Ah, exercise. So that's what it feels like?

I had a great walk yesterday.

Today, we ran. It has been 3 weeks (or more!) since Ben and I had gone out for a run. I vaguely remember a morning treadmill run in there somewhere...it is all so unclear. Kind of like my sinuses for the last 2 weeks.

Hoping not to be too graphic, but I think the best thing for my sinuses was getting out and running today. Lots of tissues used! But, I feel clearer than I have been in weeks!

It helps that the sun was shining and it was 36 degrees.

My body reminded me just what happens when you don't run for a while. I could not do the entire run; I probably did 2.5 miles out of the 4.2. Nonetheless, I burned 600 plus calories. Which came in quite handy, because today, I baked.


About 170 calories per cookie. Yeah, totally worth that run!

I had a busy morning; I poached a chicken, and now I have chicken for lunches for the week as well as no sodium chicken stock. I have a pot roast in the crock pot. I made the cookies. I even worked on the book.

I worked on the book last night too!

So, I had better get back to work.

Thanks for checking in; hope your Sunday is treating you well!

  4. Kel, if you get a chance, look for something called a netipot. I got one for my sinuses and headed off an infection, I think, right before my Tahoe trip. It basically helps you to run salt water through your nose - in one side, out the other. I always feel like the "I'm a little tea pot" song when I use it...tip me over and pour me out!

  5. Kel I love all those dresses, love the rock necklace, and I think the Christmas photo of you is awesome. Glad you're getting unclogged; as my faeries say, the stuck is becoming unstuck. Good news!
