Friday night and the gym?

Dinner tonight: Lean Pocket Ham & Cheese. This is pretty close to comfort food. When I was younger the Ham and Cheese Hot Pocket was always in our fridge. Don't worry, also have a huge salad to go with it. (spring mix, sprouts, mushrooms, chicken and trader Joe's hummus salad dressing) I figure it it's a good balance.

By the way the hummus dressing is pretty good. I feel like I need more then I do with other dressings but it was delicious. A bit more fat than other dressing but since I eat so much salad having lots of dressing options. I love the Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing The ranch tastes like ranch, not diet ranch not almost like ranch. Exactly like ranch.

Went to the gym after work. Tried the AMT (Adaptive Motion Trainer) Very weird. Don't like it. Also there was an old school stair master. Very awkward. I prefer spin, elliptical or running. I am still dealing with an allergy and my face hurts. Didn't feel like going out so I went to the gym. Lame I now but I know to reach my goal I need to spend my free time at the gym.

Allergy: I am writing down what I am eating on the days these reactions have happened. The itching lips/face isn't good. My breakfast is pretty consistent so I don't think it's that. If I get another reaction in the next week I am going to doctor because that would be #4. I want to make sure it isn't just a freak occurrence. Knowning me, I doubt it. :(


On another note, my tia started her first chemo treatment today. Say a prayer for her please. They got the cancer out with a partial masectamy but she is doing chemo.

Run and other stuff

I did not feel like running today. I am having an allergic reaction around my mouth and something is up with my eyes. They are watering like crazy. But I did it! Went to airline trail and ran 3.16 miles in about 51 minutes. So time is an estimate, the mileage is correct because I remember checking the program and turning around at 1.58 miles. I wanted to see what a 5k time would be like. I must have hit something so my tracker stopped at 2.95 miles But I ran. Lately for me it isn't so much about my pace as it is about me getting off my ass and doing something. I have a lot of weight to lose and right now it's all about the little steps. I almost forgot to mention the bug that flew into my eye and the bug I swalloed while running. The bug was on the way back, it's a good thing too. I think that would have caused me to turn back early.

Now eating a turkey burger. Don't worry I checked to make sure it wasn't recalled. That is what prompted me to pull it out of the freezer for lunch and make it for lunch.

I stopped at CVS after the run and got Benedryl. Hoping this helps.
