November 16th

Well….running on time today with doing the t-day grocery run…got a 12 pound turkey for under 6 bucks and that was pretty cool….slept okay last night and feel okay this morning but I am sore…have split my right heel and that really hurts when I walk so I do need to remember to use lotion to soften them up…it has been a few days now and I am getting tired of it happening this early in the fall/winter….didn’t get on the bike yesterday and might not today…but the rain is supposed to stop later and I would like to get out….have gone over 2800 miles on the bike this year and am shooting for 3000 in the next 6 weeks….not much to do today…was feeling crappy again yesterday but I hope that is over today so I can clean the bathroom and get some other stuff done….more later….

Daily deals…

well…just wanted to do a short one on a new grocery store that is out here in the south end…they call themselves a “food outlet” and have some pretty amazing deals…got a 9 1/2 pound ham for 8 bucks…10 pounds of potatoes for 1.49, a pumpkin pie for 1.49, and 2 1/2 pounds of smoked sausage for 5 bucks….all that food for 16 bucks….it was the second time I was in the store and the first time they had everything I needed…now I need to take all these items off my Meijer’s list for tomorrow…

November 15th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I was back to feeling like crap again…thought I was over the bug that I had but my lungs hurt all day so I guess not….tomorrow will be a week that I’ve had this thing and that’s not unusual…the last one lasted almost 3 weeks and I really hope this one is about done…I did get a bike ride in yesterday but today looks like the rain will keep me off and I don’t mind that…have been really sore the past few days and could probably use the recovery time….didn’t get much done yesterday but I will clean some today…after more coffee, that is, just can’t get started and I hope that will help….more later…

November 14th

Well…it was quite a busy day yesterday and I am feeling it today…I think the bug is back with my lungs just burning and lots of coughing…again…but, I think I know why that is and it will just take time for them to clear up…the cracks in my heels have started early this year and it hurts like crazy to walk…but, my back doesn’t hurt so maybe that’s something…..oh, I did lose at pool yesterday…just couldn’t hit anything and I’m not sure why….I finally got back on the bike yesterday an that may be part of why I am so sore today….and I’ll be back on it here inĀ  a while…but, I need coffee first….not much to do today…I think I’ll just take it easy and try to feel better….I do need to cook but don’t feel like it right now….more later….

November 13th

Well…getting ready to do some work but thought I’d do this first…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done and today will be much the same…after the project that I have to do in a few minutes that is….slept okay last night but it felt a little off….just couldn’t get comfortable and I’m feeling that a little this morning…but, my back still doesn’t hurt this morning and that is a good thing….today is going to be busy with the project, getting back on the bike, pool, and picking C up at the airport after pool….so I’m going to be running most of the day but that is okay….it’s nice to have something to do…okay, need to get moving here so I’ll get going….more later….

A dreary day….

Well…some days you just can’t win….got up early today to get out on the bike before the F1 race but I was a little late even at 8:15…and it has been a dreary, rainy day ever since so it looks like another one off…for 4 in a row and the guilt has shifted into overdrive today…and with all I have to do tomorrow, I may not get on the bike tomorrow, either…I did try to cut my calories down for lunch today and was somewhat successful…only had one chicken thigh, a small baked potato, and some frozen corn…still about 500 cals with a glass of milk so that’s a start….might do another baked pork chop for dinner to keep the day to under a thousand….I’m going to try to come back for another one today if I can come up with a topic…

November 12th

Well…running a little late this morning since I wanted to look at the ads that came in the paper….slept okay last night but the bug is still with me and I feel a little run down…but, I am going to get back on the bike today….feel like I’ve gained 10 pounds with being off the bike for three days and that just can’t go on….one good thing is my back is not hurting anymore…at least it hasn’t for the past couple of days and I hope that continues….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but didn’t need to and today looks the same…might clean a little but probably not….I do have a project for tomorrow morning and that will take a little time….today looks like a football and racing day again so I will probably just veg it out….more later….

November 11th

Well…running late today since I didn’t get up until 7:30 but that didn’t help my energy level….still feel run down today so it will be another rest day….and that makes it three and my guilt level is through the roof….I feel like I’ve gained 10 pounds this week and haven’t been successful in cutting back the calories…..oh, well….it was an okay day yesterday and I really didn’t do much…thought I was feeling better but the coughing is still there and I was sweating all day so maybe not…I have been thinking about getting out on the bike today but it is still too damn cold and I don’t want to put the full thermasuit on yet….not much to do today…just going to watch football all day and I think there is a race on, too…but I think I’ll still be bored…more later….

November 10th

Well…running a little late today and I still feel pretty crappy….it was a long day and too much running around for me….when I’m sick, that is….still coughing and have no energy so today looks like another veg day….it is only 19 degrees out there and the high is going to be 30 so I’m going to stay in where it’s warm….I did get some cleaning done yesterday and the place still looks good so I won’t have to do anything today….and that will be good with how I feel….the one good thing is my back doesn’t hurt for the 4th day in a row and that is welcome….not sure if I ate enough yesterday and that may be part of how I feel….I do have pork chops in the fridge for today but I may just do leftovers since it’s easier….not much to do today….going to just take it easy and try to recover….more later…

November 9th

Well…running a little late today and you know why…survived the grocery run but I am sitting here sweating through my clothes still….my lungs appear to be better today and I really don’t feel bad at all so I think T’s advice to take a day off and just rest was good…I did get some cleaning done and need to do a little more today but the place is looking okay…slept okay last night but was up really early this morning…I think I looked at the phone at around 4:30 but tried to stay in bed until 6…and I did…looks like I’ll be off the bike again today since I don’t want to push this cold but that means I have to switch into reduced calorie mode and cut back to one meal….should be able to keep the cals under a thousand today since the bug has really killed my appetite…..not much to do today…C is coming into town later and I need to take him to the airport…and then pick him up Monday…and I think we are going to try to meet up with K before the airport so the day may just take a lot out of me….more later….okay, I was wrong..it just hit me and I feel like crap again….
