Wow I did not know that trops. Is natural peanut butter that much better for you? My mom said something about peanut butter all together not being that great for you. She suggested almond butter or another healthier nut.

I'm a little better today, still have a headahce. I have a dr appt on Monday so hopefully we can get things straightened out. My blood pressure is usually within normal range.. however my numbers are always low like 95/70 somewhere in there, I always ask but the doc says its because I'm young...I am interested to see what she says about my headahces though, its really starting to wear on me!!! And I hate not feeling like myself.
I also was not aware of the badness that skippy provides. However I am not a wastful person either. There is about 1/4 of the tub left and when its gone Ill hit up either hold foods or trader joes and see what I can find. I eat pb maybe once a week, if I were eating it everyday I would look into something sooner!! Thanks for the tip!!

Eek!! Yes I try to drink close to 130oz a day. But sometimes I feel like I get a headache from drinking too much water... ugh! My eye doc seems to think its hormones... so who knows!!! I was considering calling and seeing if I can get an appt. sooner than Monday.. especially after last night.

Midday check in.
I acutally feel alright right now. I called my doc to see if they could bump my monday appt to today or tomorrow.. no dice, but I have another doc that I see when my reg doc is booked (she is ALWAYS booked... sometimes I have to wait weeks to see her) and they can see me tomorrow morning. Hopefully we can at least get the ball rolling with my issue so that I can start feeling better... Plus we are going to Cap Cod in 2 weeks and I dont want these damn headahces to ruin my good time!
I am absoutly ravenous today... I am usually not hungry at all, but today its like I'm starving... I just ordered a slice of pizza and a salad for lunch... and I'm sure Ill eat it all!!!
Today's Eats:
Breakfast:
1/2 cup Oatmeal: 2 pts (yes the real kind for once!)
1 tbsp honey: 1 pts (thanks guys the honey was much better than splenda)
8 oz orange juice: 2 pts
Total: 5 points
Note: I was thinking maybe I'm not getting enough vitamin C... ugh I dunno, hence the OJ... it was quite yummy!
Im off to tan and then lunch time!

Yeah, we are only going for a few days on the Cape. Stephen's parents live in central Mass and his bother is on the Cape. I have only been there once, and loved it... we went for a long bike ride along the Canal and sat and watched the lobster catchers and all the huge boats! Hopefully we can do something similar this time! Mmmm and the FRESH FISH!! Being from the desert we don't get much fish here...

My uncle is a lobster fisherman. I love going down to Nova Scotia, it's lobster every night during the season!

Aw boo, that sucks you missed the trip!!
Mid afternoon check in... mostly because I am bored at work and want to stab myself... this will keep the stabby from happening.
I tanned during lunch, just a quick 10 mins... then grabbed my pizza and salad... it was a veggie pizza easy on the cheese and just a tossed salad with a tiny tiny amout of ranch dressing.. I do the whole dip your fork into dressing method... works wonders! So anyway, the pizza place got my order wrong in that I ordered like the personal size and they gave me a small... meaning there is 3/4 of a small pizza left in the fridge.. and its CALLING my name!!! I need to get my mind off of food... I think I eat when I'm bored. I'm not particually hungry.. and I do have an apple or banana I could eat... but the pizza... man its calling me!!!
As for my head I feel pretty good for the most part. I am going to try to convince Stephen that we should do our circut tonight... hopefully he will be up for it.. if not then maybe I'll just do it by myself! My best friend and I are going out tomorrow for drinks and dancing.. I am going to see if she wants to start weight training with me at school... her and I have been buds since we were 8, so over 15 years!!! And yes when we were yonger I was always jealous of her because she was so thin and pretty and popular... and she still is.. just now I can at least borrow some of her clothes!! Her and I go biking together and hiking... but havent recently because of our schedules being so different. Anyway she is pretty athletic and might be interested in training with me... and we work our school schedules so that we get time to hang out... it would be time well spent!
As you can tell I am just rambling... my boss just came in and asked what I was doing... I said "wanting my headache to go away" and he was like I bet a limeade from sonic would fix that... and my response.. "I bet it would but its not worth the calories..." and he just shook his head and walked out... Oops, did I just turn down an offer for a limeade from the boss?????????

Ha ha, I think I did turn down an offer from the boss... oh well!
Just checking in for the evening. I am going to count today as my off day because I seriously just stuffed my face with leftovers from last night. Stephen made a wonderful spaghetti dinner, which I had like two bite of because of my issue last night, but I just made up for it. I didn't have much pasta but plenty of sauce and a huge piece of french bread... and I won't lie! It was amazing!!!
So I had a similar issue as last night when I got home... my head was spinning and my tummy was sick and my heart rate was crazy... One of my co-workers suggested it might be a panic attack?????? I dunno what over! Seriously this is NOT me... you are prolly thinking I am some kind of hypochondriac.. or however you spell it... I am typically a healthy person, I only get sick maybe once a year if that and I hate this!!!!
I feel pretty good right now... my belly is nice and full and my head still hurts just not as bad. Stephen is out in the shop working on his road bike. He got a flat tire last week riding to work so he bought some tire liners and some special tubes, its still pretty warm out but maybe we can go for a walk or even a jog... seeing how I just stuffed my face I feel like I need to get off my ass and make up for it... But I must let my food settle first!
I checked the distance on the Academy loop via Google Earth... its 3.32 miles around... most of it is up-hill. Since I now have a dr appt in the AM I might hold out to do the loop until this weekend and get a video workout in instead. I dont know how long its going to take me and I want to have time to get cleaned up before going to the doc... oddly enough I am curious to know what her scale put me at... I would assume its more accurate than my dinky one here. Ha and I ramble on!!
I get to see my Boomie tomorrow! My dog... I currently have shared custody with him with my parents. They live in the mountains and have a bigger area for him to run and I live in the city with a rather small backyard... Stephen and I usually get him on the weekends... I wish I had him all the time, he's like my little boy... He is a rot/chow mix, I got him from the pound when he was 3 months old... he will be 5 this november... and like I said he is my little boy... he is actually in my avatar pic in the background, but hard to see... I am hard to see who am I kidding?? But I am happy to be getting him, gives us a reason to get out and about... he likes to go hiking aswell!!
Anyway, I will stop rambling and go see if Step needs any help in the garage... I really shouldn't be just sitting... I need to get up and get moving!!!!!!
Cheers!

