My weekend was really something. Friday night was pretty usual. At about 4:00 am on Saturday morning, Bug complained of back pain. I went to my SIM run at 5:30am and let Bug try to sleep things off with his dad. The run was great. We did speed drills and a little coordination techniques to help fine tune our skills. I am getting faster and faster. I finished one lap in 1 min 37 seconds. I know that's not really fast for true runners, but that is good for a novice like myself. Anyway, after the run, I stopped and picked up breakfasta and came home. Bug was still hurting and very still. This is not in his personality. He moves at all times. He usually can't keep still.
I decided to give him a warm bath. Maybe he sprained a muscle or something. The bath didn't help. I called the doctors office and they said to bring him in because it might be a UTI. I knew this wasn't the case because he was grabbing his leg even though he mentioned his back. So we got dressed to head to the ER and after the ER visit we were going to head to Oxford to the 2nd annual Juneteenth festival. We went last year and had a great time so we knew that this year would be even better. We arrived at the ER at 9:50 am we did not leave until 5:30 pm. They were so unnecessarily slow it didn't make any sense. The ER was not crowded. They only took blood work and X-rays which took 15 minutes total. The rest of the time was waiting. So we didn't get a chance to go to Oxford. Boooooo. I am glad that Bug was okay. They said that it was probably growing pains. Yes that is right. I will received a $250.00 bill in the mail for growing pains. When will I learn.
So we got home from the ER. Fred took a nap. He was extremely tired since his work schedule has changed. Bug got started playing. He played hard. I was reading my books and making notes as usual. Bug came up to me and tapped me on the arm. GREEN MOUTH, GREEN TEETH. "I ate crayon!" He said. What! I shouted. He was so proud of himself. He showed me what was left of the crayon. He thought he had done something special. He smiled and took a picture. I scolded him (trying not to laugh) and we brushed his teeth. Kids, gotta love em :)Sunday, we went to Paula Dean's at Harrah's. This is what Fred wanted to do for Father's Day. We had never been there before. I love how the restaurant was set up like a house in the country. I don't know if it is because I don't eat like I used to or what, but I wasn't that impressed with the food. Don't get me wrong the food was good and it had great presentation, but I wasn't that into it. Can you believe it??? Mia Cole not into it. I just ate a little and sat down. I am just not into overeating anymore. It's not fun. What is fun was spending time with them. Fred and bug are two of the most interesting, exciting, lovable people in the world. I guess I am a little bias. They are great. Bug is such a character. He works really hard to make us laugh at him. He had always been like that. Even as an infant. He may be a born comedian. As long as he keeps his materal clean and God centered, Mommy wouldn't have a problem with that as a profession :)
Anyway, healthwise, I was a little thrown off track with the trip to the ER. I didn't do my planning, cleaning schedule or food schedule for this week. So I am going to do it tonight after Fred leaves for work. I was like a lost child without it. I had also planned to go to the farmer's market to get fresh organic food, but ....ER.
I read an article in the Muscle Fitness for Her magazine that focused on how humans ate thousand of years ago. They didn't eat any grain at all. I was not aware of this. They only at fruit, vegetables and meat. No rice, corn, or wheat. The article talked about how grains were never ment to be eaten unless they are processed. The author of the article lost over 100 pounds by eating only fruits, veggies and meats. I am still thinking about this way of eating, but my spirit agrees with it. We will see in the near future if I am able to let go of the grain.
This mornings workout was terrible. I was so lazy this morning. I only managed to push out 45 minute of working out. I just didn't feel like it. I went to the gym, lifted weights, and completed 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. Although my workout was terrible, my scripture reading while completing this workout was excellent. I guess today was not a have it all day. I'm tired, gonna plan as much as I can before I get to tired. Good night world.
