We Kin Get Thin!

Still feeling crappy.  I'm still sick, though remarkably better. But my knee(s) are even worse.
I had to cancel my plans for tonight (shopping, which I really wanted to do! I loves me some shopping), and I had to cancel my training for tomorrow morning.  (not.happy.)

If this new pain lasts through the weekend, I'll have to make an appt with the orthopedist I guess. Doesn't seem to be much to do about it, though. They tell me to wear a brace, but if I wear a brace I can't bend my leg, and I can't work out. At least with the normal, moderate pain I can still work out.

Blah blah, bitching bitching.  Sorry :-)

Its just been a crappy week all around, and I'll be glad when Joel comes back, my knees forgive me, I can breathe through my nose, and all those other lovely things that I take for granted!

My Mom, Auntie, and I will be making a fabulous & fancy meal tomorrow, and I promise to take pictures!  So the mood will lighten up here shortly, I am sure! 

I hate tonsillitis. :-(  It's rearing it's ugly inflamed head.   When it starts flaring up, I just feel sick, like I'm getting the flu, kind of sick.  So training last night sucked because of it. I barely sweat past my collar. (typically, the sweat reaches past the bewbs!)

Luckily, it's just the tonsils, though.  No flu.   So I'll feel better in a day or so.

In the meantime... tomorrow is my weigh in! I'm getting nervous! I got a lot less exercise in this week than ever before, and I was up six pounds at the beginning of the week!

Y'all better wish me some major luck! :-)

I am sick again. :-( That. Sucks.

I missed training on Saturday, and I've canceled my session for tomorrow as well.

So now I feel gross because I am sick, and I also feel gross because I haven't worked out since Friday!

BLURGH!

I hope you all had a better weekend than me!

I had a lovely Thanksgiving! I hope you all did too! Now, unfortunately, I am sick :-( I had to cancel training this morning, which makes me very sad. But I woke up with a horrible fever and aching everything. I sure hope it doesn't last long.

Anyway, back to nicer things :-) Turkey Day pics!











Yesterday, I put up the little Xmas decorations I do. I don't bother with a christmas tree, so I just decorate the door.


(yes, thats me, in my gyming outfit!)



Well, back to being sick and pathetic for me! c-ya!

I am quite bummed! I am sick as a dog today. So much that I had to cancel my training session tonight. I hate canceling. I hate not being where I am supposed to be, when I am supposed to be there. It kills me! I am all for pushing through a little sickness, but I've got a fever and all that jazz, so I'm just gonna sit this one out. Lame, though.

Today is our Soup Or Stew Throwdown at work today, I dropped mine off early this morning, hit the dentist, and then came back home to stew in my own germs.

So, let me tell you about my Corn Chowder!
I made a jalapeno bacon corn chowder. I warn you, no part of this soup is healthy. NO PART!
But, you guys love a good food pic, so I am sharing it anyway.

Adam choppin' taters with my new knives! These things cut through potatoes like warm butter! I kid you not!

All of our sous chefs


So, some bacon, onions, jalapenos, potatoes, butter, spices,corn & cream later -
we had A LOT of freakin' chowdah.


It came out delicious. But much spicier than I'd intended. I'm not at work to watch its performance, so I hope it does well!

As Janetha would say... Yay & Nay!

YAY : Mr Scale read 240.0 this morning!!! I hope it sticks! (and then some, would be nice)

NAY : I am very sick this morning. With very angry tonsils. Stupid tonsils.

YAY : Trainer Bob gave me a gift cert. for an HOUR massage for my birthday!! How amazingly awesomely nice is that?!

YAY : Had a good training session with Bob last night.

NAY : I still get worbly in the belly during some exercises. And that sucks.

YAY : Fatty asked me to write up a few exercise routines for him to do. That's fun!

YAY : I have WAY more YAY's than NAY's today! (though, being sick is a pretty huge nay.

Also in true Janetha style (she's got lots of it!)
Leave me a comment with one YAY and one NAY from your day!

...I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired. I *thought* today's dentist appt was to put the filling into my root canal hole, but today was actually the root canal itself. Saturday was more like a pre-root canal. How nice. So I still have to go back twice, once to get my filling/crown, and another for my nightguard fitting.

The pain sucks, the drugs suck, but what bothers me the most is the not being able to anything. For the past FIVE days I have done nothing. Nothing but sit around, hold my head, and take pills.
I haven't gone beading, I haven't gone to work, I haven't even left the house so far as to check the mail. Yuck.

So, right now, I am waiting for my pills to kick in so I can go to bed and trying to psych myself up into feeling that I am going to be 100% better tomorrow. That I am going to kick ass at work, and then kick ass at training.

Hey, it could happen!

Anyways, I guess this is my official - I'm BACK! message. But I'm sure I'll be whining some more tomorrow ;)

Thank you SO SO SO much for your kind get well words the past few days. It's been really nice!

I hate that when you are sick, it only takes a few hours before you completely forget what it felt like to be well.
It's amazing.

It's been a pretty miserable weekend all together. I've been very sick, and the non stop snow has been (is being, still!) horrible.
I've got almost 3 feet of snow on my back deck. Poor pups don't know what to do with themselves!

I had lots of holiday plans I had to cancel, and that stinks. I had A LOT of work to do this weekend, and I couldn't get to the office, and I couldn't do what I needed on my laptop.

Well, enough bitching from me.
I was supposed to weigh in tomorrow, and prior to Friday I was excited about it.
However, I have decided to wait even one more week. I feel disgusting, and I'd rather weigh in on an optimistic day, so if it hasn't moved, at least my mood will carry me through ;-)

I hope your weekends were better than mine... and Melissa, I hope you are feeling better!

Today, I seem to be coming down with a cold. YUCK. Now, I have chronic tonsillitis, which means that any time I get a little ol' cold, it turns into a very painful strep-throat-like condition. Typically that means that I eat nothing but popsicles for a couple days. But, I'm low carb!! What to doooo?

Well I came home today and immediately made some soup out of whatever I could find.
I found - some leftover slow-cooked lamb, celery, chayote, onion, garlic, canned chopped tomatoes, and a boatload of seasonings. This somehow made a very incredible soup.

If I remember, I will take a picture of it!

It felt nice going down, too :-)

Sadder than being is sick, is that Corgi seems to have a bug too. She is barfin' and doesn't seem very happy :-(

Though, I don't know who could be happy with this blizzard happening outside.
