New Year's Resolutions (mine)

This year (next year?), instead of doing traditional resolutions, I'm doing a 101 Things in 1001 Days list. I'll be tracking that list in a separate blog, here.

New Year's Resolutions (not mine)

According to this article from Fitness.com ...

"Many people tend to make unrealistic goals when it comes to creating a New Year’s Resolution based on health and fitness. Many rush immediately to a gym to sign up, go for a few weeks, and then decide to give up. Instead of making these unreachable goals for yourself, why not start with something simpler. Here are some suggestions to creating a more manageable and achievable New Year’s Resolution."

Had the Annual Gyn Exam yesterday

Waiting on results, no reason to believe there's anything to worry about. I do have to do some follow up tests though. This was one of the first times at any doctor's appointment that I remembered every single thing I wanted to ask about. I'm changing my birth control pill.

Oh, and it seems I have lost weight.

Blech - sinus trouble

The past week or so, I've been bogged down by some sort of sinus problem.  I'm not sure if it's allergy-related, infection, inflammation of some kind or what.  I just know I've been sneezing a lot, really congested and usually with pressure, if not pain, in my sinuses.  Add to that, that my sinus problems usually lead to nausea, and if I'm not lucky, strep throat (because the mucus drips backward down my throat and feeds the bad bacteria.  Blech.)

I was getting really fed up, not to mention about to run out of Tylenol Allergy pills, when a good friend reminded me that I own a Neti Pot.  Huzzah.

I originally bought it because my sinuses seem to dry out sometimes.  But hey, it's for rinsing, right?

It totally worked.  I could tell the difference almost immediately.  I had to repeat the next day, but still - a whole day's worth of relief from something I already own!
