Not A Good Week Fitness Friday Linkup 6/7/2013

-
Not a good week here this week.. I got in one 3 mile run on Tuesday morning. I did wake up with a small case of vertigo Tuesday, but it passed. So I was able to get a 3 mile run in. I even went to the gym and did weights. But around 3pm on Tuesday, the vertigo came back with a vengeance. And it's still here :( 

I have a Half marathon a week from tomorrow. I'm really hoping this clears up soon!

    Sorry to hear this :( I'm injured so I haven't been able to run for awhile now. I feel your pain.

    Hope you're feeling better for your half. Good luck :)

    Oh no! Have you had vertigo before? My mother has meniere's disease and had lots of vertigo problems. She has it under control now, but has had to dramatically eliminate salt from her diet?

      Nope, not really. I had it once about 20 years ago after I was really sick and it was an inner ear thing. I'm feeling better. So I'm hoping that maybe I'm on the mend!

      :) Yeah, I keep reminding myself that technically I've only missed 2 runs (ha). Hopefully I'm going to get well soon so I can get a couple of runs in next week.

    Off weeks sucks, makes you really appreciate the times where you are feeling good.... even if you are tired.
    My kids were sharing caring again, and it looks like I have another cold. I have a 10mi |16km run coming up 15th June, so I would like to be better for that, cause it's an awesome club race.
    Hope you don't get any more vertigo. And good luck with your up coming race.

    First of all I L.O.V.E ice cream, I literally have a list of all the ice cream stands in my area that I will be visiting this summer.....but secondly, don't get down on yourself for a slow running week. Sometimes you just need those, then you'll have an even better one after that!

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?

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
