Allergies, Sinuses and Headaches- Oh My

Filed under: Holidays,Life — gardener @ 8:38 am

This little cold that I’ve had for several weeks now is still lingering. I thought that I was just about rid of it, but apparently it has arrived back with a vengance. Allergies and sinuses and headaches- Oh My. That’s pretty much how I’ve felt today and keep hoping and praying that I will wake up feeling like me again. I have a feeling that it doesn’t help that I haven’t been getting enough water, nor have I been eating healthy in the least bit.

I even had someone suggest that we ring in the New Year with Drew Estate cigars, which may not be a bad idea to some, but since I’m allergic to smoke, it’s something I think I’ll have to pass on for this year. Everyone else is welcome to partake though, as long as they don’t do it near me.

Right now, I think I need to forgo the water and go straight to the green tea. Maybe that will help, along with a little Tylenol.

Cookie Monster

No, the title of this entry isn’t about that cute furry blue Sesame Street character that most of us loved and envied growing up. Instead, it’s about me, a self proclaimed cookie monster, which is what I’ve become this holiday season. I have not only baked cookies, but I’ve also eaten them, and eaten them….. and eaten them. You get the idea. Needless to say, it’s time to start thinking seriously about my health and fitness aspirations for the new year.

This year I lost 10 pounds. Some people may think WOW, but compared to the year before, there’s nothing really wow about it. I have proven to myself I can maintain weight, but now I need to start getting serious again about getting the rest of this weight off. I really want to reach my goal this coming year.

I can do it, there’s no question about it. Anyone want to come along with me on this journey to weight loss and good health?
