Another Day, Another Meal.

Greek Salad + Turkey Sammich > Taco Bell

It was a more difficult decision than it sounds. Mind over matter.

I’m so sick.

This sucks. I haven’t been eating like crap, but then again I haven’t been eating much of anything other than soup and easy to swallow food. I hope no one else gets this sickness. It’s so much more difficult to motivate myself to get out of bed,and get stuff done. Ahhh… :/

Sick.

I am hardcore to the max full out SICK.

Whatever the hell it is I caught is some sort of raging germ, because this thing progressed in ONE DAY. The weirdest part: I felt it all happen today.

Background: I took my friend to the ER on sunday because she completely lost her voice. They said she didn’t have strep or laryngitis, but prescribed her some steroids because they thought her vocals were having some sort of allergic reaction. WELL. The steroids turned off her immune system for the most part, which means that the sickness practically took over her body for 2 days before she decided to stop taking them. She improved over the last day from taking Emergen-C and Airborne. My roommate on the other hand caught the cough part from my friend, and he went from perfect to walking zombie in ONE DAY. I swear, this sickness is not a joke. He went to the ER to be told he has bronchitis. Also, the day receptionist I take over for in the evening went home early today because her doctor told her she too is sick and needs to stay home. 3 people. One day.

My symptoms: Throat hurts, coughing, achy sinus’s, slightly runny nose, body aches, body chills, headache, and overall clouded.

My rememdie so far: Chicken noodle soup, water, warm tea, a glass of airborne, cough drops, and an outfit consisting of a long sleeve shirt, socks, and a scarf… In my bed…in Florida.

I really hope no one else gets sick. I completely hate this.

Not a good day.

I got a new job (still have the old one) and I’ve been at this new one for 3 weeks and still haven’t got paid. I’m really pissed and really angry… And really tired and cranky and crampy. And I just want to have a good cry. Today was one of those days… The kind where it’s third day in a row of working nearly 12 hrs.. And to top it off, my husband has been awake for like 24+ hrs, playing Diablo 3 all day, and decided to crash when I got home. Thanks darling.

Tonight I sit in our living room, in the dark, crying, and drinking Malibu and coke… I know I know so dark and depressing, but I need a good cry… And Malibu? Seriously? It’s all I have at the moment.

I’m glad today is almost over.
And I really hope today was better for everyone else- I need hope.

You Know What?

I keep slacking like crazy when it comes to posting…
I’ve been slacking when it comes to posting, eating healthy, exercising, focusing, and effort.
But you know what?
I’m not going anywhere.
I’m going to keep trying- over and over and over.
Even if it takes me years.

Beacuse this kind of change is healthy.
Because years have already passed, so why not finally have my goals acheived this year.
But most of all:
Because giving up is like saying “forever”, while the dull moments are just “temporary”. 

Mind over matter.
Keep. On. Going.

Big Day.

Today is a big day. Do you know why?

Somewhere out there, someone is celebrating a birthday. Babies will be born. Happy couples will find out they are expecting. Someone might get their first kiss. Doctors will save lives. Someone will pass their driver’s test. Someone will win. Someone will get their college acceptance letter. Someone will be stepping on their first flight to Europe. And some people will make the decision to lead a healthier lifestyle- whether it be starting exercise and eating healthier, or joining AA, giving up smoking, or finally asking for help about drug abuse.

Today is a big day because we are alive and get to do wonderful amazing things. Make this day big by making yourself happy.

Good luck to Rachel (Eat-Pray-Run) on her 5k today! The feeling you get when you cross that finish line will be amazing :D

I hope everyone has a good Saturday!

PS- Moving day is finally here for me! YAYYYY

I Have Not Exercised

Because my body is exhausted! Like physically drained of all energy and color. Which is weird because I went to the grocery store a few days ago and have been eating like a health maniac and drinking water like there’s no tomorrow… Maybe the sudden change in healthy diet? A growth spurt? Getting sick? The off and on cloudy weather? I dunno.

I work a 9am-4pm shift tomorrow which is going to wear me out- it’s Freight Day Friday! (Freight Day = big ole truck full of palettes of big heavy boxes of merchandise) Friday’s are the hardest day of the work week, so I’m looking to get a good leg and arm workout… and hopefully without being cranky.

Although I have been feeling gray, I’m not hating myself too much for not going for a run. I’ve been eating healthy, and weighed in at 160.8 lbs the other day. Hopefully this exhaustion ends soon. I’m excited to log my happenings on Daily Mile!

As of tomorrow (which is in 2 minutes) there are 10 days til we get the keys to our new townhouse! Pictures will be posted :)

Happy Friday to everyone!
