My body hates me

So i go into the doctor yesterday thinking i had an ear infection. My ears have been sounding blocked for the last week and a half due to me being sick. What do i get?

Apparently i have 101 temperature and a sinus infection of some kind. My ears look clear, heart healthy, lungs health. He gives me some antibiotics and nasal spray and sends me on my way. Then it was not until this morning that i have green phlegm, but at least i can breath through my nose again. Everything coming out is being coughed out. I guess i caught this at the beginning of the infection? At least I'm hoping. Started my antibiotics last night, but my teeth hurt this morning (sigh). Body please stop hating me!

And this is how Athena feels about 1. Not playing frisbee in the 90 degree heat and 2. sharing the bed with my moms dog while shes out of town. And its about how i feel about being sick.

Drinking Right?

So I'm doing good. I'm eating better on my set meal plan sticking too it not cheating woot good for me right? Well sorta. I'm craving drinks. Specifically Arizona Green Ice Tea. I love love love my plain ice tea, but if i don't have it at work pre made i end up buying the AZ tea, which is loaded with Sugar and isn't good. So Last night I made Ice tea to bring to work so i am not tempted to buy sugar infested tea. On another note. i'm not wanting soda. i look at it and totally pass it up because it is too sweet for me. Never thought i'd say that!

I booked my Trip to FL to have a girls week with friends. So Now i'm even more motivated to get my arse in to shape. No excuses anymore....well maybe no more excuses after i get my sickness and possible ear infection cleared up LOL. My goal is to fit into this suit by the time my trip rolls around. I know i can do it. I just need to push!

Everybody needs some zen time

Last Saturday i woke up to the sun shining and the birds singing. So what did i do? packed my camera/water and extra leash for Athena and headed out with the beast to the bird sanctuary. This place is our local zen place. It's so much fun to go out there and take a deep breath in and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells. A place where i can take pictures and get my exercise in and a place where Athena can watch birdies from afar, chase lizards and get muddy with salt pond mud :) And its free to the public. This place has always held a special place in my heart for me. I remember my grandpa taking me out there as a kid letting me use the camera or binoculars. To me there is nothing better then walking around and just enjoying everything the outdoors has to offer
