Well, now that I am feeling 100% better I can start exercising again. I have been so achy this week between being sick and not being able to take my arthritis medicine when I am sick. It really sucks..my medications are immune suppressants, so taking them when I am sick only makes it harder and longer for my body to fight off the infection. And not being able to take them really impacted me this week, more than I thought that it would.
But, tomorrow I am going to start taking them again, so I should get less achy just in time for the foot of snow they are predicting for Sunday-Monday... I am so sick of snow this season! I like snow, but just not this much..I can't handle all of it.
I have 9 1/2 weeks till Florida.. so I really gotta get moving on my diet/exercise program. I am so looking forward to going...my aunt has already scheduled manis, pedis, facials and massages for us... it is going to be like heaven... I have not been able to really relax since.. well since I became a mom... that was almost 12 year ago!!
I have decided to start putting myself first. I cannot keep leaving myself behind for everyone else.. at some point, I need to feel good about myself and the only way to get there is to take care of myself!
Dietwise this week has been a little off... haven't had much of an appetite,... but I did get myself that Shamrock shake from McDonalds.... I figured better get it out of my system now while I am off the wagon this week, rather than waiting till I am being all strict... like today, my lunch was 2 tbsp on all natural peanut butter and a cheese stick... i just wasn't hungry, but I knew I had to eat something.... those South Beach Diet snack bars do come in handy... I have had them a few times for snacks and they actually taste pretty good.
