Fast Track & Spartacus: Wk 5, Day 3 - Wed, 29-Feb-2012

DORIS' DAILY SUMMARY/LEARNINGS: 

• BP = 124/76, 58 bpm - BP looks better with all that rest.  Feel a bit better this morning.
• Eating was sparse yesterday and I had to force myself to eat.  Feverish yesterday, body chills.  Feel significantly better this morning, but I have a lot of congestion in my nose and have probably blown out more than a pound of thick snot this morning.  Kleenex really holds a lot in one tissue!
• Loading up on Vit C (not sure if it's too late or not).
• Adding 1 Tbspn honey to my hot cups of tea.  Whatever I have is lasting for too long.  I have made an appointment to see my dr tomorrow morning.  Could've gone in today but it would've been with a different dr and I wanted my dr.
• My mind wants me to do a Spartacus workout today, but I'm just going to rest some more - though, I still need to do paid writing, laundry, cook for life group, do grocery shopping.  Guess it's not total rest.
• Not counting sugars any longer as what I already is low sugar unless it's honey in my hot tea.
• Made Jorge's Pesto Sauce.  Easy and delicious.
• Love my crockpot.  Meats always turn out tender when you let them cook for long enough.
• Got 29% off shoes at Payless for my kids, and 2 of the 4 pairs of shoes they got were big time on sale, too.  Ended up paying about 50% off for everything.  Woohoo!
• Sprouts' last day for wild fish & seafood at their seafood counter was today.  Got a bunch of wild salmon, Alaskan cod, shrimp, something else.  Sorta blew my food budget for this month, but all this will last us for the next 3 months or so.  Next month should be light on the meat bill.
• Going to use up all my multi-vitamins & EFAs, and other supplements before I buy the same thing again and have a bunch of partially used bottles.  Paid for all of them and it's wasting money.
• Need to send my 2 canisters of Prograde back (boxes unopened).  Their products have too much sugar for me to consume.  Need to stop autoship.  Need to also find a good quality, affordable protein powder that has few ingredients very low in sugar and not using weird artificial sweeteners.
• Humbly happy that there was all this delicious looking food for life group and I wasn't tempted nor wanted any of the foods I would normally eat.  Every last week in the Fernandez Life Group, we have a potluck.  The theme this month was Italian.  I was satisfied with my mixed greens & what I made.

SMARTER GOAL:  Enjoy eating and the day.  No workout.