So my "I could take on the world attitude" lasted long enough to get me through my shower... I was pretty ugh by the time I left here for my appt.
As for my appt, the doc was as baffled as me. And is thinking that it might be my thyroid... But she ran a few in house tests and found everything to be "normal." She ordered a CAT scan as well as fasting blood work to be done for further investigation. Hopefully I can get the blood work done either tomorrow or Monday so that we can get some results. I currently feel okay... my head of course hurts but my tummy is good. I had a bout of nausea right when I got there and it finally passed....
Stephen is working late today, but I think I'm gonna run out to the grocery store and get a few things for lunch. And then maybe just relax for awhile. I'm pretty tired today and my BFF and I are going out tonight and I want to feel somewhat okay for that.
Late Am Snack:
1 Blueberry nutri-grain bar: 3 points

Just thought I would check in....
My BFF and I went out Friday night, hit up a new resturante that has a patio in the downtown area. It was kinda ritzy but good. I ordered a greek salad with chicken breast... it was AMAZING!!!! I also had a Mojito... it was ehh.... We proceeded to bar hop into the night, but for whatever reason it was like old ppl night everywhere we went... So we pretty much got all dolled up for each other!! Which works for me! We drank way too much, laughed hard enough to cry, and hopefully turned a few old guys heads!!!
Yesterday was pretty kick back. Boomer and I went for a walk/jog mid-morning. It was really nice out not too hot. We did about a mile and a half, real slow pace just kinda enjoying ourselves... and then later on Stephen, Boomer, and I walked down to a garage sale about 3/4 mile down the road... it was nice aswell...
Haven't really been tracking food, but I have been eating pretty sensibly. Not over eating... I'm going to make cajun chicken kabobs for dinner with lots of veggies and some brown rice... I will get back with things tomorrow... My goal was to run 25 miles total this month and I am seriously slacking. I have 12.5 miles to do in 5 days (that includes today)... so I need to get with it. We are gonna go do the Academy Loop in about an hour if the weather clears, its currently raining.... which wouldnt be bad but the wind is howling!!! Its 3.5 miles around so that will help... and then I plan to do intervals tomorrow for 3 miles or more depending on how I feel....
I wore shorts again today... and actually felt pretty comfortable... and I put on that old purple bikini today too just to check things out... Stephen's reaction was WWWWOOOOOWWWW!!! Made me feel pretty good. I plan to take pics next weekend for comparison and the world to see...
Hopefully everyone had a good weekend!
Cheers!

Ahh Monday Morning...
Last night was another sleepless one, which is nothing new. However I got out of bed exhausted, which I hate. But I'm awake now and have been at work for just over an hour. I can already tell its going to be a slow day, but I have some research to do so that's fine with me.
Stephen and I did the Academy Loop last night. I would say we ran about 50%, its pretty hilly and we had a head wind. I felt okay when we were done, I kept getting stitches in my side which forced us to stop. Overall I was glad we FINALLY got out and did it. We have been in our house for almost a year and have been talking about doing that loop since so its about time. And we had a nice little convo... OH! And I saw the greatest thing ever, this woman was running with her kids! And they had a pretty quick pace, they blew by Stephen and I. I always like seeing things like that, just because my parents NEVER did anything like that with me. Anyway, the 3.32 miles took us about 55 mins. Like I said we took it nice and slow. I hope we can do it again this coming weekend and better our pace. My goal is to be able to run the whole thing comfortably by Sept. 1st.
I didn't work out this morning, but plan to run and do abs tonight.
Today's Eats
Breakfast:
1 cup cherrios: 2 pts
1/2 cup FF milk: 1 pt
1 Cup lemon tea: 0 pts
1 tbsp honey: 1 pt
1/4 cup soy milk: 0.5 points
Total: 4.5
And thats all for now.
Oh I wanted to mention that both of my parents have decided to do Weight Watchers and start walking. I am interested to see how it goes. My mom has been a dieter all her life, but my dad not so much. But both of them are pretty unhealthy and I am very happy to see them want to make a change. I have tried for years to help out, but with my mom she wants to do it her way and doesnt want anyone to tell her she is wrong... and my dad is just oblivious to the world.... My mom said that they would like to loose collectively 50lbs by Sept 1st. I think its possible, it would be 5lbs a week, but they both have alot to loose. Either way I am excited for them, maybe it will open up a new relationship with them that I didn't have before.
Off to do some research!

Hey, MissD. What did the doctor say about the dizziness?
That's great about your parents, but 5 pounds a week for someone who is that much over weight is a big endeavor. You might want to suggest just 2 pounds a week. If they do better then that, they'll be excited to do more, but if they do less, then they can catch up. 5 pounds a week is doable but not something you want them to think is possible every week.
