Some Quick Updates October 16, 2007

Broke my soda diet weekend before last. Had a can of Pepsi. Mmmm…glorious pepsi. It was twice as bad, as I was in a vegetative state playing Halo 3.
Missed the gym last Tuesday, and Wednesday. (My normal make up day is the day right after) because of a wicked flu. Did make it on Thursday but the workout was poor at best. The swimming was fun, I forgot my shorts and towel so I bailed into the pool in my track pants. Wicked. I love our lifeguards – the one on duty taunted me for forgetting my stuff until I jumped in.
This week is looking up – I’m feeling better and looking forward to a workout. I bought hand-wraps. I’m going to buy bag gloves next paycheque, and perhaps target pads too. Wal-Mart might be evil in many ways, but it brings us true department store purchasing to our little store – now I don’t have to order things like this.
I know Ken will be all about doing target pad work with me on gym nights. I might have to start getting there a bit earlier – extra things are taking up more time – though I could do pads instead of jogging sometimes as long as I keep it high energy enough.
My overall diet is sucking – this next couple weeks is going to be the “kick it into better shape” time. Meaning I forsake a bit more junk food, choose a few more leafy greens and try to eat at home more often. I’m not going to make any major changes, but just eating at home can be a great change in itself.
I should start my new bottle of Hydroxycut. I keep forgetting. That means I have to give up coffee though. Ick.
*mmm….coffffffeeeeee.*
Allergies? September 26, 2007

Yesterday about 11am I felt like I had something stuck in my throat, while I was on the phone with a customer. After hanging up it wouldn’t go away, I went into the bathroom to cough. The coughing turned into puking, with blood and of course insulation from blowing in the crawlspace this weekend.
My coworker Vijay took me to the hospital emergency room, and they found my throat was swelling, so they gave me a big needle of benedryl. It seemed to do it’s job, and I could soon enough breathe normally. I went to see my Dr. after, and she figures it was an allergic reaction of some sort, but I wasn’t stung, and didn’t eat anything or inhale anything that I can imagine causing a reaction to me, especially as I’ve never been allergic to anything like that in the past.
Needless to say, it was a bit scary, but since I’m well known at emerge it wasn’t too bad. I got to see Lori’s mom. ;)
That meant I missed my gym day yesterday, so it’s going to throw off my schedule this week. I’ll go tonight instead, but that means I’ll probably move my thursday workout to friday to give me a day off in between. Maybe not though, we’ll see how it goes.
Tonight will be attempt two at my circuit training routine. I found some new exercises I can add in my copy of Men’s Health too, in the Jason Statham article. So after a couple months I have some extras to rotate in and change up my workout.
