Slackin'

I am, yet again, ill. This year has been a tough one for getting sick. Normally I only get sick once a year and that's been "normal" to me. But early January (during my training for my half marathon) I got asthmatic bronchitis and it was really severe. It HAD to stop working out, start asthma products (i do not have asthma) and took 4 wks of antibiotics. Took me 6 wks to feel normal again and get back to workouts. Well my md said since it was so severe and I STILL smoke, that I would have risidual affects from it. THAT is very true! I've had a cold and/or lung issues about 3x since Feb. It's ridiculous. But I"m aware it is ignorant of me to continue to smoke. So about a week ago I felt a head cold coming on. I upped vitamins, upped  my water, BUT I still continued to be sleep deprived (that's a norm for me). So the lack of sleep I think helped this "cold" to take over my system. Within days I became violently ill. Throwing up, fever, cold sweats, horrendous cough, etc. It blows! The 2nd day I was sick (before it got bad) was when I did my run outside. I think that might've made it worse too but I dunno for sure. :-/ So now I am too sick to run, I've taken naps whenever I get the chance AND tried a few diff OTC products. I'm still pretty damn sick right now which sucks for any form of workouts, workouts for the challenge, and training for the 5k in Chi-town! Ugh! I don't know what to do with myself. I really beat myself up when I don't follow through with my own plans.

Now for random pic fun!

At the party store getting Riley's bday party decorations last weekend...

THAT would be my man, on the far right in the solid black jersey! :D He's TALL, hehehehe, 6'3" :D And he's REALLY good at hockey! I will eventually post a pic of us together or of him when I think he won't mind being spotlighted on my blog...

Been playin w/ diff ways to fix my hair (other than just straight) since I'm determined to let it grow out now! Went for wavy here for my neice's 7th bday party!

For fun, this is me 1 year ago!

Me and the boys at neice's birthday party! My boys are getting so dang big! Konnor is growing UP and thinning out and it's just insane to me how big they are! *LOVE*

So back to band related stuff, I'm loose and it suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks! Still no health insurance so I can't afford a fill yet but the first time I have the extra cash I'll be getting a fill. I had one episode ( at that above bday party) where I ate 4 SLICES OF PIZZA! I know, I'm awful! But it was a moment of mental weakness AND I realized my band is not on point either. So all in all, I'm slackin' and off cilter like majorly! So other than that I'm still drinking 1 monster a day AND skipping meals, also eating too much when I do eat. I'm trying to make good choices but all in all I need to get on a good routine again!

Speaking of bad habits...L smokes electric or vapor cigarettes. He has been for about the last year. So once he knew I was a smoker, he wanted me to try his b/c it's "healthier". Basically they still have the nicotine (for the addiction) but none of the tar and other bad stuff. So I did try his and liked it so we'd share when we were together. Well last time I saw him I was leaving his house and he had a ups package on the porch and he got all excited! He had ordered me my own set of e-cigs. They are 2 cig things (rechargeable) w/ like 8 diff "filters" that holds the nicotine and flavor, a carrying case thing, and 2 chargers. HE IS SO DAMN GOOD! So I have been using them about half the day, trying to get used to it to fully switch over!

hehe, me and my e-cig! hehe!

That green part holds the flavor and the nicotine and it's changeable! He gave me 4 diff flavors!

So yesterday I smoked about half and half, so maybe only 8 reg cigarettes all together. My doctor does approve of these! :) And they will help me to run faster once I get some of that tar out of my lungs and also will HOPEFULLY help get rid of the risidual affects from bronchitis earlier this year! I'm so glad L blessed me with these!

Let's end with a silly pic...I need this! hehe!

Peace, love, and Happiness!!!
