My original plan was to go to the Mardi Gras Zumba Party at the club tonight, but now that the doctor's put me on the injured list, that plan's been cancelled.
Knee update: I started the meds two days ago and felt really sick to my stomach.... thankfully I realized after a day that, oh, I was taking twice as much as I was supposed to. Moron!! I probably made my stomach bleed. I'm sorry stomach. :-( My knee maybe feels a tiny bit better...maybe. But not tons. It better shape up fast because I need to get back to the gym.
Life without exercise is weird. You'd think it would make me more productive but it's done the opposite. Now I come home from work and park it on the couch. Do I clean? Nope. Do I organize? Nope. Do I melt peanut butter in a bowl in the microwave, then stir cereal in it until it's all coated, and then eat it with a spoon? Yes.
One thing I have been doing is reading a new book I got on Tuesday after Job #2.
So far I am really enjoying it (and yes I read it while eating my peanut butter cereal). It's full of different tips and tricks to incorporate throughout your life, and each tip is rated a 3, 2, or 1. Tips that get 3 points will make greater changes whereas 1 point tips will help, but not as much. The idea is the more points you incorporate, the better. I don't think I'll actually tally my points, but so far my big take away is that I want to make an effort to eat more "real" foods. I know that sounds weird, but as Andy can attest... I'm the queen of buying anything fat-free/sugar-free/calorie-free - he lumps this all into the category of "cardboard." Now, since this is my birthday weekend, there's probably some funfetti in my future, but starting Monday... yes Monday, my actual birthday... I'm going to make a real effort. I'd like my 30's to feel healthier and more balanced than the weight roller coaster of my 20's.
What's in store for my birthday weekend? Tonight's a trip to the cheapo movie theater to see "This is Forty." Tomorrow I am working Job #2 (blah) and then I'm getting my hair done. Yay!!! I haven't had my hair done since before the marathon, so this is a very needed trip. Then Sunday is the big celebration. TRIP TO BINGO PALACE!!!! I'm pretty sure I'm going to win lots of money. ;-)
