Feeling Better

After 5 days of hell I'm finally feeling better.  The world cleared about an hour before I left work today.  That was probably one of the worst illnesses I have had as an adult.  My head hurt so bad I kind of just wanted to chop it off.  Once the headache went away the dizziness set it and I didn't want move because the world swam around me when I did.  My head has finally quit hurting and the world isn't swimming when I move around.  I'm hoping I can sleep tonight with taking beandryl.  Prior to today if I tried to lay flat to sleep the pressure would build in my head in a very painful way and I can't sleep while sitting. 

I'm keeping my fitness goals pretty easy for this week.  I don't want to over do it this soon after recovering from a hellacious sickness. 

Goals for the week 8/3
  1. Do leg exercises twice.
  2. Eat healthy food
  3. Drink lots of water
Basic, I know, but its better to keep it basic then re stress my body.  That's all I have for today.  I'll try to post something more interesting on Friday/Saturday.

Finding a Hobby

Being an adult is hard.  I find that most days I feel unsatisfied with my life.  I often think back to being in my early twenties and romanticize the time.  Logically I know I was horribly depressed through most of it, but I still find myself longing for the days.  I have a good life now, but sometimes its hard to see because I get so bogged down in the day-to-day.  Partially that is because I have let what is important slip away for what is easy. I miss the how busy I stayed.  I miss how social I was.  At one point when I was therapy, I created a life goal plan.  I'm not sure if that is the actual name of it.  Basically, I listed things that were important and why they were important and then I listed how I would achieve those things on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.  I may find that useful to do again, but that is not what I am doing today. Most days I come home and immediately turn on the tv.  I watch a few hours of TV a...

Busy, Busy, Busy

This weekend has been just full of things going on.  My plan when I left class Friday was to clean up and do lots of homework, but so far that hasn't really happened.  I've worked everyday, and work has been super busy, so I've been very tired when I get home.  My Dad came up for a visit on Saturday.  We went to Helen for drinks; it was a blast.  There is a club in Helen I plan on checking out soon.  Yay, something to do, Finally!!!!!  Working out hasn't happened.  I'm going to try to get in a kettlebell workout today before work.  I was going to go jogging yesterday, but Brent didn't get off work until very late so I couldn't use his treadmill.  I've always been eating like there's no tomorrow.  All in all, not a healthy weekend.  This morning I decided to go for baked apples.  Turns out that all the recipes for them are really really bad for you.  I tweaked it a little bit, so hopefully it won't be as bad.  I...

An Exciting New Name

It turns out I'm pretty awful at naming things.  I have been pondering for an hour over what I should name this blog.  Health and Life is a good name, but a common one.  I even looked up this wonderful website on how to name your blog.  I managed to take up a whole piece of paper with a lot of phrases that don't make any sense or have no relatedness to my blog.  I think my favorite name is "The Afflicted Scientist", but outside of the afflicted part I can't make it relate.  For now, Health and Life will remain my blog name. As far as weekly progress goes I suspect I will meet two of my goals.  I have done my leg strengthening exercises three days, and I have tracked using Lose It!every day.  I almost didn't track Lose It! today because I thought I would go over on calories.  Going over on calories is not a good reason to not track.  I entered in everything and was only about 20 calories over, so it really wasn't bad.
