The other day I was driving with my 4 year old to the grocery store to get some food.
Him: Mom, look at me.
*I turn around to look at him.*
Him: Mom, your face is getting old.
Me: What?! My face is old?
Him: No. It's getting old.
Ah, kids and their honesty. Truthfully, I was a little hurt that he said this. Maybe my face is getting old and I just don't see it. I'm only 26.
And, I have yet another "problem" that I am taking some new meds for. Seriously ridiculous. 5 'sicknesses' in one month? I'm so, so done. But I am going to aim for the beginning of Nov to start working out again. I hope that my ear will feel better by then (that's right, still isn't better) and all my other ailments will be gone. I've never had so many things happen to me at once. I'm rather annoyed. I feel like I just keep complaining. I guess I am.
Here's to feeling 100% by Nov 1st!!!

Getting frusterated
So as we all know, last month I had my tonsils out. That took about 2-3 weeks before I was feeling better. Enough to start eating 1-2 meals a day. When I went in for my 2 week check up appt, I was told "No excercise for one more week." Okay. Well, I didn't even have my throat feel "normal" before I got allerys and a cold. I had stuffy sinuses, itchy eyes, sneazing all the time, etc. That has now turned into an ear infection!Yay! Last Tuesday night was horrible. It was so sudden, too. I went to be around 10pm. While I was laying there my left ear started to feel weird. Like I was underwater. I thought that maybe if I sat up, it would drain and go back to normal. So I went downstairs where my husband was watching t.v. and I joined him on the couch. About a half hour later, it was so much worse. I couldn't belive it.
When I was 4 yrs old I had tubes put in my ears. I can't remember the last time I had an ear infection.
I was just dying! It hurt so, so bad. I still thought that it would go away soon, so I took a few ib profin and waited. Ethan went to be and I just watched t.v. It got so much worse! By 2 am I was calling my mother (she works the grave yard shift) bawling to her about how much it hurts. There wasn't much she could do for the pain, but it was helpful to cry to someone. I ended up taking a pain pill (my very last one!!) that I had left over from my tonsil surgery. By 3 am I was asleep.
I did go to the dr. the next morning, and yes, I have an ear infection. He gave me some antibiotics. What's crazy is that my little one year old went in for his well child check up on Monday and we found out he has an ear infection in each ear. He is just like I was when I was little. Never complaining about an ear infection, not knowing about it until we're in the office and the dr. checks the ears. The dr. said if he has another infection that we should get tubes put in his ears.
So, in the long version, I still have not been to the the gym to work out. My dad did mention, on his own I might add, that he still wants to come over in the mornings and workout at the gym together. I can't wait to do that. I really am feeling the urge to get out and excercise. I just hope I can sometime soon!!

I forgot
To add my Oct 1st weight! hahaha. Silly me.
Not too shabby. My goal for this month is to maintain that weight. I didn't loose it the best way (from my surgery). So not gaining is what I'm going to aim for! :)

Surgery and Shakes and Cinnamon Rolls
Hi there. I thought for a while I wouldn't be writing. hahaha. Not really. I know I didn't write at all last week, but I think I get a pass since I got my tonsils out on the 18th. That was an experience in and of itself. Suggestion: Don't do that unless you need to! I am still healing. My throat still hurts and I only eat about once a day. Maybe twice. And I've lost about 8lbs!
About two nights ago my husband and I went to Arbys for dinner. I got a sandwhich and a chocolate shake. I thought the yummy, cold, ice cream would feel good on my throat. As I would swallow it, my throat would burn! It feels like I have a raw section in my throat that has not healed yet. I told my husband I couldn't eat it. I was disappointed about it, but also glad because I know that I didn't need to eat it. He didn't care either way.
Yesterday I told him that a cinnamon roll from the Lehi bakery sounded delicious. He picked me up two. I was so excited for that. Let me tell you. Since I cannot eat much of anything right now (and the past week and a half) I oogl over pictures of savory dinners shown in magazines and on t.v. I cannot wait to scarf down a thin crust chicken bacon artichoke pizza from Pappa Murphys. I dream about going to Red Lobster and ordering their all you can eat shrimp they have going on right now! (yes, it's true!)
So this cinnamon roll is calling my name. I know that for our BL comp, this is a huge no no. But I've hardly eaten and I just couldn't stand it. Mmm..... first bite was good. Little stingy. Next bite was delicious!
More stinging.
Burning!
My throat is on fire!
I stomp around the kitchen, holding my throat. Agh! I can't scream! I can't cry! I can't yell! All I can do is stare at my cinnamon roll that has somehow betrayed me.
Cinnamon rolls, chocolate shakes. I think I figured out what the culprit is. Sugar. That's right, SUGAR!! I cannot eat any sugary thing lest my throat catch fire and I roll around on the floor in pain. I can't decide if this is good or bad. Good as in "Shouldn't eat unhealthy food" Bad as in "Oh yeah! A cinnamon roll!"
We'll see how things keep progressing. I had tomato soup with a roll for lunch today. That's all I've had so far and it's 7pm. We'll see if I eat any dinner. I know I should eat more. I need to. And it's not that I'm not trying to eat. It just still hurts so much to eat. And, stop reading now if you don't want any TMI: I've had to use the bathroom more then normal these past two days! Yes, I have diarrhea on top of it all. Ug.
Life sucks right now.
So, tomorrow will bring some lower numbers on the scale for me. Which I am so excited about. But the way with which I lost them have me wondering whether or not I can keep that number down and not go up. That will be my goal for Oct. Maintain my number. Here's to a healthy Oct!!

