I felt a little bit more normal today. I am still taking a hefty dose of cough medicine as I can't lay down without the dry, nagging, cough, but it's a definite improvement from yesterday.
Hannah stayed home from school today with a sore throat. I think she has been battling allergies though. I made an appointment for her to go to the doctor, but she was feeling better by lunch time, so I cancelled it. I am giving her some medicine over the counter. She's not miserable so I figured I'd spare her the antibiotics if she didn't really need them.
The big outing today was to go get my oil changed. Hannah and I went to Cracker Barrel while we were waiting. We spent some time watching the bluebirds, chickadees, blue jays, cardinals and mourning doves in the bird feeder and were really excited at the variety. There was a shifty orange tabby cat wandering in and out of view as well.
I have my fasting bloodwork and follow up with my regular doctor this coming Friday. I will be interested to see how my cholesterol and sugar are doing since changing my eating habits. I still have days where I am not following everything to the letter, but most days I have managed to make significant changes. If nothing else, I've lost over 17 lbs in the time I allotted myself. I almost wonder if I would have lost more if I hadn't reached my goal. I think I've let myself slide and get a little lazy. The next phase though is going to be to add in some regular exercise. I am not a fan of mindless repetition, but I don't see anything else happening on a regular basis, so I guess I will be joining Keith on the elliptical and whatnot.
