Hi there ^_^

[nangiggles]

It's almost too much togetherness but this job pays a LOT more than his old one, I started 2 yrs ago and then he came like 7 months ago

Eating oatmeal for breakfast and snack, no sugar no additives... takes like hell but the cake was yummy, trade was worth it

For lunch I'm having some brown rice and some garlic and cilantro marinated chicken ^_^ no veggies, didn't have enough time my dogs pups are killing me... gotta get up every 2 hours and feed them

Interesting... hadn't checked my weight in a couple of weeks (at least 2) and I ahd missed the gym due to my cold gone bad/laringitis... yet today I weight myself at the Dr's office at work and it seems I lost 5.5 pounds.... interesting

Yesterday my cold bit me in the ass at the gym, can't keep going.... Dr and trainer already warned me...
I'm gonna have to inflate the weird little toga ball I have at home....

Yoga ball was too small to be useful :s Still can't go to the gym, hope fully Sunday and Monday I can swim and workout...

(This is starting to feel like a monologue)

Oh goodness, please forgive me/us. LOL!
I'm laughing because you're right. I'd think the same thing and I'm glad you spoke it. I just learned something here! I'd have kept my mouth shot and moped! LOLOL!

Nan, this is the time you have to take the time to recover. I know we all think if we stop going to the gym for a week, all will fall apart, but it wont. In fact you'll come back with renewed energy and stronger. Is like when we go on vacation, we come back to work full charged. I hope you get better soon, my friend!

Lo siento!!! We are seriously slacking in this thread.
I understand what you're saying about the gym.
I have ALWAYS had a hard time getting to the gym. Missouri weather is the WORST. My schedule is always INSANE.
I came up with some ways to stay on track with or without the gym. Plus, it keeps my body guessing since its all so random.
I go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week but do a bunch of stuff at home, school and work.
I made some "rules" of habit. When I'm at work:
If I drop a patient off at the hospital, I do 10 pushups in the EMS lounge before I get back on the ambulance (I drop of several patients a day when I'm working).
I ALWAYS take the stairs when going to pick up a patient. When you consider that the bag I usually carry weighs about 70 pounds, it really gets the heart rate up. It's funny because on emergency calls, I always get to the patient faster than the EMS workers taking the elevator because its "faster",lol.

On the days I don't work (like when I'm in school):
I do pushups as soon as I wake up. I have a certain way that I do them, but usually equals a total of 50.
If I don't get to the gym, I run on my treadmill.
I mix this up,2. Once a week, I do a long, slower jog for about 40 minutes. The other days that I use the threadmill, I alternate with timed intensity stuff (kinda like HIIT).
I also do tabata stuff with dumbells. This is GREAT for the legs, arms, back....well, almost everything. Really helps with the heavy lifting I need to do at work (HEAVY patients..always live on the 3rd floor and REFUSE to walk. Its a rule).

It's easy to get some stuff done. Just think of some things that might work for YOU because we are all a little different.
BUT if you need a rest day, TAKE IT. If not, your body will punish you for it later.

What the Dr told me was that I can't get my heart rate too high, since I have a deviated septum I breathe mostly through my mouth and considering my throat is irritated if I do this I get into a coughing fit..... If I breath through my mouth I don't get enough oxigen and get week, also due to the A/C at work my nose is totally dry so (do to the cold) if I blow my nose it has blood.... breathing is such a freaking issue right now

Went back to the gym this week, damn my legs hurt also went swimming on Monday, was soooooo nice.....

Hi Nancy .

I had a deviated septum to makes it very hard to breath at times very hard when your eating to fast lol.

Mine got very bad coz you only breath through 1 side the skin at the end of your nasal passage inside gets hit with twice the air drying it out , than it cracks and bleeds , gets infected and is just not fun , mine became so bad i got the surgery cover by health care and had it straightened .

I have been following along with your thread for awhile but never had anything to say until now , so hi again.

Hi ^_^

Well yes it's pretty annoying to have that, I've had surgery twice (once as a child once as a teen) they even removed some bone tissue to improve airflow (this is the reason why it hurst so much when I sneeze, which also makes me make a noise that sounds like you stepped on a chihuahua's foot... )
yet I still can't breath right... maybe some day I'll give it a third shot.... the gym has been better though I can now breath more through my mouth so I'm doing pretty good
