Whew! It's my Birthday!!!

That's right, you read that title correctly. It's my birthday!!! I'm gonna party like it's 1984! Well not really, because then I was just a gooey twitching pile of baby in the hospital. But you get the idea. I've decided that I'm not going to count calories today. I will try to make the best decisions as I see fit, but I'm not going to sacrifice on my birthday. For all the Catholics out there, consider this my Fat Tuesday. Oooo I'll have to get a piece of king cake. I've been craving some so bad. I'll post about all my eating later.

I haven't worked out since Tuesday. Yesterday I was starting to feel sick, like the hard to breathe phlegmy kind of sick. I blame my husband for having bronchitis. I came home from work two hours early and took one of his pills and went to sleep. I slept for two hours in the living room recliner and then went and slept another two hours in my bedroom. It's crazy when you wake up at 7 at night and I'm like whoa...I slept that long?! I'm feeling better today, but I'm still not going to work out. We're going out of town this weekend to see my father-in-law for his birthday. I'm a little nervous about it because both my father-in-law and his girlfriend smoke and my husband and I both are sick with a respiratory infection. Those two together do not make me very happy. He said he'll talk to his dad about not smoking while we're there. I wonder how well that's gonna work. Anyways...tata! Have a great day everybody!!!

Wooo hoooo!!

Since the last time I posted a lot has happened! Well my husband went to the gym for the first time in two weeks because I made him get off his lazy butt and go workout, and he got my membership card from the guy at the front desk!!! I was shock/stunned to say the least, but I was also a little PO'd because I had spent the last two weeks trying very hard to get everything done so I could get into the gym and it was as easy as going in and asking for my card. Well poop. But YAY! Anyways, I've only worked out for one day (yesterday) and I took it easy. Half an hour on the bike and some crunch machine and triceps machine and back machine. Then I got called back to work! But that's another story. Today I had my stress test. It went great. He skipped the first couple of stages and put me straight into third (I think). First one I was doing was fine, second one okay this is tougher I'm feeling it more finding it a little harder to breathe, third one OMG man stop this thing I can't run!!! I believe that was stage five. Which I did about five seconds worth. He said my heart acted normally, it went up gradually with increased difficulty on the treadmill and it came down as I rested. So I'm all cleared to go with him, but I don't care if my primary care has to say because I have my membership and I will go to the gym tonight.

On a side note, has anybody noticed their weight drop like 3 or 4 pounds as soon as they start their period? I mean I knew I was retaining water, but damn. Anyways, down to 310!!! But I won't post that on the ticker until I'm done with my period at the end of the week. Then it will be official.
