When will I not be sick

 Ok, really I am starting to feel better, but I've got a bit to go.  Still blowing enormous amounts of crap out of my nose, and I'm still coughing quite a bit.  Enough my abs are SORE.  I hate waking up in the night coughing cause it hurts so bad.  No time to brace.

So this week cause I am feeling better, I'll be restarting my workouts.  This week I'll mostly walk cause I am still coughing quite a bit.  Just get back to regular movement cause I've not been moving much.  Hard to when any movement caused a 4 minute coughing fit.

I've also been slacking in skin care.  Guess when you are exhausted at the end of the night you tend to just fall into bed without doing much for skin care.  Today I think I'll do a good cleanse and a nice sheet mask.  

I think with my big reboot I'm going to do more than just fitness.  I'm going to work on a big closet declutter.  Work on my skin care routines. Work on reading my massive TBR pile of books I've got. Yes work on my body cause health and fitness will last me the rest of my life.

But for right now, plan on getting in more walking until my nose decides to quit producing enough snot for 3 people. 

I'm sick BOOOOOO

 

Ok maybe I'm actually up out of bed, but I napped twice today.  First time was cause I only slept maybe 4 hours before being unable to breath out of my nose woke me up.  

Then I was just exhausted in the afternoon so I took another nap.  I still feel tired.  Probably cause I keep running low grade fevers off and on.  100.8F last night.   99.6F right now.   Nothing horrible but bad enough I just feel UGH.

I was gonna get my flu shot and updated Covid shot this week but I'll have to wait until I'm better.

This has also thrown a wrench into my workout plans.  But trust me, I'd rather be lifting weights than having a low fever and a sore nose from blowing it so much and having it hurt to swallow cause my throat hurts.

That's about it for now.  Maybe I'll feel better in a couple days.

Delayed my Challenge

 I decided to wait until after Labor Day, or rather the Sat and Sun of Labor Day weekend.   The family went camping, I stayed at home cause someone needed to care for all the cats, dogs and horses.  I even went to town to feed our oldest daughter's cats.  They dropped their 2 dogs off at our house.  So I had 6 dogs to care for.

But now that it's Labor Day and "summer" is over

It's time cause I weighted myself and it was bad.  But yet, I ate chips, dip and so much sodium in my diet this weekend.  That and it's been

I mean high temps near 100F.  HOT.  Way to hot.  I always retain fluid like mad when it's hot like this. Today is a lot cooler, thanks to thunderstorms that rolled through yesterday and this morning.  Tomorrow back to the oven, but then it FINALLY decides that maybe fall is here and temps cool off to more normal.

I've been loosely tracking macros off and on the last month or so.  I kind of think part of my problem is that I don't eat enough calories most of the time, then I kind of binge eat 3000 calories for a couple days and totally blow any calorie deficit away.

And I think the low, almost to low if you ask me, calories I eat are helping me not have the energy to really get up and go.  So for the last week or so, I've made more of an effort to get more calories in me.  200-300ish.  And you know what,  I'm feeling more energetic, sleeping a little better and over all feel more peaceful.  Like my brains is like "finally, I've got enough food"   

I think this fall/winter I'm going to work on a small body recomp.  Workout hard, actually push myself with how heavy I can lift, and eat at maintenance.  Then maybe when winter is tapering off, I can cut calories by 100-200 a day, nothing to strick, and cut a bit.  

I'm also going to try and grow a butt during my recomp.  I've been half ass 😂punn not intended, working on a good glute routine, and I do think it's helped a little. But well, I want to grow a little more of a booty and keep what I do have up where it belongs.  I think the small amount I've done has mostly helped lift up what I've got, which is great.  Now I need to grow what I've got.

That's about it for this time.  Gonna try and bump up the amount I blog.
