FIRM This Fanny

Countdown

156.5 I have been the same weight for 3 days now. I am thrilled that I have gotten down to this weight but my goal was to get to 155 by 3/1. I hope I am down tomorrow. This month has been rough since I was sick during the first half. The headaches have started to subside but I think my exercising might have helped with that! Yippee!! The headaches were horrible - I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I have Super Charged Sculpting set for tomorrow. I am never very good with exercising during the weekends but I am trying very hard to keep to the C25K rotation.

Darn Computer

I am not lying when I say it takes 10 minutes for my computer to turn on and get booted up. Chris says I put too much junk on it and it needs to be completely wiped and cleaned. That would be a weekend worth of work for me to reinstall all my stuff. I need to get a computer service that will come out and just clean it up and make it more efficient. My computer isn’t even that old – 2ish years?

C25K Firm Rotation

Last Sunday I spent the whole day on the couch figuring out a workout plan. My treadmill workouts have been lame - I am barely exerting myself. The result is that I am so out of shape it isn't even funny! I hate that feeling of being cardiovascularly out of shape. I found this cool rotation that incorporates couch to 5 k and the firm. Here is the rotation Download c25k_firm_rotation.doc I have changed it so that I don't workout on Sundays. I finished the first week this week and it just about killed me. Majorly sore legs this week! At least I am getting some good workouts on my treadmill and still using the firm workouts.

Update

Well I went and got sick again last week. I think I still had a lingering infection from when I was sick at the end of December. Stupid me never went to the doctor to get on antibiotics and I think the sinus infection spread to my chest. Awful headaches. Droopy right eyelid. I went to the eyedoctor because I was afraid something was wrong but he couldn't find anything. Probably sinus problems. The family doctor gave me Imitrex for the headaches and didn't think I had a sinus infection. I know I had a sinus infection so I had to bug her to give me antibiotics. I'm now done with the antibiotics but still feeling on the verge of headaches all the time. My face hurts but I feel much better than last week! This is recovery week - minimal exercise - 20 minutes on the treadmill everyday this week.

On Plan Sat

160.5 (0) Ugh I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't down today. I had a good day yesterday - especially considering it was Saturday. I usually have a 'free meal' on Saturdays but Chris was willing to make a low-carb meal for me so I figured I'd be good. I was hoping it would pay off but I was the same weight. I guess I shouldn't complain considering most Sundays I am usually up. I really want to get out of the 60's this week! Next Saturday is my sister's birthday so we will probably go out this week for her bd.

She is so motivated so that is definitely helping me stay on track. I sort of feel like I am catching a cold - man I hope I am wrong! Maybe it's just sinus congestion. My chest feels a bit tight but I am not going to focus on this.

I am making chili today for the Superbowl tonight. I did a pool from work where you fill in the boxes. I bought 5 boxes so I am going to win :) Kel wants to hang out this afternoon. I guess Brian is giving her the afternoon off with the kids since he was away last week.

Missing Husband

My husband and his brother are starting a new website. Chris is doing the programming part and his brother is doing more of the ‘business’ side. They have hit a snag with their web hosting choice because Chris needs certain features in order to program the website correctly and his brother is taking the business side and focusing primarily just on cost. Ugh this whole project makes me a bit nervous! It’s driving me nuts though because Chris is spending all of his free time upstairs working on this site.  

Rainy Day

160.5 (-.5) Good weigh-in today. I just hope I can get down to 160 by tomorrow. I got suckered into sleeping at my sister's house again last night. Thank God her husband is coming home tonite. I need to sleep in my own bed or I feel like sh*t. I have the worse headache today and just feel like going to bed - and it's only 12:30p! Chris has been virtually invisible lately. He is upstairs in his office working all of the time and the few minutes that he does come downstairs he nags me about studying programming (I'm learning SQL). He puts me down all the time ... "I'm not looking at you being my saviour or anything" .. lovely comment huh! He wants me to learn programming so that I can help him do some of the work yet he expects me to learn .NET programming in a weekend ... not happening! I am so sick of him lately. He moans and bitches that he has too much work yet he never says no. He says it is because we need the money .. we aren't that desparate. Sex sucks lately too .. ugh ... need. to. lose. weight.

Health Insurance

It is a depressing, rainy day here in NJ yet it is Friday! I had grand plans of going out today and getting my nails done but now I just don’t feel like leaving the house. So ends up I am sitting by my computer working – doing my small group medical quotes. Quite an exciting job I have huh?! But I've been doing it for 6 years so I can't complain too much.

Health insurance is so important to have and I really feel for people out there that don’t have it. Prices are getting pretty expensive though. NJ health insurance is much different than say Illinois family health insurance. Since the prices are going up insurance companies are making more and more complicated plans in order to keep prices down. It is so important to truly understand what plan you are going to choose. We now have an HRA – this plan is so confusing! Considering I have to go to the doctor soon for these stupid headaches I guess I better read up more on them (it will help my job too!)
