Last week I mentioned my abscess on my leg, which unfortunately flared up majorly and painfully so much it had to be drained yet again and this time packed with steri strips.

Its amazing that something that started out small, grew in 4x its size within days. I’ve been going to the doctor several times getting it checked finally today good news its on the mend officially. I’m so relieved otherwise surgery was in my future.

So needless to say last week I ended up bombing on my clean eats, either too little food because the pain was just too bad to eat, or the wrong kind of food. I think I’ve become a germaphob now after all this, constantly checking my son for abscesses, antibacterial soap in every room.

Last workout was Thursday and to be honest I did that thru some pain, tried toughing it out thinking I was being a big old baby, so I’ve not worked out since well the nasty abscess shrinks.

Haven’t been able to sit for long periods in my office, thus I haven’t been able to check on peoples blogs, hope your holiday weekend was a good one.

One more doctor appointment next week and as long as it keeps healing like it has since Friday no surgery! I’m glad its healing, the idea of any more surgery on my body sickens me.

When you start going thru withdrawals. In my case workouts. Ended up having to have an abscess drained on my leg, no workouts Monday or Tuesday which to be honest was probably best, Monday even the simple act of walking was painful. Along with the pain I kept thinking, man I should be working out, yep I’m a workout addict.

Today I did a light workout, walking is still not up to normal but far better than Monday. I’ve never had an abscess before and apparently mine is stubborn, hoping by Friday it will not be so painful. Otherwise back to the doctor.

So today, no real cardio, couldn’t do my rbike, sitting down on a hard surface hits the darn thing just right, thus pain.

5min wu on treadmill(side note I hit 1000 miles on Friday when I did my workout I was just so busy I didn’t blog that day)

one arm db rows: 23×35x3

military press/seated: 15×35x3

hammer curls: 15×35x3

Did each set as a big old circuit and in between each set I walked for 5min on my treadmill, so 20minutes all together on the treadmill.

Been taking the kiddo to the batting cages this week. He can hit fine if you pitch to him but the pitching machine he can’t, mainly I think its fear, so hopefully he’ll get over that fear the more we go to the batting cages.

83 degrees here, beautiful!!!!

Uh no, the paperwork for this damn test said no eating or drinking. "did you have anything to drink?" Uh hello did you not listen to what I said? No eating or drinking.

"please drink this, it might taste slightly unpleasant" Uh ok…gag….cough… slightly? "here drink this, it might make you want to burp" as opposed to the other stuff that made me want to puke?? "good, good" Now I just need you to drink these 2 containers of stuff.(think chalk ground up and water added) and I’d like you to drink these(both 16oz) in the next 10minutes.

And that is how my test went today. As I’ve been going thru these tests to figure out my anemia, I’ve changed what I ask God from "please let me be ok" to "Hi God, its me again, if you could just let them finally give me an answer for my iron issues I’d be thrilled" Figure he heard enough from me 4 1/2 years ago going thru my cancer treatment begging with him.

So as I layed there for my tests of course my cold says "hi, I’m still here" and I hack out my lung so to speak, one of the people there ask "Do you have a cold?" Lets see the violent hacking cough, uh there’s your sign.

Got my cardio in 30min HIIT on my rbike

As much as I loathe the idea because to be brutally honest I go out of my way to not go to the doctor when I’m sick, because I’ve basically have had enough with doctors visits these last 4 1/2 years, I’m think that if I’m not breathing out of my nose my Thursday its back to the doctor.

I also went for a blood test today checking for Celiac I believe, so the week prior bread, and pasta which I avoid were in my diet, apparently by avoiding it if I do have Celiac no antibodies will really show.

I was going to have a snack of carrots and peanut butter but uh after reading Shannon’s blog from a couple days ago I think it will be celery and pb.
