this is what I get for sitting around and not being dilligent when I have been home this week. Now I should have gotten some stuff done this past week and I didn't get it all done, so on the ONE day when it is beautiful, I am at work. Punishment for myself for not doing what I should have. At least I have a window in my office and I can enjoy it!
I got out yesterday and went to the breakfast with LM, then we convinced ourselves that since it was raining that we had to make a trip to the outlet mall....yes, we can justify anything....which we ran around and bought a few things, then had a big craving for Chuys (thanks to JH for mentioning that to us) so we stopped in on the way home and had our creamy jalapeno fix for the day. What a great day - I think that is the most I have gotten to hang out with LM since I left my job and it was so good to get to catch up with her! She is riding in the MS 150 today - hopefully she is doing well!!!
When we were at the outlets yesterday, I sat down to try on some shoes, and when I kicked up my leg to tie the nike's I was trying on - I totally did something to my back (go figure) and ever since it has been HURTING (and yes, the all caps mean it is bad). It does this every once in a while but it this time it was really bad...and it hasn't quit. So I decided this morning that was IT and I was going to do my stretches like a good girl. I also decided to get out that Yoga video I bought not too long ago - it is a 5 day 25 minute program for beginners - so I thought I would add that in too. Yoga is stretching, right?
Well, lets just say I always thought I was flexible when I am younger and that is no longer. They said it was beginners, but if all beginners can contort their body like that, then I am impressed. Becuase I cannot. BUT I will say that there are very few things that motivate me - one of them would be that I can't do something well. So, Yoga video, I am taking you on. I WILL conquer...if I don't kill myself first! It did give a good little workout - and I did feel MUCH better after it - so I have told myself every day this week I have to do it. I'll fill you in on if it gets any better. I did the twisting and standing poses today(so that was around 50 minutes)...I kind of liked the standing and the twisting were pretty good too. I'll see what the others were - but I am FOR SURE that the "back bending" poses are going to have to wait a few weeks. I am sure I would collapse if I tried! ha!
Other than that - I am okay. my heart seemed to be going a little fast so I broke out my trusty home blood pressure machine - yes, I know I am a dork for having one. My BP was good - at around 115 / 65 - but the heart rate was almost at 90. I thought it was becuase I had been running around - so I waited 30 minutes and watched TV (another reason for the punishment) and it was still that high. If it is that high tonight, I will go into the doctor Monday. It is totally par for the course - and slightly expected. As your thyroid "dies" pockets of thyroid hormones can be released and when that happens, you have all the symptoms of "hyperthyroidism" - which includes the rapid heart rate. So, not wholly unexpected, I just don't want it to continue much longer becuase that is bad...especially when you are already on heart meds to control it!
So, that is the weekend update. I am going to dinner with a friend tonight - as my friend RH said, you are just dropping little radioactive terds everywhere, aren't you!!! - then one more day at home till I am FREE....well, kind of free. Probably very busy at work since I will be back after a little over a week!
