another sore throat

Monday, March 15, 2010

here i am, march 15, and i woke up with a sore throat, again, i think this is my third or possibly fourth bout with this since before christmas.
i am going to see my doctor today and have her do a culture to see if i have strep throat, because after two rounds of antibiotics in the last two months, it just keeps coming back.
could be allergies, except, the sore throat usually lasts about six to eight days and i usually develop a slight cold as well, anyway, its rainy and dreary cold here today, but, i will try to make the most of it, its kinda hard to feel like getting in a workout when u are sick

  


a little ticked off

Sunday, March 14, 2010

ok, why is it that twice now, i have done an activity and havent been given my points for it? like just now i watched an inspirational video, for 10 points but i didnt get those points and a few days ago, i did some other task, i cant recall which one it was and i wasnt given those points, am i doing something wrong??? i guess its really not worth it to go for those tasks for points, i mean, i did enjoy the video information and i do like reading the articles, but ya know, i just got a little huffy cuz i was expecting my points....i sure hope i dont have that problem getting the points for doing the work in the book,

    I was messed up on a sparkstreak, for some reason it didnt register that I logged in so the streak ended. I was not happy it would make my current streak about 70 days.
OH well must be a glitch in the system

ENJOY THE RIDE

    Sometimes you have to get your points in a different way for doing a certain activity, often by clicking a button, but sometimes by some other means. You can always ask on the message boards about the issue and someone there might be able to help you. Hope you can figure it out, but the points aren't as important as the information you're getting ;)

    I have had the same problem, especially reading mail and doing the web search. This Saturday and Sunday I kept receiving the same mail I had on Friday, so no points. Good Luck--refresh your page or maybe just log out and try it again.

rewards

Sunday, March 14, 2010

every time we have a success in our lives, no matter what it is, we expect some type of reward, or acknowlegment...but, why is it that it quite often involves food?
maybe because when we are young, we celebrate our birthdays with parties, with cake and ice cream.
or, thanksgiving, christmas..etc. its always food for some special occasion.
well i have decided that any success i have this week, i am going to celebrate or reward myself by working in my house...i am going to clean out a drawer, or a cabinet, or wipe down a forgotten mirror...maybe by doing this, i can establish a new way of thinking about housework, that it isnt bad, that i can see it as one more accomplishment in my life.
and, of course, as any girl does, i will treat myself, but only when i have a really big success, such as fitting into a smaller size or losing an extra inch off the waist...those success' i will treat myself to a mani, or a new shade of lipstick....

    That's an excellent idea! I tend to also do the "food" reward, but as you said, that should be stopped now! Housecleaning is a very good way to do it! I think I'll start doing that as well!

Thanks for the suggestion!

shopping

Saturday, March 13, 2010

did ya ever notice how un-fun it is to go shopping when yer overweight?...i went yesterday, cuz hubby needed shoes, but, he is worse than a woman when it comes to buying shoes.
so, he didnt get any shoes, but i got a pair of skechers slip ons, just to run errands and such, and a new pocketbook.
but, no clothes, as i still hate going thru the process of having to try them on, and then, nine times out of ten, carry them right back to the rack where i found them.
hopefully in the days ahead, i will be able to gradually get back into shopping, for clothes that is, for now, i stick to the accessories.

  


these morning headaches

Friday, March 12, 2010

it seems the last few days i have been waking up with a headache, or getting one not long after i get up.
i am wondering if its just my blood pressure, which is always a little high, or if its my meds, for the blood pressure. or if its my pillow, how long i slept, dust in the room, any number of things, the one i have right now isnt nearly as bad as the one i had on tuesday, that was a lay down and wimper headache. sure am hoping for a nice weekend, but its looking like rain.
