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….

It’s 9:30 and I’m exhausted

Well…it’s 9:30 in the morning and I’m already exhausted….I guess this bug is worse than I thought and is going to keep me off the weight machine and the bike today….this one really started to hit last night but I’m not much worse today so I think it must just be a cold…but, I’m freezing and it’s 75 in here so maybe the flu? Crap…at least I don’t have anything to do today but clean…and not too much of that…more later…

November 8th

Well….feeling pretty crappy today with the bug that has taken hold…have been coughing, warm, and have a sore throat with no energy but it’s no worse than yesterday so I think it’s just a cold and not the flu….I should have realized I was coming down with something on the bike yesterday when I was just freezing for the whole ride….so, I may take the day off the bike today or wait until later to go out…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will be the same…I am going to clean a little today if I feel up to it…my lungs hurt….I feel miserable so I think I’ll end here for now….more later….

I’m laughing about this….

Well… I was bored tonight and remembered that I bought an LED light bulb for above my kitchen sink so I decided to put it in tonight just for the heck of it…oh, and it was only a buck at the dollar store that I am starting to like…it is really bright for only being a 60 watt bulb…but the weird thing is the longevity of the thing…using it 3 hours a day, it is supposed to last 22.3 years…yep, that’s right…22.3 years…and running it 3 hours a day costs $1.28…per year….now….that is some pretty cool stuff and I think I may get a few more of them if I can get them for a buck….the whole thing just made me laugh….

November 7th

Well…running a little early today with getting up at 5 or so…I think my allergies are keeping me from sleeping well…and the voltage drain in the car…but, I have a plan for that that I’ll start working on today…after it warms up some…oh, pool was a tie and that was cool…and I had the top down out and back but I think that will be the last one for a while with the cold really rolling in later in the week…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will work on some stuff today just cleaning since I have been avoiding it for more than a week now…I do need to finish up the ham I bought last week and get the rest of it in the freezer for soup later…more later….

November 6th

Well….the time change is still screwing me up today but not as badly as yesterday….slept okay last night and feel okay today but I am a little tired….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same with pool this aft….I did get out and get a new pair of glasses so I can read this…only 6 bucks so no big deal breaking the other ones…..not sure why I’m sore today with only riding the bike yesterday….it appears that I’m going to be sore for the rest of my life and I’m not sure how I feel about that….after all, I’ve been sore most of my life so why should that change now? Not much to do today….going to clean a little but no cooking today…just going to live on leftovers for the next few days…I do need to figure out some new food since I am bored with what I have been eating….more later…
