17th, Monday ( 1 month to my 48 birthday)
A weekend full of mixed emotions!
Friday I got to the gym: 30minutes of HIIT, 1 hour of Kettlebells. Managed 900 reps.
Went home, picked up the garden rubbish just to discover that the recycle centre closes at 4pm. Heyho, I didn't take it home again but drove straight over to LB.
I had half of my bacon/sausage baguette in the morning, I fed the other half to the dogs as I didn't really 'feel' it. I had my hemp powder with almond milk, a banana & some brazil nuts instead.
Saturday was sunny and gorgous. It just called for gardening :). Then at lunchtime I started sneezing. I should have gone & taken my antihistamin straight away but I was too busy. An hour later my eyes were streaming and by 4 o'clock I surrendered and went inside. I lay on the bed for an hour trying to read 'the little cafe in Kabul' (between the sneezes) but as it didn't make a difference I got up and we took the woowoos for a long walk. LB was chuckling at the two packets of tissues.....well, I did use nearly all of them. Come 10pm I was totally, utterly exhausted.
For some reason we didn't stop for lunch but just a cup of coffee and a slice of christmas cake. Dinner was a stirfry and a steak. All good and then I was trying to make myself feel better and started raiding the cupboard. I lost count of the things I shovelled down. Needless to say that it didn't make me feel better.
Sunday: On waking up I took an antihistamin together with my iron tablet.
Yes :) result, I only sneezed once all day long. I think I should buy myself a clicker. I am curious how many times I do sneeze: 500, 600 or more? Oh yeah and starring a Rudolph nose!
As his kids and grandkids where coming over for the first BBQ of the year, we didn't bother with lunch again. And by the time we got round to eat, Iwas starving and wolfed lots! I did not feel full til I topped it of with a banana and a chocolate bar(from christmas). Just before bedtime I heard the cupboard calling my name again. Really? Why don't I ignore it?
Well, I can't make it undone. But maybe next time, I can take a step back, pause and ask myself if I really, really, really want and need it!
The effect of the iron tablets seem to have turned the other way. Not sure which is worse.
