Swimming Upstream

Wokcano Long Beach does it again.

E&J...oh and a lil egg nog.

And so the struggle has begun. I promised myself I’d be real on this blog, not just publish the good days or the days I’m on top of things, but the days I struggled too. And you can count the struggling days now as three consecutive. I have not exercised at all for three straight days when the goal was to do so each week day this week. The first day I missed I had a massive headache that never subsided, coupled with stresses at home. Day two, same headache coupled with stomach and back pain, more stresses at home. Day three, exhaustion, back and neck very stiff, pain lingering, stresses at home. So I’ll be looking into some ways on getting pain free but for now it stopped me in my tracks. The good thing diet wise is that I didn’t eat much for 3 days. It’s not the way I want to loose weight but I felt so bad I really had no appetite. Each day I’d eat a half bowl of cereal and some crackers, (enough to take my blood pressure medicine), for a full day and any more than that brought on nausea. So now getting my appetite back a bit I did have ½ a plate of Chinese food appetizers along with some miso soup, (thanks Wokcano….again.)  Later I had some pudding topped with granola and ended it with liquored up egg nog. Gotta celebrate Christmas don’t I? So getting back on track tomorrow. One great thing this blog is doing for me is somehow making me feel good about the good things I’m sticking to. I’ll take that.
