Exactly four weeks until Vegas. I am crazy, CRAZY excited.
We couldn't watch the Steelers game at home because it wasn't airing on any of the channels we get, so I met boyfriend at Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. I showed up late and starving, so I ordered a dozen traditional wings and I took nibbles from boyfriend's nachos. I never felt stuffed, but I knew I had overeaten.
I felt gross and lazy and it caused me to take an unnecessary nap for two hours. When it came to be dinner time, I was nowhere close to hungry so we pushed back the cooking. When we did finally decide to eat it was a lighter dinner consisting of brats and fries. I still felt gross and groggy so at 10pm I went to the gym expecting some relief.
Almost immediately after starting on the elliptical I felt this tightness in my chest that would not go away for the entire 35 minutes I spent on the machine. Between that and increasing to resistance level 3, I allowed myself to carry at a slower than usual pace (56-60 RPM) and even then I couldn't catch my breath. At most my heart rate was at 147 (actually, spent most of the time closer to 140) but I just couldn't seem to get any rhythm to my huffing and puffing. Once I got off the machine there was a horrible stitch in my side that didn't leave for a good ten minutes and I felt generally woozy.
Most of the mucus from my head cold has traveled to my chest, leaving me with this dry cough that highlights my temporarily diminished lung capacity. I seriously hope this doesn't last long because I'm almost certain I shouldn't be exercising like this.
In other worldly news:
We finally went grocery shopping this weekend. We got a ton of goodies that make me excited about cooking and putting meals together.
Today I brought:
Vanilla almond crunch cereal, 1 banana, 1 cup skim.
Turkey and smoked pepperjack on 100% whole wheat, side of carrots
Apple and orange and loads of water.
I'm struggling to finish my cereal and I haven't even touched my banana. I also haven't had a proper poop in days, I wonder if it's related?
