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.

Mental Illness Awareness

I decided I would start the mental health awareness thing.  My plan is to post something regarding mental health on a weekly basis.  I will post things on this blog, Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram.  I will either post something relating to mental health (stats, helplines, videos, or answers to the questionnaire I created.  I don't know that I will accomplish anything, but if I each even one person then I have accomplished something.  Today's item is from the National Alliance on Mental Illness.  The image I have is poor quality.  There is a pdf, but I can't upload a pdf.  Here is the link to the image for better quality:  NAMI Mental Health Fact Sheet

Update on Finding a Hobby

A few months ago I posted about trying to find a hobby.  I honestly haven't made much progress on that.  I thought this week with my time off would be a good time to really start exploring some of those things.  I decided to start by reviewing the original list and updating it/narrowing it down some.  The original post and list can be found here . After reviewing it, I have narrowed it down further from 25 to 10. I have also made some notes on a few of them. Archery - I like the idea of this, but I think it is a really expensive hobby.  I'm leaving it on the list for now, but I don't know if it will ever happen. Board Games/Gaming - I'm combining this one with Entertaining, because for me these two go together.  I think I will try to start up a monthly game night.  People can come over to our place and we will play games and hang out.  Dancing - I could start belly dancing again.  Lessons are still ongoing. Hiking-Yes, I miss hikin...

This Week

I talked about The Hungry in my last post.  Due to having The Hungry last week, this week is going to be hard.  I feel like I am starting over again; which, in a way, I am.  I don't have significant weight loss from week to week so anytime I go off track I either gain it back or if I'm lucky I will maintain.  I'm not going to weigh myself tomorrow.  I will wait until August to do it.  I am giving myself more time to lose weight and adjust to eating more healthy and less calories.  Earlier tonight I was pretty frustrated because if I was able to run I would have almost zero consequences for eating how I did this week.  Unfortunately I am still unable to run due to my knee condition.  My knee has improved so I have hope that I will be able to run again, but waiting is awful!  I hate being injured!  However, improvement is improvement and I will take what I can get.  I was able to go for a walk tonight (almost 1 mile!) and my ...
