I'm alive

>> Monday, August 24, 2009

I go from posting multiple times in one day to falling off the planet.

Sorry. I'm here. I'm alive.

Friday I didn't workout because I had to get to work early.
Saturday we went tubing down the Salt River with a bunch of people from work. It was a blast and I can't wait to do it again.

Unfortunately, the SPF50 I usually wear in the Michigan sun did very little to protect me from the Arizona sun and I got extremely sun burnt. Every inch of me is sun burt and on my stomach and back (don't ask me why these areas), I have blisters. Yikes. Ouch is right.

We got home on Saturday at about 3:30.

I was in bed by 4:00.

And I slept until 6am on Sunday morning. WOW! That's 14 hours of sleep! I remember waking up at like 10pm and thinking, "If I get out of bed now, I'll really be screwed up so I might as well keep on sleeping..." and that's exactly what I did. I think my exhaustion was mostly a result of the sun I received from being in a tube on a river for 4+ hours.

I would wake up and guzzle an entire bottle of water. I realize now, my husband is so good to me because every time I woke up, the water bottle was full... so he must have noticed that I was drinking it and he would refill it for me :) Aren't I spoiled?

This morning, I went to the gym but I can't workout. I'm incredibly uncomfortable. Not necessarily in pain anymore, but that's probably because I'm limiting my movements! I took my time in the shower (which sucks when you're burnt by the way) and took my time putting on aloe and the works. Hopefully in the next couple of days I'll feel brand new again and be able to workout.

Hopefully I'll get some pictures from the tubing trip that I can post on here... right now, I'm not sure who has the camera from that day.

Wow! 14 hours of sleep in one night! Sounds like something I would do (like). LOL

I am so jealous of the 14 hours of sleep!

Omg, I haven't been tubing in years! How fun.

Sounds like the sun really wiped you out. Sunburn and dehydration and everything, yikes. Take it easy!!

I don't even think I have ever slept for 14 hours!!! HaHa!!

Yes, the cool thing about coupons is matching them up with sales. I know people that could live without going to the grocery store for 1-2 months because of their stockpile. It's insane! We have a month over here...but still need to supplement with fruits, veggies and dairy. So, that's mainly where the $130 is going. And whatever we save can be used for EF!! :)

I'm sorry you got so fried. Ouch! The sun block rule is apply every two hours, every hour if you're active or in water. I'm pretty sure if you're tubing in Arizona in the month of August, the rule becomes apply continuously.

Hope you're feeling better.
