    Sorry I’ve been inactive for the last week! I’ve had to focus on my health cuz I was really scared! On Friday, July 30th, I got bit by what I think was a spider. When i got home from work and changed into shorts, my sister asked me what the red spot on the back of my leg was and she took a picture of it and it was similar to a mosquito bite but much bigger. I was like I have no clue. At first, I didn’t think anything of it and just shook it off. Well as the weekend went on, that spot turned into a big red rash. And on Monday my cousin was like you need to get it checked out. So I did. I went to urgent care and it was definitely an infection. I was prescribed a strong antibiotic and the dr told me that if it got worse to go to the hospital. So for the last week I was freaking out and hoping the antibiotics would work. That’s literally all I could focus on. Plus my right foot kept swelling making it hard to walk. It was just a miserable week. I vowed myself though that once I was done with the antibiotics that I was gonna go and start working on my health!!
    I finished the antibiotic yesterday and the rash is gone. So I’m relieved!

    I’m definitely weighing in tomorrow!
    I feel like this was the wake up call that I needed.

    @rawrxamberx what a scary thing! I'm glad the antibiotic worked and you are back on the path to health!

    Yesterday so glad I got the walk in as the day deteriorated

    Steps 5801
    water 80+

    I did 'un-volunteer' for a big event that was starting to eat up too much time and would have required burning a week of vacation time at work. That felt so liberating!

    I'm in a class for work most of today and tomorrow - and I LOVE classes, so that should be happy.

    Working to fit exercise in to the plan, and thinking about re-starting a 'metabolic effect' program I tried years ago with some success. Three 20 minute workouts (strength+heart rate elevation) each week is the basis.

    Yesterday was not so great. STill battling an occipital headache from tight back/shoulder muscles and it's been almost a week - argh! BUT, this morning I popped some ibuprofen and went for a short bike ride on my recently put back together road bike. I even wore cycling shorts and a jersey. It felt really good...

    @prehistoricmoongoddess yes, but only slightly (like you said) and you are still well under the 140 mark, which I know is important for you! After a few days away, not bad at all.
