It's finally Friday! Yea!
Well, my health update is.....the gel that they gave me for the bacterial infection gave me a yeast infection. I have never had one of these before, and it is pretty gross! I started the first of 7 treatments last night, and hope this will be the end of this horrible ordeal. I started taking the acidophilus as soon as I started the antibiotic, but I guess the antibiotic was pretty powerful and then this gel just added to it, and voila...now the yeast. Isn't it best to stay away from beer, bread, sugar, etc...when you have a yeast infection? Not that I really have much of any of these, but just wanted to know.
I was at 121# today, so it may take awhile to lose all this mexican food weight that I've gained in the past week
. I did not go to the gym this morning; I didn't want to sweat too much with this infection. I think I will go tomorrow though, and just bring a change of clothes, and change as soon as I finish working out, so I'm not wearing anything that stays damp. I then have to go by the community center and enroll the kids in some summer classes.
I am home waiting for the bugman to come spray the exterior of the house. We found an organic company, and they only have to come every other month instead of every month since their natural stuff works better than the poisons that most companies use. However, there is nothing that kills those pesky scorpions; we just have to kill off their food source so they won't hang around. We found the first one in the house the other night. They are nasty and I don't want the kids or dogs around them. We might have a really bad year with them since we had so much rain. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed.
Heart: I hear ya! I take a little bit from every video and incorporate some into my workouts. I even take my resistance band to the gym and do the upper body workout from Slim in 6. It is easy to get bored with the same workout, and that is why many people stop working out. Variety is the key, and that is what keeps us motivated. I like Tae-bo too, and still do that on occasion. Beachbody used to have a video (they might still have it) called Thin Thighs; it was part of the Great Abs series, but you could buy it separate. It was only about 20 minutes, and concentrated only on your legs and butt in sectional progression. Oh My Gosh...OUCH! I remember the next day, I could hardly walk. My sister did it with me. She has stairs in her house and had to slide down them for a few days because she was too sore to walk down them. It is an awesome lower body workout, and could be added to any cardio routine.
Ken: I am sure Jess' program was precious! Have a nice relaxing day!
Monet: That is so funny...why are men like that? My DH ate the same cereal (cinnamon Life) for years, until I stopped buying it. He had to eat what was on sale when I bought it. He still will choose a bowl of any cereal over toast, oatmeal, pancakes, bacon & eggs, etc... He would eat the same thing for lunch for months without any complaints. I need some variety. Once you start alowing yourself those indulgences one leads to another, and it's tough to get back on track. Remember how dedicated you were to the fast, and don't let that weight come back. Good luck getting back on the right track.
Tech: Dinner sounds good, but I don't like Tilapia. I don't like much in the seafood arena. I like Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Salmon and swordfish, but that's about it. And keep that Shrimp, lobster, crab legs, etc...away! Do you just eat your 3 meals or do you snack too? I hope you see those 150's tomorrow. You are doing so well!
BOB: I'm glad you are feeling better. I hope you continue to feel well. The book sounds great. Wow, what a lot of great recipes. Let us know as you try them.
Sebray: I hope you get your a/c fixed soon; that is the worst! Hang in there.
Well, I better go check on Lane.
Have a great OP weekend.
