It felt amazing to be back on my bike this morning, though I was a little uncoordinated. I almost ran into this man because I couldn't regain my balance. My foot also slipped off the pedals once when I tried to mount my bike. My arms had issues holding the handlebars steady.
Ok Ok so I am still suffering a little from last week's the sinus infection. Mostly tiredness and weakness, but I did get the mother of all headaches which shut me down for a few hours yesterday afternoon.
Saturday, though, I took a trip out to the farmer's market and it was such a pleasant day. One of the thoughts I had was how fantastic this simpler life was. The days stretch longer when I don't have every minute planned out in efficient detail. I read a book on the train and played a game on my cellphone when cell service wasn't cut off by a tunnel.
Surprisingly I needed a nap as soon as I got home. I think the sinus infection/Sudafed dulls my hunger signals. I'd gone too long without an energy source which requires immediate sustenance and time to recoup. The banana on the train back was enough to get me home and I stuck some peanut butter in my mouth before I shut my eyes on the couch. Woke up groggy and stayed in for the rest of the day. Got the kitchen cleaned and all my produced rinsed and dried though!!!
Sunday, I kept hearing a crackling in my sinus cavities which lead to sharp pressure and pain in my top front teeth which then subsided into a sinus headache. I took some sudafed and started to clean my room in order to stay awake. Had the strong the desire to go back to sleep but I had promised a friend to attend the 1pm church service with her. My room is about 1/3 clean, yay! Sinus headache increased in church a little, but magnified on the walk back home from the train.
I could have waited for the bus but sitting still made everything feel like it was getting worse. Much better to walk slowly. Climbing the stairs to my front door rewarded me with blinding pain. I had to crash on the couch for a few minutes until that subsided enough to take more sudafed, eat a banana, and go nap in my room....for 4 hours. Seriously, the only reason I got up was to eat something.
When I got up, all was well and bright with the world even though the sun was setting LOL. I had a lot of energy and felt great.
So, this week I am eating very clean; it's so much easier to do after a trip tot he Farmer's Market. For $53 I bought what would have cost me about $80 at Kroger. Had somethings last week that caused instant backup and bloating that's why this week needs to be clean. Don't like walking around with my belly poking out like that, it doesn't look or feel good. Very surprised to keep seeing 187 on the scale even though I feel like 197. Thank the Lord it's not 197. Ready to go!
