This is after 6 days of antibiotics already in me. The view is looking at me straight on. You can see the round balls (eyes), the swirlies in the middle (nasal passages), and an outline of my molars at the bottom. The right side of the pic should look more like the left and even the left shouldn't have that gray stuff down by the molar. All that gray stuff instead of black (black is air space- sinus) is infection. There's some up in my ethmoids (back between the eyes) and my deep septum is all whack. I had a septa-rhinoplasty back in May 2012 to try to breathe better, but I guess there's more work to be done and to suck this crap out of my head. No wonder I'm tired and grumpy. I'll bet I lose a pound or tow just from this junk getting gone. Not really, but we'll pretend.
Ya so last week I took off exercise once I found out how bad my infection was. I had done Pilates and Tone to Stone Monday and Tuesday because the cortisone shot and antibiotics I got at the walk-in made me feel a million times better! You know it's time to head to the doc when your teeth hurt from eating avocado.
It was even more important that I eat well since I wasn't getting a burn on, but stress got the better of me when Liam got sent home from day care throwing up Friday (and I just got the news I needed sinus surgery) and I gave in. Had a Bailey's on the rocks, 2 Twist cupcakes (learned from my tummy ache, one will suffice) and then I took off Paleo all day Saturday for Australia Day. Which translates to pikelets for breakfast (almost like pancakes), sausage rolls, half a coke, and another Bailey's. I was actually good at dinner just because steak, sweet potato and broccoli sounded yummy. I had a roll and half & half tea though too.
And boy did I feel AWFUL. Not sure if it was eating all that yuck or it was getting Liam's stomach bug (Steve was sick Sunday too) or both, but my guts hurt. Still not quite the same even today. Hope to be back to normal by the weekend. My joints ached, I felt weak and just blah. I always regret when I stray too far.
So last week's calcs went like this:
Body Calcs- 1/23/13
Weight: 150 lbs DOWN 0.6 lbs, GOAL: 7 lbs less (I snuck a weigh-in and I was 148 so not sure how this happened, oh well.
Waist: 29" DOWN 0.5", GOAL: 1" less
Hips: 36.5" SAME, GOAL: 1.5" less
Butt: 41" SAME, GOAL: 1" less
Thigh: 24" DOWN 0.5", GOAL: 1" less
Arm 12" SAME
Body Fat (done 24 Jan 2013) 29% UP 1.5%? But the first calc might be off because I did one round of a workout before taking body fat comp. Will know better in another week how I'm trending.
So Waist and Thigh went down some which makes me not worry about the weight and body fat % quite as much.
After my splurge weekend and not exercising from midweek on last week, I don't know if I'll have good news tomorrow for Week 4 results. We'll see!!
