It's About That Time

When I was in the hospital room Thursday the nurse came in to hook my IV up. She looked at me and said oh great, it's hard to find a vein on you redheads. I've never heard that one. She looked at my arms and said which one do you want it in? I said well I have an IV scar on my right arm so put it in the left and see if I can get another. She wrapped the rubberband around my arm and was amazed at my vein :) I said I workout LOL! I was happy about the veins especially since i'm not taking supps right now.

So it's about that time that my husband will start to workout and eat better because the cruise is almost here. This time of year I get pissed because i'm constantly staying busy, eating clean and getting chubby?? Doesn't make sense. Then he just cuts out his mayonnaise and loses 10 lbs grrrr....

I'm going crazy not doing any cardio. Last night I did my back workout and it flew by since there wasn't any ending cardio segment. Today i'm going to do my bi/tri/abs and not do cardio just to heal some more. I was in the store this morning and felt like I was gonna pass out. I couldn't sleep for anything last night. I even took 2 of my pain killers because they normally make me feel all good and sleepy but nothing this time. Boomer and I just tried to take a nap and I still couldnt' sleep. Now i'm gonna go lay on the couch like a blob and eat bon bons. Just kidding, however I am gonna go lay on the couch like a blob.

I loved reading the vein story! WOO HOO!

Sorry you aren't feeling 100%...and I was glad to see you say you were going to lay on the couch. :) Get some rest girl. You will have plenty of time once you feel back to normal to workout.

And yes, men suck. My hubby eats a bowl of ice cream at night and STILL has a 6 pack. GRRR. When he wants to lean up for a race, he just eats better for like three days. ANNOYING!

I also agree about the men thing. Even women sometimes. Some people can lose a lot fast because they have LOTS of bad habits so if they cut even one of them, then they lose weight.

My hubby eats tortilla chips every night and still is in perfect shape. He works hard though.

Glad you are recovering well :)

You're probably having a hard time sleeping because you've rested up quite a bit and having worked, so your routine is a little off. That's all it is I'm sure. Just be careful when you feel like you could pass out!!!! That's scary! Been there done that!

Glad your feeling better and how great about those veins!

Men are just like that...they naturally have more muscle mass so they burn faster ;)

Woo hoo on the veins! I guess you showed her :P Take it easy and don't go passing out anywhere. How about those men, my husband is doing the same. He has already lost like 10lbs in like 3 weeks. He probably would have lost more if he really worked out. Let your body heal, sending ya healing vibes :)
