Update- It's been a roller coaster
The last few weeks have wiped me out I think. The long drive and overnight trip to NC a few weeks ago, Easter at my Mom's, etc and very busy at work which is highly unusual for this time of year (for fires.) My office is getting clobbered by storm claims, wind claims, etc. But those usually don't affect me. I have felt tired and moody and blah and unmotivated and fatigued these last few weeks, all symptoms of the stress and also the menopause. Did have a couple of mild hot flashes. Nothing major. But the fatigue is bothering me and affecting my life right now.
We went to Mom's for Easter dinner. Took Kona with us to play with her new buddy, Max. My two brothers and sister did not go. My Aunt Carol (mom's sister who moved up here from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and live with me for 6 mos until she got a job and an apartment) came with us. I did end up going to the Beauty Bash at QVC this past weekend with my mom. Apparently my sister Annette got 2 tickets for my mom. They started putting my new roof on and skylights in yesterday. VERY noisy. Poor Kona is hiding with all the hammering. She was in the closet all day yesterday as they did over my office. Today they were over the bedrooms, so she stayed in my office under my feet. I went out front and looked as the front is now done. It is gorgeous. I feel like I have a new house. It made such a huge difference. Got 50 year architectural shingles. I will have to take photos when done.
My allergies have kicked in with a vengeance and my head is all plugged up. My dark blue car turned "green" over night since it is covered in pollen. I can't park in my garage until the roof is done. My left knee is bothering me and my jaw (both sides) feels "twangy." I can't describe it any other way but "twangy." Maybe inner ear issues due to allergies?
Food has been really terrible and I gained 2 1/2 lbs back. Exercise hasn't been too bad. Today, food was really good. Under my 1400 calories. I did Wii Walk It Out for an hour. No bingeing today! Day 1 down. I did go to Wegmans with my Mom Sunday and bought some more of those 16 calorie Coco Pops.
My coworker and friend Kathy passed away after a long battle with cancer. I felt so sick Monday AM with sinuses and headache etc, I did not go to funeral. Would have been 1 hr drive each way. I got 4 fires last week and 2 so far today. Ugh! My one customer is in critical condition due to burns and smoke inhalation. So this week is kind of putting things in perspective for me to appreciate life.
I am starting to get back on track with reading journals and catching up with everyone. Please bear with me. I fell so far behind. But I feel behind with everything right now. My house is a mess too. Like I said, blah and unmotivated these last few weeks. I did walk 111 miles last month. My goal was 105 miles. This month my goal is 110. Thank you Laura, my April walking buddy!
