Well, just when I thought I was done with this whole cold and sickness thing… Thankfully, I’m not dealing with another full-blown cold, but rather, the remnants of the one I’m still apparently trying to get rid of. It has now traveled down to my chest so I am sporting one heck of a sexy cough. Oh ...
Lucky To Be Where I Am
Holy cow. Yesterday was one LONG and busy day, but it was all good so I can't complain. We'll just forget about the fact that I may or may not be walking around in a semi-zombie state with greasy hair. The day started out as normal yesterday, heading in to work, getting settled, and eating ...
Finally Getting Back To Normal
Okay, so I think that my lungs are FINALLY getting back to normal. Thank, freakin, goodness! Even though I've only been on the prednisone and new inhaler for 2-1/2 days, I'm already feeling a world of difference. I've only had to use my rescue inhaler twice since then (I was using it 7-8 times ...
WIAW: What Is Causing My Asthma Attacks
I think I sort of cheated for this week’s WIAW post… You see, today’s post actually includes meals from three different days: last Friday, yesterday, and this morning. Is that cheating? Maybe. But hey, I’m gonna do it anyway. Besides, I actually have some interesting insights as to what may ...
Taking A Step Back
Alright. I think I’m finally starting to make a little headway on the exercise front. I know I’ve mentioned it a few times this week, but my asthma has seriously been hindering my workouts this week. No matter how much I stay on top of taking my inhalers, the lovely spring air is really doing a ...
Sweet Breakfast Quesadilla
Well would ya look at that…we’re already halfway through the week already. Can I get a “Woot Woot?!?” Today was an especially long Wednesday at work, but that’s thanks to some new clients that I’ve gotten so I’m definitely not complaining. My first client for the day started at 6:00am and I had ...
Why The Night Got Cut Short
Last night was a really big night for my dad and I was could not have been more proud of him! Depending on how long you’ve been reading STSL, you may or may not know that I come from a family of bowlers. Although Jay and I have taken the past couple of years off, all of us at one point were quite ...
How I Became a Runner
Today was the day… I officially started my training for the Boilermaker 15K! I’m so glad that Tina introduced me to SmartCoach, which is where I put together this exact plan. The site is awesome, and if you’re looking for a plan of your own, it’s definitely worth checking out. **Does ...
The Workout That Wasn’t
Well, today was day two of no exercise… I know, I know…some people are probably giving me a big one of these :roll: and maybe some of you are even giving me one of these :shock: I ended up taking a rest day yesterday due to some extreme stomach discomfort. (If you chatted with me on Twitter, you ...
Tips for Exercising With Asthma
This morning was the first morning in a while that I’ve attempted the pre- 6:00am workout. Not as easy to “ease” back into as I had hoped. :shock: After making it through the first five minutes of warming up without actually falling asleep, I figured I was good enough to continue. However, the ...
