Three Things Thursday

1. Today is my first day at work this week after being sick. After writing my post Sunday morning, I went to the doctor. I had a horrible case of sinusitis that had made it to my chest. I got a shot, plus three prescriptions and was sent to bed. I slept from Sunday at 3pm until Tuesday at 10:30 am. all but about two hours. And napped off and on all day Tuesday. Wednesday, I layed around most of the day still not feeling that great. Today I am still not 100%, but felt well enough to get back to work.   I am going to skip the gym again today to give myself a little more time to recuperate, and plan to start the 30 Day challenge again on Saturday.

2.  My food has been crazy this week. I haven't felt like eating much, but what I have had to eat certainly wasn't the best. I usually food shop during the weekend, but since I was sick I never got it done. Tommy has just been picking up whatever each day. I am heading to the grocery after work today, and will be cooking again tonight.

3.  Hope everyone has a wonderful St. Patty's Day :) Hope you have your green on :)

SICK :(

My head cold is sticking around, and moving toward my chest. As much as I hate to, I am going to skip tonight's run. I may have to skip tomorrow, too. But once I am feeling better, I will start back over with Day1 of the 30 Day challenge.  I made it 12 Days! :)

Three Things Thursday with a cherry on top!

1. I was so excited to receive a sweet blog award from one of my favorite bloggers, Rae.

The Rules:
1. Answer this question: If you had the chance to go back and change one thing in your life, would you and what would it be?

I would like to be one of those people that can say I live my life without regrets, but that is not my truth. I live with many regrets...though I am so happy with what my life has become in the last few years.  If I could change just one thing though, I think it would be that for too long in my life, I gave certain people a priority that didn't deserve it. Now, I try to live my life fully thankful for the people who mean the most to me...the ones who love me as much as I love them. I have an amazing husband and a handful of friends that mean the world to me...and the other people just really don't matter as much. Why worry what the world thinks of you, only strive to be the best person for yourself and the ones you love.

2. The second thing you have to do is, pick 6 people and give them this award. You then have to inform the person that they have gotten this award.

I know this is a slack way of doing this, but I feel like I have seen this award on almost all of the blogs I read. If you haven't received this award, please accept it from me...and let me know! :)

3. The third and final thing is, thank the person who gave you the award.
Thank you, Rae! I am not sure if I found your blog, or if you found mine, but I am glad we found each other. I am so glad to be on this journey with you!

(Now back to our regularly schedules Three Things Thursday.)

2.  I am feeling better today, but definitely not back to 100%  I decided to workout  before taking my first dose of antibiotics for the day and I think that was a good decision. The meds wipe me out. This morning I was able to get in Week 2 Day 2 of the Couch to 5k and a few miles on the bike. I also did day 2 of the 30 day shred. By the end I was worn out!  The rest of the day I ran a few errands and relaxed.

3. This is a bit gross, but a question for the other runners. Do any of you have toenail issues? I generally keep my toenails trimmed down pretty short. A few months after I started running on a regular basis I noticed one toenail growing kind of funky! It was normal at the base of the toenail but super thick into the nail bed. ( I don't think I am describing this well...) I have clipped on that poor toenail all summer trying to make it look better, to no avail. Last night, Tommy ended up clipping off the top part of the nail. It was like the whole nail came off, but there is a nail underneath that is a bit rough, but it's a full toenail. Then we discovered the other foot's same toe is starting to do it. The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with running. If you can understand at all what I am trying to explain here (lol) have any of you had issues with this?

Sick-

Last night at the gym my throat felt a little funny, but I didn't think much of it.This morning when I got up,my ears were kind of bothering me and my throat felt really scratchy. I decided to bite the bullet and see if the doctor could fit me in today so that I could nip this in the bud. An hour and a half at the doctor's office,two shots, and two antibiotics later I am officially "sick." The doc said she was very happy that I decided to come on in because the throat issues could have turned into strep if I had waited too long. I have ear infections in both ears. I don't have any fever and honestly other than a little fatigue and the scratchy throat I don't feel too bad. Today will be my official rest day from exercise. Tomorrow I will play it by ear....if nothing else I want to get in my 30 Day Shred routine since it is the first day of the challenge. I am hoping the shots will do their magic and I will be feeling fine tomorrow and can continue with the fall exercise routine. But I will not push myself too hard. I took a sick day, and tomorrow starts my "vacation" from work through the end of the week. So I should have plenty or recovery time :) I'm off to have soup and liquids! Hope y'all have a great day!
