hate.
Weight Watchers sign up was this past Friday at work. I signed up and found that this time around, I get 3 less points to eat per day. I assume it's because I weigh less than I did when I started it last year. I gave myself the weekend off and ate whatever I felt like but I officially started counting points today. My God, I forgot how much it suuuuucks. It's hard to find a lot of good recipes that are Weight Watchers friendly - other than salads. I am not the type to live on salads. I am back to scouring Skinnytaste.com to find yummy recipes that are WW friendly.
I'm also having trouble because my mother, who lives with us, loves junk food and soda. When she didn't live with us, it was a lot easier to keep that stuff out of the house because the hubs and pops didn't care much for junk food and neither drinks soda. Also, she enjoys cooking - especially Filipino food, which is not the healthiest cuisine on the planet. I'm just going to have to figure out how to keep myself motivated with having all these temptations at home...Oh well. Off to prepare some dinner.
Happy Workouts Folks!
