Feeling Better

I'm finally feeling up to writing so here goes. I'm here at work but needed a break from researching contracts. Well I've been sick and it all started with a fever and I seemed to be getting better but I was not and it got really bad last Thursday...sneezing, eyes itching, coughing, and the such. My husband in his wisdom told me to take some medicine. I am usually opposed to such things but thought what the heck...it worked and dried me out. I am not sure it was the medicine or just being sick but I lost 3 pounds last week and have managed to keep it off while not even exercising so that made me feel good. I have been really good in recording my food in my Excel spreadsheet Food Diary and it helps. So I am enthused that when I get going in my exercise it will be awesome...the weight should continue to come off. So I have to get back to some workouts and start up again with some strength training. I thought it best to take it easy when I was sick...but no more excuses. So tomorrow will be Thursday and according to Jillian that will be a day to work on the pushing motions of the body. This means the triceps, shoulders and chest and then some lower body exercises, like the quads. On Friday I will work the pulling muscle groups like the biceps, back and lower body this time the glutes and hamstrings. I've also been listening to Jillian Michaels on KFI and have downloaded all her podcasts. She had a guest on last Sunday and his name is John Spencer Ellis. I am not sure about all the stuff he does but the life coaching aspect would be helpful but expensive. So I've been listening to his podcasts as well and from there I am finding out even more about all the things that I'm starting to get interested in, including nutrition, fitness and exercise. I've been toying with the idea of taking a night class about nutrition/health. I also even found a class I could take on Pharmacology online but again the book would be expensive and also life is so busy. I am waiting to come to a point where I feel my life is in order and then I can focus on some of the things I want to, like my photo albums, putting together info on nutrition, recipes, fitness, etc. But I have to make that happen...it requires action as I know and am hearing and learning more and more...nothing comes to us, we have to seek it. So since we have been talking about redoing the garage I figure I should start there and organize my house and life...getting rid of all the garbage in my life. Give it all away or throw it out. So perhaps I will start that on Friday...since I may not be working this Friday...that's still up in the air. I really want to but part of me would like a three day weekend again...it's been awhile. So I better get going...I've spent enough of my work time writing this and I have to head out to see my nephew play a baseball game at 5. Bye for now.
