WHASSSSUP BLOG!


Weather Journal: Its been really hot.  At least in ALABAMA we had air conditioning.  It supposed to cool down considerably for the weekend...not sure if I prefer that or not.

My life has been extraordinarily ordinary lately.  Sometimes that bothers me because I feel like I am boring, and I have nothing to blog about.  But....then I think......I should be so lucky.  One day, some day, my life could or will change and I won't be able to enjoy the extraordinary, ordinary days.......


Like the day that LEGS deploys.
Or the day we get sick, or lose somebody, or the day I am too busy to enjoy the simple things.


I went to the doctor to get my blood checked.  I think my Thyroid is messed up again, or as I like to call it MY ZOMBIE DISEASE.  I call it this because the last time my levels were off LEGS and I were watching a ZOMBIE show, and I was like EUREKA! That is how I feel- I feel (and probably look) like a ZOMBIE.  


My feet drag.  I have blood problems.  I am depressed. Unattractive. Lazy. And pretty damn hard to be around.


As I sit here and type I feel so tired I can hardly imagine putting a sentence together, let alone a complete thought.  I don't like to be down, or tired or sick.  I don't like letting my thyroid disorder define me either.  


I keep telling myself that my levels are fine, I am just tired because I have been so busy. Or because I didn't sleep well last night.  I have been itching to get on my bike and ride, but even when LEGS was going tonight, I just couldn't bring myself to go, I felt too tired to even do that.  


In NEVER NEVER LAND, you have to wait extra long for your results to come back.  So I have to wait two weeks, then call the doctor, see what they say, if they change my dose then I have to wait six weeks for the effect to level out and produce an accurate result.  


So here I am....just sitting and waiting.....


I stay productive. I just do things in shifts.  I get up and do a couple chores around the house. Then I sit and rest.  I get up and run an errand, then I sit and rest again.  


I don't know. Maybe, just maybe, if I get a full night of sleep, I will feel better tomorrow morning.


And then I think.  EXPLETIVE.  I sound depressed.  My poor readers and friends.  I can't even fathom being myself right now, how could I expect to be any kind of person anybody would want to read about or spend time with?


As I said LEGS went for a ride.  Its 7:15 pm here.  I probably got a solid 6 hours of sleep last night, I took a nap today for 1.5 hours, and I can hardly wait for him to get home, so we can eat dinner and go to bed.  


So.....I am sorry I am like this.  But tomorrow, I am going to get up and try again.


Progress on my weight loss adventure:


I am weighing 142 lbs.  I am feeling really, really good.  I have slimmed down a bunch.  These last two weeks I have been really focusing on WHAT I eat.  Lots and fruits and veggies- especially to compensate for the days I have been too tired to workout.  


Cycling, is probably one of the easiest ways- that I have come across to lose weight and slim slim slim.  If you can't ride, or bike, I would recommend a spin class.




ARMS BOOKSHELF:


I am reading the Sookie Stackhouse books, the HBO show True Blood is based on the books. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these books!  (Side Note: One of my faithful readers told me about the books- Thank you sooooo much! you know who you are!)


Random Thoughts:


I hate when I used whitening stripes and they make my teeth sensitive to hot and cold.


Gosh.....I am.....so tired.......


I actually wore my first pair of LEGGINGS out in public today.  Shoot, I am hot enough to wear spandex.  Now I am addicted.  They are so comfortable.  I came home and napped in them- I think they might be better than sweats- I said MIGHT.  We have come along way since the days of STIRRUP PANTS......I was thinking today how I used to wear pants similar to this in 3rd grade.  I am getting old.  But when your old, comfort is a priority- so buy a pair of leggings- thank me later.


OVER & ASLEEP.


Just another day in life of an unlikely military wife zzzzzzzzz.......**
