7/2/13

Went back to the doctor this morning...still in pain. Tests showed the first antibiotic was failing and the infection is still in full force. They prescribed a new antibiotic, an anti-spasmatic (so I don't feel like I have to go every 2 seconds) and sent my sample out for a full culture to make sure it's not some crazy new strand of anything that would need special attention. [p.s. Walgreen's Pharmacy is THE WORST!]
*************HEALING VIBES PLEASE******************

This puts me at 1775 calories for the day... pretty good seeing as I've been struggling lately to get enough in. I'm ok with having some low days since I know with the upcoming holiday weekend I'm going to have some high days... and I think my body likes cycling... though I haven't lost any weight recently. I need to DRINK MORE WATER and watch my sodium.

Might eat a grapefruit before bed too.
100 - grapefruit

total 1875

motivation

I'm pretty upset with myself... I have YET to go to this new gym where I bought a membership a month ago. I really do want to work out but every night I get home from work and have no motivation to get back in my car, drive downtown to the gym etc... where can I find this motivation? I need some.
I really do want & need a bike. I may be going to the Bike Collective on Tuesday, but I would really like a bike sooner than that. I might go to wallyworld and just pick up a cruiser for $100 tonight after work. I think having a bike will be motivating for me~ I'd much rather ride my bike around the city than get in my car and spend MORE money on gas!
