Well we did it now. The boyfriend joined planet fitness both because he want's to get in better shape and he's encouraging me to get healthier because well my body is going down hill quickly and we both know it. My BP is too high, I get out of breath too easily, if I sneeze I throw some muscle out of wack.. or I pee myself a little.
Anyways. We met today at the gym instead of meeting at a bar like we would normally do. I won the changing in the locker room challenge. I can get both in the gym and out of the gym almost 5 minutes faster than him. It's like he doesn't change like a toddler or something. $5 says he folded his gym shorts. Mine are crambed into the bottom of my sons old book bag because that is what I have now called my gym bag.
On the elliptical I burned a whole 100 calories more than I would have at home. Mostly because he kept hitting my button and he was watching and I wasn't taking random breaks or watching trash tv on the screen. I was watching game shows because I forgot my earbuds and my water bottle. Thankfully the boyfriend had a bonus water that was probably rolling around in his car for a good week or two before I stole it. Then we did treadmills.. neither of us were brave enough to try the weights. He claims we are starting slow. I'm pretty sure I will be on the floor snoring in my office this afternoon because of the non-slow in our slowness. Then he did this weird thing where he insisted we should stretch. So we did weird pretzel moves by the workout equipment... Which I won because I can touch my toes and he can't. Not that it's a competition but I'm totally winning.

I've been sick with the plague since Tuesday. It can't seem to decide if it's coming or going. Because of the chills and hot flashes, random narcolepsy, body aches (my hair hurts), and my sinuses hurting I have opted to not workout. I worked out Tuesday and I lost 6 hrs due to an extended pre-bedtime nap with a couch and the dog. The dog drooled in my hair.
I finally got to the point where I could do squats and not require the handicap bar in the bathroom to pee the next day. I imagine all of that will reset as soon as I don't feel like something that got run over by a truck.
Fitbit says I'm a sloth. I barely ate and I was still over because I didn't move yesterday. Technically I did move. I switched sides in my sleep and I hit the next button to skip the commercials while watching Judge Judy. Fitbit needs a plague button that accounts for the fact that I'm currently busy not dying. Just sayin..

Getting healthy is exhausting. I'm logging like it's my job. I log my food in fitbit. I also log everything in my handy dandy notebook with EVERYTHING my day includes. I log when I ate it, what I ate, when I worked out, when I took my vitamins, when I was annoyed at work.. the only thing I'm not logging is when the dog farted.
Good news is I have been able to avoid vertigo attacks for a while by doing this. Bad news is I'm now official to notebooks, strange colored pens and logging things. I've had a strong desire to look up workout books and logs today. I think I have a serious addiction. Especially since I'm hiding all the logging from the boyfriend because I think he would think I'm crazy. Not that he doesn't already think I'm crazy but he doesn't need to know a new reason.
My new adventure is me getting back into weight training. I had to give up most of my workouts because of the health issues but I feel like I have it figured out enough to pick it back up. Plus the healthier I am the better I will be able live. The fun part is I'm still completely clueless. Every trainer, plan, app, etc. has a different idea of what someone should do. None of them seem to start at the "can't do a pushup and looks like a beached whale when doing situps" level. Where does one start when wanting to start slow and not kill themselves?

Is it a sign you have a problem when you actively avoid your professional friend (therapist) and health coach? Apparently I had a phone meeting with one yesterday and another one tomorrow. It's not that anything is wrong I just don't like people anymore this week. Now that I write that out I probably should have talked to both of them. lol Oh well.
We went on vacation last week to Orlando and then came back home to CNY and it is a struggle! I felt spring/summer. I wore shorts! My toes were exposed. I wore my new flip flops. The fire ball appeared in the sky for 5 glorious days! Now? Now it's 32 degrees. My jeans are scratchy. My toes are suffocating in giant socks. There is a snow storm forecasted for tomorrow. Talk about seasonal sadness. I should have refused to get back in the car for the drive back. If I had laid out flat in a lounge chair next to the pool I don't think they could have gotten me back into the car. So I'm back and kind of disappointed that the seasons cannot be put on a timer that I dictate.
The other thing is I'm back to work. I manage people. This requires me to people with people I would otherwise avoid. Not going to lie.. yesterday I went to the bathroom and came back to one of them looking into my empty office. I hid behind the copier until they went away. Today one of them requested to move work off to someone else. I said no. They guessed it was ok since they didn't have anything else to do.... no words.
I'm going back into turtle mode until the sun reappears. I will not come back out until my toes can be exposed without frostbite. Until then I cannot people.

I'm back.. again. In January I was diagnosed with Menieres disease. I'm still coming to terms with what that means. It's really a garbage term for I have vertigo and they don't know why and there is no cure. As part of finding my triggers and what sets off an attack I have to log like a mad woman which I've been doing in a paper notebook.. which I accidently gave to my new hire. Complete face plant. I'm not sure if I can ever look at the man in the eye again. Because of that I decided it was probably better to switch back to a virtual journal. Plus who knows. You guys might have advice for my new insane diet.
I need to keep my sodium under 2000 mg. I had to give up caffeine, chocolate, and limit alcohol. I can basically eat rice and oatmeal. Which for someone who did low carb is a complete lifestyle switch. I'm still trying to figure out how to do this. I had it somewhat under control before the kids spring break but now I have to reset again. Turns out mardi gras season at universal studios is not low sodium friendly.. then again I only live once so I went a little wild. Now I have to reset before I end up on the floor with the room spinning around me.
If I don't get right with myself and get on plan I have violent vertigo for 4-6 hours at a time. Every time I have a vertigo attack the hearing in my ear gets more damaged. Plus apparently there is no cure so I'd like to keep it at bay for as long as I can.
Does anyone else do low sodium? My taste buds are sobbing from the lack of flavor without salt.
