42 Days Down, 16 Till DisneyWorld!
Today was a rough day at work, I find things seem to be getting more and more complicated, and as a byproduct i'm getting more anxious. I really hope that I can get everything sorted before D-Day. I've got several Packaging pieces and an entire catalog, plus a number of other maintenance design projects to keep moving along. I may have to pull a couple late days to ensure that WDW isn't spoiled by something as stupid as work stress!

Kendra's back, I am SO, SO, Sooooooo happy to have her back. It means everything to have her encouragement and to talk through concerns that I have and have someone so willing to work with me, teach me and guide me through the preverbal rainforest that is working out.
It sure is night and day from my experience with my doctor. Who seemed super pessimistic about me getting back into the swing of things. Kendra's outlook and encouragement makes me resent my doctor a bit. Isn't your doctor the one who should be encouraging you and making sure you know that can do hard things? Poo... I say to her POO! I feel frustrated that she seems so disinterested in me and more interested in making me feel bad for the fact that I fell off the wagon, so to speak. Hey! I feel that having a parent die is a pretty good reason for some set backs. >:( Grumble...
Still feeling the ick from my new meds. I know that when I call my doctor though, she'll basically tell me to test my glucose levels and then she'll do something... I'm annoyed. So I guess I have to finally get my glucose monitor thing sorted... Sigh, I hate that stupid thing, and pricking my finger. Not fun.
Upside, Kendra agrees with me, (take that doctor lady!!!) that with me working out so much that some of the meds should be adjusted to smaller doses so that I don't have an experience like I had this morning.... In the wee hours of the morning (3:40 am) to be exact. I woke up in an anxious shaking state. During the night my blood sugar dropped and I started having symptoms of hypoglycemia, shaking dizziness, weakness, and sweating and disorientation.
I'm not jiving with that AT ALL! Desperately scarfed a fig bar to bump up my sugar levels so that I didn't pass out. Yikes! Super Scary feeling, I'll tell you what. I don't want to experience that again.
Worked out today, did a ton of cardio. Kendra taught me about using these stiff foam roller's to loosen and stretch and work out your muscles. Crazy, I felt so awkward rolling around on this thing that resembles a burnt toosie roll... But It's nice to do new things, and to continue to learn new ways to work out and get stronger. Love that!
Sweatmagetton strikes again. Doing extra cardio really gets me going.
Feels good to work out! It's just a day over two weeks from now that I'll be in the happiest place in the world. Ahhhhh! So pumped. Hope that these next couple weeks of working out really get me ready for all that walking.
Didn't do nearly as much walking today as yesterday. I didn't really realize how little of my steps came from the workout and not from the walking around the mall yesterday! Crazy.
1685 Steps today... I feel like this is an average step day for me... But I guess I'll see what happens as I go. I can do hard things, even when the doctor doesn't believe in me! IN YOUR FACE DOCTOR LADY!!! HA!
