Monday catch up

I was so excited to get my secret santa gift over the weekend!!!  I got a running jacket and a camelback waterbottle.  It is so me that at first I thought I had ordered it while I was sick (more on that later) before I saw the note.  Love Love Love it!!!  Can't wait to use them tonight with my running group!!

I ended up getting sick last week for the first time since my surgery.  I was at work and told my boss I wasn't feeling well and probably needed to go home.  I work on the third floor and made it to the 1st floor restroom before I started throwing up.  I mean really throwing up, not over eat throwing up.  Funny how I can tell the difference.  I was really worried about my band so I called my regular doctor and she was booked up, they told me to go to urgent care.  I called my band doctor and he was in surgery.  I still had some of the anti puke medicine from when I had my surgery so I just went home and used that and laid down.  I slept for 4 hours.  When I woke up I tried to eat a little something and threw up again but not as bad as the first time.  Took more meds and slept for the night.  I ended up taking two days off work but probably would have been ok to go back the next day.  My stomach was just so sore. 

My weight is kind of holding steady at 145.  I got down to 144 after the puke fest but didn't expect it to last.  I am so ready for my new gym to open!!  They said it would be ready the end of this month but I haven't seen any messages showing an opening date yet.  I didn't run at all last week because of the illness so I am really looking forward to getting out there tonight.  I am pretty sure I am going to sign up for the Little Rock half marathon in March.  Lord help me and my shins with those hills!!!
