closing night time, Jerry and that i had been mendacity down and watching a show earlier than mattress (ok, it become Hoarders--we adore that show!) and once I stood lower back up, I couldn't breathe out of one nose. So i was getting congested. I needed to hold clearing my throat, too, because I could sense a put up-nasal drip sensation in my throat.
This morning, I felt numerous strain in my head, and that i can not flavor some thing. I took Airborne, I downed three cups of tea with honey, drank lots of water, and simply didn't sense any higher. I still have not felt any symptoms in my chest, however, which is ideal! as long as the cold stays in my head, i'm able to run on Sunday.
After lunch, I decided to visit urgent Care to see if there was some thing I could do. I thought it would not harm to check for strep throat. The wait at pressing Care changed into lengthy, and i used to be tempted to get up and leave, but I had already paid my co-pay.
I subsequently noticed the medical doctor, and defined what became going on. I advised him i'd in no way typically visit urgent care for a bit bloodless like this, however i am alleged to run a marathon on Sunday. He checked me out thoroughly (together with checking out for strep, which turned into poor), and ended up giving me injections--an antibiotic and a steroid. That combo labored wonders for me more than one instances within the past five years or so while i have had these signs. He turned into assured i'd be proper to go with the aid of Sunday.
frame fats turned into 24.2%, that's down 0.5%.
Waist changed into simply shy of 27 inches--I virtually should just degree as soon as a month, because the weekly modifications are minute.
average, a awesome weigh in! i am almost again within the 130's which i have not seen in a long time. I think it become may also? this is whilst my summer season weight gain started.
For those of you that asked approximately my frame fat monitor, it's through Omron, and i purchased it on Amazon. there may be a hyperlink to it on my "preferred matters" web page. this is the same one we used after I worked at Curves, and i found it to be pretty accurate. here is a submit I where I wrote a touch greater approximately it.
For next week's weigh in, i am simplest hoping to at the least stay the equal. Rik is going to be right here from Friday until Monday. I nonetheless plan on counting my PointsPlus, however we are going to los angeles Pita on Friday for dinner; Saturday, we're carb-loading with pasta; Sunday is the race, after which likely pizza and beer for dinner. My weight additionally goes a little out of whack when I do a sincerely longer term, and i suppose a marathon counts as a long term. I won't be disappointed if I don't shed pounds next week, and that i may not even be disappointed if I advantage a bit--key phrase being "little". however i'm running out a plan in order that I do not move overboard.
Sunday will mark six weeks of no peanut butter! i'm almost a little scared to devour it once more, for worry of going overboard. however i will must come up with a plan to paintings it back into my eating regimen. i am virtually going to have the peanut butter flavored GU on the marathon! :)
My brother Brian is on the town till Friday (until he makes a decision to go away the following day). I hinted (now not very subtly) that i would love for him to come back returned to Detroit on Sunday for my race. He said he needs to be at domestic on Saturday, but he may are available in for my race. (That commonly nearly always method no). however if I happen to peer him Sunday, I suppose it would placed a little pep in my step!
properly, I should get my residence cleaned up, so when Rik receives here, he does not assume Jerry and that i watch Hoarders for redecorating suggestions ;)
