This is only a test…

I just got ahold of my doctors office about those pesky test results (yeah..I procrastinated a bit…I wanted to be clueless for a couple more hours) and I spoke to two different nurse-ish-people. 

Only to be told “Oh, the results are here but the doctor is not in today to analyze them and I don’t know what I’m looking at.” 

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

So I ask for the thyroid parts because I know like 87 people with thyroid troubles and I’m thinking we could all put our thyroids together & figure it out. I get rapid fired terms & letters. No numbers. For some reason I was waiting for some magical numbers. I think she was a titch offended that I sounded like I could decode the results and she couldn’t. Hmmmph. Suck it up, Sally.

In the end, I admitted defeat, mindlessly agree to wait for the next phone call in the morning…and I wait. Some more. 

Huh….those chocolate eggs sure look nummy…….nomnomnom.

Please hold…

Last Friday I went to see a doctor to find out why I’ve been feeling so crumtastic. Blood was drawn, fake dry heave sounds were made, & now I’m waiting for the results. 

Basically, I’ve been exhausted for about 4 months. Like don’t wanna move, feel like I’m wading through a peanut butter pool exhausted. Also, since drastically changing my eating habits & moving my donk more than it’s been moved in years, I haven’t lost any weight. My doc agrees that’s just some sort of bullshit. 

Tomorrow I should find out what horrible disease I have. Fingers crossed it’s nothing too worrisome. But fingers also crossed it’s also not nuthin’. Cause my gut says it’s somethin’.

I’ll update y’all tomorrows. :)

Oh….and I also must tell you that I ate fast food today. For the first time in MONTHS. It was just as disgusting as I remembered. I felt the need to drown my sorrows of Obamacare being passed. And for that, it sufficed.

Dinner tonight…. A bed of steamed spinach with bleu cheese & sun dried tomatoes & a broiled tilapia filet with some olive tapenade.  T’was deliciously yum.  Too bad it smelled oddly similar to marijuana. Huh. Why am I now craving cheetos & ding dongs?

Today I did something totally nuts. I rulked OUTSIDE. Yup. In the wilderness of das city.

It was freakin’ weird.

What they say about running (or in my case, rulking) on a treadmill being easier than running on the earth…is damn true. So this is me, tipping my giant jealous shaped hat to all your road runners. In a word. Ouchiepants.

I decided that since I’ve been a calorie consuming slug the past week, I’d punish myself by backtracking my C25K schedule to week 1. Which I know isn’t like I really went that far back in time…let’s be honest…this is a sloooow road. But that’s hunky dory…as long as I don’t die from any more episodes of Earth vs. Sara, we’re good to go.

In other news, I finally made an appointment to see the doc about why I always feel tired as a log. I’ve heard from my friends it could be anything from my sinus’ being bitches to thyroid crud. Let’s hope it’s the former & not the latter. Friday is D Day (diagnose day) so cross your fingers I’m just psychosomatic & there’s nothing actually wrong. Well….then again…..

Also, I decided that I REALLY want to run the Army Ten Miler in October in Washington DC. I know. Sexy, right? Tis truth. Today when I was rulking around my fair city I imagined the light house was the Lincoln Memorial & the Italian Community Center was….well…the Italian Community Center….that place is friggin’ weird with it’s little fountain lady. Anyhoo….I really want to do it & I really hope I can.

Now I’m off to broil up some tilapia & eat it with my eyes closed imagining it’s ribeye. Oh yeah. Good times. Dipity out. ;)

Back on track yums are on the menu tonight…a broiled tilapia filet brushed with a bit of grapeseed oil, sprinkled with garlic powder, doused with 1/2 a lime & finished with fresh chopped cilantro…placed on a bed of freshly steamed spinach topped with diced tomatoes & paired with Spanish rice. Back on track sure is tasty! :)

My workout for the day…beebopping around the state for work, carrying these ginormous pigtail buns on my noggin. That counts, right? ;) Although they look like bagels which made me crave bagels so I got one. Gawwwww!!!! I guess that’s better than eating a hair bagel.

I’m on a plane…

No really. I’m on a frickin’ plane!

I’m flying to Georgia right this very moment. The last time I flew anywhere Tumblr, twitter, iPhones & the internet wasn’t invented yet. Kay…I’m kidding about the last part. But seriously…how did I survive 3 years ago? The thought is unfathomable & quite disturbing.

Anyboo….yes….I am on a aeroplane. Usually on vacations I give dieting & anything that isn’t Class A Fun-a-roo the ol’ heave ho. I’m trying to be goodish. I had a salad for lunch. I do not plan on making a habit of that shiz whilst on holiday. Hecks to the noes. Bring on the bad!

I do plan on working out on Saturday. My traveling buddy is going to a churchy thing that morning….I don’t do churchy anything so I’ll worship at the alter of C25K. Maybe even outside…in the wilderness…of the city. :)

Until then, this here blogger will prolly be dark….and by “dark” I mean enjoying myself immensely. If that includes dietary indulgences, I am a-okay with that. Vacay or bust! :)

You’ve only got three choices in life — give up, give in, or give it all you’ve got.

I’ve been having an upsetting week….just can’t seem to handle stress well…and leaving on my first trip in over a year in less than 48 hours is both exciting & terrifying. I want so badly to get everything wrapped up before then….it’s making me unusually wimpy. Tears are omnipresent. So my new mantra is this quote. Because I’m not a quitter or a whooseypants….so I gotta give it my all. Putting my best Sara forward….

I know I post a buttload of mouthwatering food pics on this here blog…..because…well…I LOVE food….& cooking. I mean, if I was anti-deliciousness I wouldn’t need to shrink. Alas, that is not the case. I am a food nut….so buckle in my fellow foodies…as those posts aren’t going anywhere. However, I’m thinking that probably makes it seems as though all I’m doing is eating & breathing.  Think again, m’loves! I am also starting to draw little hearts around the words “WORKING OUT” (even though right now I’m procrastinating going to the gym by writing this post….oops)….who would’ve thunk it?? One tool I’ve come to rely on for motivating my donk onto the treadmill is Daily Mile. OMG. If you love Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr, get thee over to Daily Mile. It’s all those & more. And by more I mean a big fuzzy hug of fellow fitness peeps & lots of pats on the ol’ back. Above is my “profile” page. Whenever you work out…and not just running…any sort of fitness will do….you jot down some notes about it. How did you feel, what did you do, how many calories you burned, how far you traveled….etc. You can find your friends & make new ones in your area. People will comment & motivate & even offer some killer advice. It’s purdy awesome to see people who’ve already achieved success in workout world. And it kind of guilts you into getting your butt in gear….I don’t want those successful people to think I’m some sort of sloth. MUST. GET. MOVING. As far as social media goes, Daily Mile is one of the simpler sites I’ve tried. It literally takes a minute to sign up. Everything is laid out in the most efficient way possible. You’ll be gaining new ball busting buddies in no time. Give it a try & let me know what you think! :)
