Recovery

Wow, this sinus infection kicked my @ss.  When I first started my antibiotics, it didn't really seem like it was working.  It actually seemed like it was getting worse.  The initial on set was just drainage and really bad pain in my ears, but not bad in my sinuses.  After a couple of days, the ears still hurt bad and then my sinuses got more plugged.  It felt like someone punched me repeatedly around the cheek and jaw area. For a couple of days it even hurt to chew!!

I managed to get some workouts in during this time, but it wasn't very much.

1/18 - Speed 2.0
1/22 - Core Cardio
1/25 - Upper Focus
1/28 - Speed 2.0

Now on to the GOOD NEWS.
Well first start with the Bad which is going to be . My highest weight was the day we returned from a vacation to Colorado on 8/28/2013.  I honestly can't remember when I started this blog if I called this 'X' so I may have to re-baseline my number reporting.  Anyway, I joined a T-25 Challenge starting 11/04.  On this day I weighed X - 2.2 which we will now call Y.  So basically my weight fluctuated up and down between September and October.

On 12/05 I weighed X-5.6 (Y-3.4).

On 1/4 I weighed X - 9.2 (Y-7).

Today 1/29 I weighed X - 12.2 (Y-10).

With being sick quite a bit during this workout period and many holidays actually, I'm only through about 8.5 weeks of T25.  Another 1.5 more weeks of the program to go!  I will likely repeat another round though so I'm looking forward to it.

I felt pretty sick today but got my Beta Rip't Circuit in this morning which gave me a bit of an energy boost. My eyes and ears really hurt so I went to see the doc and I have sinusitis and fluid in my left ear. Started antibiotics tonight - hope it kicks in soon!!

Planks

No T25 today, we went skiing today.

Been eyeing the 30 day plank challenge since people keep mentioning it. Had my husband time me and on my elbow I can do it 48 seconds. (He did 1min 11secs.).

Seems like it would be hard to get to 5mins eeep!!!

I'm excited about my journey so far. I've for way more energy than ever before and I feel happier as well. I've lost almost 8 pounds since I started and this is through Halloween candy, Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts, and a NYE party. Usually this is the season of weight gain so this feels fantastic!!

Cheers to you for a happy, healthy, and fit 2014!
