My Body Still Doesn't Feel Like it's Rockin'

I had planned to go for blood tests today but I actually forgot to fast this morning. I was fixing the boys breakfast and popped some of their Cheerios in my mouth. Oops. Now you know one of my bad eating habits--munching on the kids' breakfast before I even have my own. I thought, well, it was only a handful or so, and went and Googled the rules about fasting. It turns out I couldn't even chew gum because it would activate my digestive system or something like that. So now I plan to go get them done tomorrow morning. To make sure I didn't mess up again, I put post-its around the kitchen (on the fridge, on the coffee pot, etc.) saying "FAST" so I wouldn't forget. Hmm, I wonder if that means I can't have my cough drops when I go to bed (lately I've been sleeping with cough drops--and nope, I don't choke on them--because of my sore throat). I guess I'll have to try it. Oh, and when I say sleeping with cough drops, I mean I put one in my mouth and suck on it as I go to sleep and when I wake up in the night with a sore throat I suck some more or get another one out. OK, never mind. I'll just take some water upstairs with me tonight.

Today I did Rockin' Body Cardio Jam with Michelle Dozois. It's a rather silly-sounding name for a workout, but I enjoyed it well enough. It was a good thing for a week when I'm still coughing a bit as I try to work out and I burned about 400 calories--not bad for floor aerobics (also with a taste of kickboxing here and there, which I like). I just wish I felt more rockin' but I'm still weary and have that annoying sickness. Ugh.

Speaking of not rockin', I'm going to bed early again tonight. Peace out. (Whatever that means.)
