When I lived in MS, my allergies were a pain. But after I moved to PA, I didn't suffer from allergies at all ... until now. (sigh). This year has been tough! After the 5K this weekend, I've been miserable.

I stayed inside for Tuesday's run and hit the treadmill. Thursday, I had planned to venture out with Lil Man in the jogging stroller, but I opted for a power walk on the treadmill.

Today's run was also indoors. I pushed through a 3 mile tempo run, but I feel awful. I took Allegra this morning (again), and it's just not helping. So I went and bought some Zyrtec. I took it also. I wish I could say that I felt a lot better, but honestly I don't. And, yes I know you aren't really supposed to take Allegra and Zyrtec together. I am aware they are both antihistamines. But I'm sneezing non stop and trying to find some relief.

I'm hoping since the Allegra didn't work, that the Zyrtec will help. I know it can take several days before it actually really 'works' the way that it is supposed to.

My LR this weekend is 10 miles. I do not plan to do that on the treadmill. So I really hope I'm better by Sunday!

    My allergies are TERRIBLE, especially this year. And I live in TN so you understand!

Why I'm Weighing In

It's no secret that nutrition has been my struggle for several years now. As I type this I'm in the trenches of giving up sugar for 14 days (I'm Giving Up Sugar For 14 Days). I'm also doing a weight loss challenge with less than a week to go.

The reason I am weighing in is because I'm experimenting to see if I have maybe found what works for me in regards to losing weight and then hopefully maintaining.

So far, I've lost 7lbs since January 1. I'm

My Personal Experience With Essential Oils

I seriously used to laugh at those who used essential oils. It reminded me of people who used to sell snake oil. Every time that I got sick or had an ailment, friends would ask if I had tried this or that oil, I would politely smile and say that I hadn't. I've always been skeptical - the roll your eyes kind of skeptical.

A few months ago, a teacher friend was having a doTERRA party with the option of purchasing $5 roller ball bottles. I didn't make it to the party, but I did buy a few roller ball bottles. For $5 I thought I'd give it a try, then I could tell those that yes I've tried it and move on so to speak.

I even laughed as I told my mom that I was giving them a try. I told her that I didn't think it would work, but it was worth trying. (I'd been dealing with a sinus infection for weeks that just wouldn't go away.)

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day (that I thought I had planned) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
