This past week I had a sore throat and stuffy nose, so I spent 5 hours Thursday at the local Urgent Care facility (my primary care physician is in the hospital and her cohorts are booked for weeks), only to hear that my x-ray showed patches of pneumonia in my chest, again! ARG! I was hoping after having pneumonia in November and December that I was done with it for awhile.
Why can't I just have strep throat like everyone else?
But I have taken my Zithromax and feel like I am on the mend, so now its back to working out. My husband and son sat on me for three days to keep me from exercising when I was sick. I did manage to attend spin class with the adorable Angela on Sunday, and I was wiped out by the time class was over.
I'm going to be following two gals, one ten pounds heavier than I am, and one about ten pounds lighter, for the next 8 weeks for the Commit 2 Fit program sponsored by Road Runner Sports in Kent. I am looking forward to chronicling their journey and hopefully learning some tips to help me in my quest for fitness at the same time.
Over 60 people showed up at the kick off event last Thursday, 99 percent women and one brave guy. All were weighed and measured and had digital gait analysis to get them fit for athletic shoes. Sharon, the nutritionist, started everyone off on building 8 good habits for healthy lifestyles by admonishing them all to drink a lot of water this week and keep track of everything they eat. She's going to evaluate everyones diet and talk about where improvements can be made thursday this week. I imagine Sharon would be shocked if she could see that I eat a bowl of cereal with sugar for a snack usually once a day. So its my one sugar fix, but I have a hard time giving it up. That is probably why those 4 pounds that found me during the holidays haven't left my hips yet. Sigh.
Tonight its cardio lift with Suzanne. I hope I can breathe through the class.
