Rest and Recovery

Today is an R&R day - in lots of ways.

My body gets a break from working out. (I can "feel" my lifting workout, but I can still move - yea!!)

I need my "work-hangover" recovery too.  I'm tired.  And, unfortunately, my stomach woke me up at 4:45am for multiple bathroom trips.  So now I'm "up" ... barely.  Did I mention I'm tired??

Yesterday was very nice.  Felt the love.  Lots of kind words, big hugs, compliant lunch (they scrapped breakfast since I "eat weird" lol) and a $100 Starbucks card.  I mention the amount because - wow!!  Let the coffee drinking begin!  I have a lot of mixed feelings (but I'm tired so they will have to wait lol).

We have a bit of stress back in our lives.  This crazy work time for hubby got unexpectedly extra crazy.  Sale may be on hold.  It's not a horrible thing (and in the long run might be a good thing) but for now it means stress.

Also, (probably no big deal) I'm having trouble with food feeling "stuck" in my throat.  Am I chewing like a moron?  Rushing my eating?  A couple of days ago a green bean got stuck.  And I often think it feels like I have a lump in my throat.  I clear my throat for about 10 min after I eat.  Just odd stuff.  Someone mentioned thyroid nodules.  Had an (unofficial) ultrasound at work yesterday.  Nodules - some of concern - just a watch and see.  I need to schedule a physical.  But doc said they wouldn't cause my lump issue.  I'm probably being paranoid ... ugh.

I was too tired to read last night.  I'll have to push to get through The Happiness Project by Monday.  I hope it picks up again.  Not as relatable (for me) as it was in the beginning.  I'm glad I'm waiting until Monday to begin all this HAPPY lol- gives me a couple recovery days so I'll be pumped and energetic to get started.

I did well expecting a rough eating day.  I ate a lot, but all good stuff.  Planning does help - doesn't always work, but it does help.  Yesterday it worked.

Late this afternoon we are playing golf.  My first time back.  I might not play every hole - pacing myself (per orders!).  Either way, it will be nice relaxing time with my main man.

The rest of today is full of R&R.  Walk the dog, Starbucks, watch hubby play tennis and a couple of phone call catch ups planned.  By tomorrow I should be rested, recovered and AMAZING!!
