Well today was fun. not. I went from the bed to the couch and back to the bed again. I am so tired of this! I did get bored stiff and had to clean the house just a tad. and we had no clothes so I did a couple loads.

Some days, like today, when I am sicker than sick, I wish for a partner that can take care of me and my house. However, when I look back on my past relationships I remember that even when I did have a man around the house, they didnt take care of me when I was sick anyways, so I mean really…whats the point of having a guy if they wont take care of me when I am down? So to make a long story short, I think I will just take care of myself. ugh. time for bed now :(

I went to get my prescription filled today. It was a combo of Amoxic/Clav 500 MG. Talk about horse pills. Anyways, I had to first get my insurance card and my HSA insurance checks. Since we just switched to Blue Cross, I was not sure how to do the billing part. However, at the pharmacy, they knew and took care of it all; very nice. What I have to do next is finish the On Line part. It’s just that their site is not that user friendly.

I know some people that have individual health insurance in California. They go through Kaiser Permanente and are very happy with them. I checked out their website and it is very user friendly. I can get a quote and see how much its costs in like a minute. Plus, they cater to any area zip code.

I don’t have a co-pay anymore, but Kaiser has options to have co-pays, HSA and deductibles. They have much more choices than we do. I wish my company had more than one choice. I would choose Kaiser if they did. hrmp.

Okay. I am back. I cannot sleep! I wonder if the medicine the nurse gave me is preventing me from sleeping. So, I guess I can blog for a while and surf around reading other peoples blogs. I love doing that; the problem is that I dont have much time to just sit on the pc and surf. I have to get the kiddo from school this afternoon too…oh and wash the clothes, and we have Piano lessons, oh, and I cannot forget dinner either. My dear friend from DC says I need a wife. ha ! So True. XO

Good gosh I still feel like a truck ran over me. I went to see the Nurse downstairs at work and she said I have Sinusitis and Bronchitis, plus she also tested me for Pneumonia. I am not doing so good. She also gave me this breathing test, like hyperventilating she said, and it gave me the shakes so bad. Scared the bajeebaz out of me. So I am now at home. The boss and my entire team is worried they will catch what I have so they sent me home. Till Monday. Those nice people. On the way home though, it was rather difficult driving being so shaky. Even now my hands are still trembling and wont be still. I was worried I would get into an accident. Low and behold I did see one, but was not involved. People just plow through intersections and don’t look. When I was on my motorcycle way back when, some young girl hit me square on. Luckily I did not need a Personal Injury Lawyer for that one, but it did scare me enough to sell my bike. I think I will lay down now….

I am having withdrawls. This has happened to me before when I first started my diet and lost my original 40 pounds. But now, I gained 12 back and have to get back with it! For the past few weeks we have been eating terribly; pizza, hamburgers and tacos. So much meat! I can feel the grease in my skin. Anyways, I am back to eating only veggies and no meat. However, my body is not used to this anymore. I have had a terrible headache, my stomach is screaming for food, I cant sleep, I am grumpy all the time and feel just lousy. Granted, this could be due to that fact that I am still sick, but I dont think so. I have to detox my body, and after about a week of this, I should be cleaned out (sorta speak). I am going down to see the Nurse today (as we now have a nurse here at work!) to make sure I am okay health wise.

I am really looking foward to next week. When these withdrawls are over and done with!

Okay. Forget my previous post. I found a better site to track my weight and diet progress. Thanks to my friend Grace, she recommended this one: SparkPeople. This site is easier to navigate, well for me at least. I know there are tons of sites online out there, and I have to find one best for me. And one that is free, wee hee! Thanks Grace !

I have been thinking about canceling my Weight Watchers on line account. I still get the Magazines however, I am not using the on line program much anymore. Plus, this is costing me $14.95 a month. So if I cancel, it will save me quite a bit year end. I have been looking into other on line programs and think I have found one that I like. I know I need a daily tracker to input every bit of food I put in my mouth otherwise I will gain weight. With FitReach I can log all my food, count calories, fat, carbs and protein on a daily basis. They even have graphs to show my progress, I can download my before and after picture, and if I can even access the site on any mobile device, as in iPhone, etc. Basically the same as Weight Watchers with out the fee. I can also track exercise too. Which of course, I don’t do because I don’t exercise! But I do plan my meals in advance, and I need to print out my daily foods so that I don’t eat what I am not supposed to eat! I am very strange that way, I have to write it all down and stick to the plan. Sounds good to me, now I just have to make the change.
