For 5-6 days I’ve had a bad cough, keep losing my voice, and light headed on & off. Still, I’m doing ok with my eating and most of my fitness goals. I don’t seem to be running a temp. other than at night sometimes. I seem to have the same level of energy until I use it all up at work and then all I want to do is eat a light meal and recoup. I’ve not been sleeping very good at night due to bouts of coughing so naps are very welcome in the early afternoon.
July Goals
1. Eat more meatless meals
2. Drink enough water:
3. Strength train 5 times a week
4. Tai-Chi/Chi Gong twice a week
I’ve done great this last week with eating more meatless meals

I strength trained 5 days
No Tai-chi/Chi Gong, due to being tired and lightheaded

I had to go to the dr. last week to get blood test results. and when they took my blood pressure, it had gone from 120/68 to 160/72 which was in a 3 month period. I’ve been feeling a little stressed lately due to a combination of things but I didn’t think it was enough to make my bp go up, especially that much. It freaked me out! Then the doctor came in and told me my all blood test results came back good so I was overjoyed to hear that!
Anyway…starting today (for June) I’m going to work on getting my bp back to 120/68 by doing more deep breathing & meditation, yoga & tai-chi and eating healthier.

It’s warmed up here with the nights not being cold either so I’m liking it. No more changing the thermostat from a/c to heat and then back again every day. There has been a bit of rain every so often but the humidity is still low. I hope it’s warmed up for you all.

It’s finally warming up, yea! I’m doing good and even did some yoga. I’ve got a bit addicted to decaff caramel ice coffee so my water intake is down which is not good. I’ll work on that. I should meet all my goals for March and am trying to figure out what goals to set for April. Does anyone know of any April challenges coming up?

It’s been cold at night, down in the low 30’s. There was frost on my car four mornings in a row, thick enough that my wipers couldn’t wipe it off my windshield. I’ve been freezing! Even with the heat on 74° and covered up with 2-3 blankets, I’m freezing. I’m past ready for spring like weather.
