Headaches and Hotdogs

So I have had a headache for the past three days but it wasn't nearly as bad yesterday. The headaches a from the no Dr. Pepper I am having. Woo Woo. This morning Char got me something for breakfast and she asked if I wanted a Diet DP and I said no I will have water when I get to work well she shows up all sweet with a small Dr. Pepper. Very sweet but tested my will power so I waited until I finished eating and took about five small sips to get the food taste out and then threw it away immediately. I am reading a book by Dr. Peeke Fit To Live and she says you have to adjust and adapt. She went out to eat with this model one time in and foreign country at a famous restaurant and they had a very healthy delicious meal and the waiter came and asked if they wanted dessert and the model says I hear you are famous for your desserts and he says yes we have 3 we are very well known for and she says I will have one of each. Dr. Peeke thought oh no she is bulimic and when they came out the model had one bite of the first and savored it and did so with the second and third. Then she looked around and frowned and looked back at the desserts and then poured salt all over all three. She said her personal asst. usually had the waiter come get the desserts and take them after she had her bites so they didn't so she poured the salt. She said she wasn't going to travel the world and eat at the most amazing restaurants in the world and not enjoy it fully. I thought that was very interesting. Expensive. But interesting. So I tossed 3/4 of the Dr.Pepper.

I have upped my water a lot but not to the full 8 glasses a day. I am drinking about 5 or 6. This is very good for me because I normally only have the DP or sweet tea at home.

Char and I have talked more about trying again sooner rather than later. We were thinking of waiting until Jan or Feb but we talked about doing it in the next couple of months though. We want to ask her doc about Clomid. Anyone with any insight on this? I have no idea how you get on it or how long you have to be on it to ttc. I hope it all works out. Char and I are both so ready to have a child.

Well I should do some work for now.

So many things have happened since my last blog. Unfortunately a new little one was not one of them but we are getting geared up to get back into the swing of it. I finished my first and last season with the Shreveport Aftershock. It is a proffessional women's football team. It was great and my wife and I met so many great people. Four of them are in the pic on the left. We are from left to right...Me (leigh), my wife (Char), Suzanne, Jen (Juice), my buddy (ATodd) and my buddy's wifey (Steph). We have made it through a summer of a week long vacation with the inlaws, my grandfather had his second bypass surgery is was six at one time the first time was a quad, my papaw has been in and out of the hospital with his heart, my brother and my beautiful silly nephew have moved back to North Carolina with his wifey, bought a new Toyota Tundra CrewMax (planning to put lots of kids in the back) two weeks later fender bendered the Beautiful new truck, cried like crazy it was my first wreck, we went canoeing (see the pick above) and probably the most wonderful of all we celebrated our first wedding aniversary. WOOWOO

So now fall is slowly creeping in and the leaves are turning and hopefully someday will can turn the a/c off and open the windows though that comes very late in the year down here in the south and even then you better have good screens on or the mosquitoes will come in and take you away. Football games are roaring at the school behind our house and the drum beat rumbles over to our yard and we sit on our back porch and enjoy a freshly grill something and enjoy the crisp air.

Fall rolling in also means the holidays wont be far behind. And with holidays comes lots of wonderful food. Then there is the new years resolutions that come and so quickly go for the most part. So Char, ATodd, Steph and I have decided to tackle them early. Early Bird gets the worm, right?. So as of yesterday Sept 24,2007 we started our "fitness challenge" for lack of an even more corny name. We are putting 20$ per person a month into a pot to be won on christmas by whoever has lost the most weight precentage wise. It has to be done by making healthy lifestyle changes with no assistance from diet pills.

I think I will add my fitness challenge journey into the blog and see if that helps. My biggest step will be to cut out the cokes or in my case Dr. Pepper. So far I have not had a Dr. Pepper or coke of any kind in 43 hrs. WooWoo. I have also lost one pound of course I know that will vary day to day but hey I am celebrating any little victory.

Well I must do some work. I will blog more later. We do plan on ttc again very soon. More about that later.