What to say?
Yeah. So . . . . . . I did absolutely nothing this week. Well, I did stuff, just not anything to do with loosing weight. I really have not got the motivation for it this week. I'm just being lazy. A lot of it is stress about the surgery. Which is silly because if I just work out, it will help to relieve the stress!! Bah!
I know I want to loose weight. I do. Really. I just don't know how much of a priority it is to me. This is my thinking, "I want to loose at least another 15lbs before I get pregnant again. But when do I want to get pregnant again?" This could be some more TMI, but last time it look 7 months of trying before I got pregnant. Anywho, that is my goal. It would just be nice to get rid of the 15lbs now and get rid of some more if I can. Last time I lost 15lbs in 3 months. Which is great. I'm still that weight. I have not gained, so I'm proud of that. But I know I can loose more. I should loose more. Now I'm just rambling. . . . . I'm trying not to think about my surgery tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll loose some weight that way! haha!

Things get crazy and I get lazy
I was doing pretty good for a while, going to the gym and/or doing my Kathy Smith. But of course, things always come up to where the excercise gets inconvient and so I use that as an excuse to not do it. Also, I'm using my surgery as an excuse, too. Bad, I know.
But what bugged me from the get go is that the very next day after weigh ins, I weighed myself and I was 173. Same the next day and the next. I was so bugged. I am now officially 2lbs heavier from weigh in and it sucks!!! Even if I just started at 173 and didn't gain, I would have been okay. Oh well. Gives me more of a reason to work harder!
My dad says that after I am better from my surgery he will come home from his work (he works the graveyard shift) and we will go workout together before he goes home to bed. I think this is a great idea! I would love to spend more time with my dad. He has recently been diagnosed with diabetes, so I am hoping we can motivate each other to keep it up.

Heart Rate
On Monday my husband got some medicine that makes us need to keep track of his heart rate and blood pressure. His mother is a nurse and has a cuff that takes both of those electronically. We have brought this home to use for the 2 week trial period of this new medicine. Well, just for fun I put it on today and was surprised at what it said:
98/58 bp-106,
then 98/63 bp-108 hr,
again 100/63 bp-100 hr,
and 114/75 bp-112 hr.
Hm..... so he called his brother who is a firefighter/paramedic with Orem and asked him what this meant. From what I understand he said that my heart is pumping a lot more because it is weak. It should be pumping harder and not as much. I didn't really get that. My husband had to explain: It's like squeezing something very lightly, but fast. What you want is it squeezing harder, but less often.
Ahhhh..... OKay.
Basically, I need to EXERCISE! Big fat surprise!
I was so glad to hear it. I am hoping that this bit of info will give me more determination to continue to exercise. I don't want to fizzel out after a few months, I want to keep it up. It will be a bit rough starting the middle of this month. I am going in on the 18th to get my tonsils out. I've heard, time and time again, that this takes a while to recover from. The Dr. said I will be miserable for 2 weeks and should feel 100% after 1 month!! I know! I'm not looking forward to this. I haven't had surgery since I was 4 when I had tubes put in my ears. I am so nervous!
At the gym I ran today. It felt really good to run. I really enjoy it. I hate to admit this on here, but we're friends, right? I hate running soley for the fact that my boobs hurt when I do. I am a size G cup, so I'm basically knocking myself in the face while I run. It's really hard to find good, solid, sturdy running bras. But I know if I loose weight, I'll loose some boobage, too. Sorry if that was a little TMI. I tend to do that. :)
Here's to a great tomorrow!!
