Superwoman Days.....

Let's be honest here....the past few days...o.k, o.k,...the past week or so have been pretty crappy. I have been under the weather and my attitude towards everything has been horrible! Dealing with my husband's ex, having to deal with the wonderful (sarcasm here) people at the local cable/internet company, combined with really overdoing it at the gym last week, and then getting sick has not made me a very pleasant person to be around.

But TODAY....woke up and all was right with the world! You ever have those days when you wake up smiling? That's how today has been. I'm not feeling funky anymore, except for a lingering cough. I was able to ride my exercise bike 5 miles before heading into work which helps to put me into that "I can conquer the world" mode.

The weather out has been super hot, but no worries...I am grateful that I work somewhere where the air conditioner works, I have an air conditioner in my car, and a house that (finally) stays cool.

I was able to do day 3 video of the 28 day bootcamp (now that my computer is up and running), and get in some additional strength exercises.

I haven't been able to exercise for the past few days and didn't realize how much I actually missed it and the "buzz" you get from a good workout.

A friend of mine that I haven't seen in almost a year came by the house today. She looked at me and said "Wow, you have really lost some weight!" It's kinda weird hearing that all the time from people. But then she went on to say as she was leaving, "I'm sorry I'm staring, I just can't believe how great you look". I can't lie...I like the compliments. And why shouldn't I? I've worked hard to get where I am!

It feels good to be back.....

Blah, Blah, Blah and other uninteresting stuff....

I don't know why, but it seems just as soon as I get over one thing and think...Yay!, I can get back to a good workout routine....something else just seems to slap me in the face.

This past Wednesday, my PT kicked my butt with the squats that my thighs were sore for days. I mean cringe when you get up from a chair kind of sore. I even had trouble just getting into bed without doing some adjustments. I bought a new dance DVD on Friday and my legs felt good enough to give it a try on Saturday.

Alright....back in the action!!!

Slap....Slap....Slap! (That's the slap in my face that knocked me to the ground).

Woke up yesterday with my nose stopped up, my ears were stopped up, felt dizzy and thought surely my head weighed 50 lbs. All in all.....I just felt like crap. No working out for me....sigh.

Went to work today even though I was still pretty much out of it. My energy has just been zapped.... And as much as I want to ride my bike, do some strength training or my DVD, I think I better not. Hoping to feel better tomorrow and be able to get moving.

The weight is not going to come off with me just sitting here - but I'm also not going to push myself too hard when I'm not feeling well just to end up feeling worse.

Will be back in the saddle again soon!
