Wk 3, Day 2 - Tues, 17-Dec-2013

THOUGHTS:

• I'm very happy that my husband did the nasal rinse thing.  I believe that will also help him recover better.  Praise God he's dropping some of the stubbornness in this area.  He's doing the tea thing, as well as this nasal thing.  I'm asking him to keep warm and not spend time outside, even initially after he gets well.  He's done the nasal rinse three times now and he says it's helping.
• We have a really awesome pest control guy, Daniel.  Very personable.
• We still have 6 more cupcakes in the house and some cookies.  No one has been eating them except me.  Boohoo.  
• My husband got a call for a position, but he declined it.  It involved relocating at least twice a year, but probably more all the time.  Not a good job for a man with a family.
• So happy I got my Tower Slicer today.  Yippee!
• The scalp head massager came in the mail.  We have three of them and all four of us love this thing.  Maybe it will stimulate my scalp to grow more hair so I can have a denser head of hair?  My hair does grow long very quickly, though, so that's not the issue.
• Glad I finally got a workout in this week.
• Tomorrow will be a busy day and I don't think I can get all of tomorrow's subcon work done tomorrow.  But, at least all of my Monday work was done Monday and Tuesday work was done Tuesday.

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, Multi vitamins, fish oil, probiotics, cinnamon.-

SLEEP:

• 11:15 PM - 2:45 am, 3:45 - 6:00 am (6 hrs) - Broken up sleep.  That's alright.

FOOD JOURNAL:

Breakfast  (8:45 am) - a bowl of chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers

Lunch (1:00 pm) - a bowl of beef stew (leftovers from over a week ago - still eating it) with a cookie

Dinner (6:45 pm) - I made a Paleo version of Fabio Viviani's Grandmother's Meatloaf recipe.  Instead of breadcrumbs, I used almond meal.  I didn't have any Parmesan cheese and it wasn't as cheesy because I didn't have much cheese left.  Only used about 2/3rds of what the recipe called for.  And I didn't have fresh parsley.  I think when I made this last time, it turned out better than this time.  I had a large slice of this and some spicy steak fries (homemade).

Dessert (7:15 pm) - 2 cupcakes

Notes:  I did not do this workout as Zuzka had laid out with reps, nor did I use weights on the squats.  I could've, but since I am still sick and it took her a bit to do this workout and she is healthy & fit, I figured, if I did half of the workout, I would be good.  I was having some coughing issues.  I don't think I could've done 100 burpees, as I could barely crank out the 50 that I did do.  I probably could've done 100 Mountain Climbers and Squat Hops, though.  And I probably should've done jump roping in between the other 4 exercises.

Normally for a cooldown, I do more than walk it out, but my husband got a phone call regarding a job and I was helping him listen.  Too bad the job meant relocating several times a year, which with middle school and junior high kids, no can do.
