Hi everyone. I still have a fever today, plus the usual cold symptoms, plus a sore throat. I think maybe I should take a few days off from working out and rest as much as possible. It's hard to do, but a little easier since my cardio is limited anyway. x( The hard thing is also that if I take a day off from working out, I tend to fill that time with other active things like shopping or raking leaves or cleaning house. I think I should actually rest. Is it possible? (Not entirely possible with 2 small boys around.) I think if I still feel crummy on Monday I'll try to make an appointment with my doctor. Weeks and weeks of illness is too long. I know about 3 weeks ago I sent an email to a friend and said something like "I'm sick and tired of being sick" so I'd already been sick long enough at that point!
Right now I have color on my hair and I'm waiting to go rinse. Yes, I get my haircolor from a bottle. I was blond as a child and I think my natural color is still blond, but a dark blond almost brown. I am too pale to pull that off well, so I keep it a lighter blond. DH also met me as a blond and I think he prefers it, so I keep it up. I could be going gray under there for all I know.
I'm a real pro at coloring it myself by now. In college I went with new colors all the time but now it's just various shades of blond.
Good thing about being sick and not working out is I eat less. Maybe I'll manage to lose weight this week?
Belinda, that's great that your DH will try Cathe weights with you. I tried to give my DH some form pointers recently when he was lifting weights (which he does seldom) and it just annoyed him. He never even considers trying a video with me.
Amelia, I'm getting back on track today, too--back to Core for me. Just pretend I'm holding your hand today (or smacking it if you're naughty). We'll work together!
Lori, your weight-crazed friend sounds pretty nuts! I know the type, though. Ugh. I hope she's not making herself ill with it.
Carrie, I'm still impressed how you're tackling P90X! I was looking at my Amazon wishlist the other day and realized I'd put it on there. I had forgotten I asked for it. I doubt anyone will spend that much, though!
OK, time to go rinse soon. Gotta get those roots lightened up!
