Hell Has Frozen Over

You heard it here first, folks!  Hell has frozen over!  For two days in a row, I’ve done the unthinkable.  I actually got my ass out of bed early and went for a walk!  I know!  Whoever would have thought?  I’ve honestly never done that before in my life.

Of course, it has only helped me get further and further behind in my blog/e-mail reading.  I promise to catch up soon, but I’ve been so exhausted by the time I’ve gotten home from work lately, that I haven’t been able to do much more than plop on the couch and catch up on my election coverage.    Many people get energized after they exercise.  Not me!  I usually end up feeling like I’m about to pass out from exhaustion.  But I’m doing it.  We’ll see how long it lasts.

I’ve also remembered one of my other reasons for not doing it….allergies.  By the second lap around the park, I’ve usually got a sinus headache to rival a migraine.  I need to pick up some allergy/sinus medicine this weekend and remember to take it before I go for my walk.  On the plus side, as I’ve mentioned before, dodging the goose poo is always added exercise.

On the other hand, my point-tracking has not been going so well this week.  I haven’t really had any binges exactly (hallelujah), I’ve just found myself adding more and more points to my day.  We’ll see what the combination of that with the added exercise does to my weigh-in next week.
