Weekend Roundup

I can't believe I forgot to post! Because I actually did do stuff! I ran both Saturday and Sunday. 5 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday. By the time I hit the road on Sunday, it was very late and it was cool but humid. So I didn't really feel like going further. I will say that my right foot has been aching a lot this weekend. I may look into some running arch supports. I have to go to work really early today and I may go to the gym after work, but I doubt it. In other health news, I am going to the dentist at 10:30 am. No problems to report, just a checkup. I need to make an appointment with my eye doctor, too. I've been getting a lot of headaches. They are not crazy intense but I wonder if my eyes are changing a bit. Or if staring at a computer screen is finally taking it's toll. A new thing I have been doing is drinking smoothies! My best concoction thus far was chard, beet (raw), pineapple, strawberries, and coconut water (just a bit). It is no chocolate milkshake, but they have been pretty tasty! I just got to thinking that the Green Fix that I was getting at the FM was so pricey, why can't I make my own? And the answer is, I can! I've also made a smoothie using kale and yesterday I bought some spinach to try out.

Well, good for you but yuk on the smoothies. I'll pass on those.

Your eyes could be changing but you do spend an awful lot of time in front of a screen, too, and I think that takes at toll. Good to check it out.

I went for a 1 mile walk this morning. Whopee. But I started out that way and if I have to start all over that way again I will do it. I felt that little pull though so took Aleve as soon as I got home. Also iced it. Did the stretches before leaving. Did my sit ups and push ups when I got home and plan to get back into that every day, too. I have put on 6 lbs over this month of sitting around and I can't stand it.

Day off here today. I had a long day that started out by epically ruining someone else's day at 6 am. I left around 3:30 but I really didn't sleep last night - or this weekend. Because this task was really on my mind. Anyway, I'm going to bed now and plan to get up and run in the am. And call the eye doctor tomorrow! Totally got in trouble at the dentist today. It has been way longer than I thought since I've been! No cavities, but I'm going to go back and have her fill in some of those filler things they put on molars.

I know walking isn't it, but it's something. Hopefully it was nice out at least.

I despise it when I have on weight because I hate wearing too tight pants!!!

I heard from Mom that you had an unpleasant task yesterday. Hope you survived.
