Day Thirteen

Heath and I drove to Myrtle Beach and back today. It was a long trip, but worth it because I got to meet some of his family. We started the morning by eating "egg mcmuffins" made by me. I definitely like to be in control of the amount of butter and the English muffins. I also baked some Hash Browns which Heath threw in the garbage. I thought they tasted fine, but apparently he wanted to make some point. Since we left early and did not make it home until past midnight, walking on the treadmill did not happen. I did have my pedometer with me most of the day and I walked 5858 steps.

Day Eleven

Last night on call I had Frito's, soda, and a mozzerella and tomato sandwich. When I got home, I had some cereal and went directly to bed and sleep for eight hours. I decided not to do any exercise due to my being tired due to my three hours of sleep on the previous day. I was beginning to have auras and was frightened that I might have another seizure. I had my pedometer on at work and I walked 6449 steps. So two days of not walking on the treadmill means that my challenge of seven days on the treadmill did not go so well. I am going to restart, although, I have a feeling that the treadmill will not be feasible on Saturday due to the day trip to Myrtle Beach. I'm not on call next week, so hopefully it will happen then. I am becoming discouraged. I have been doing well in my second challenge of no fast food for a week. Heath and I already discussed not stopping for fast food on Saturday. We discussed eating before we go, so I guess I will stop by the store and pick up some items for breakfast on Saturday and perhaps something to eat on the trip.
