Hey guys. Remember me? Well, I am not dead, but I felt as though I were dying. I wasn't feeling well on Christmas. I thought I just had a cold or something. I worked out on the 26th and 27th, but both times I felt spent after the workout. It got worse. I got the chills, fever, and a nonstop cough. I hate going to the doctor, but ended up going on my husband's insisting and it turns out I had the flu. A "mild" flu, as the doctor put it. They wouldn't give me anything for it because they claimed I had the symptoms for too long and that tamiflu wouldn't work at this point. I spent the whole vacation, except for yesterday in bed. Even New Year's Eve. . . my DH and boys stayed up and celebrated while I slept. I felt a little better yesterday, which was a good thing because we had free tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters in Brooklyn. I was able to go and had a great time with DH and the boys. Today I feel even better. I did do a workout finally today. I did Push/Pull. This workout is less challenging to me and I figured that this week I am going to ease my way back into working out with easier workouts. I have also made it my resolution to take my vitamins every day and to listen to my body. If I hadn't have pushed myself, maybe I would not have been so sick. I also have decided that I have to make it a priority to eat healthier food. No more going for what's convenient on game nights and busy nights. I have to make my health a priority like everything else.
The vacation went by quickly despite being so sick. I go back to work tomorrow. I have work to do today to prepare.
Belinda- That is so exciting that your DS's wedding is coming up! Something to look forward to in an otherwise uneventful time of year. This month always depresses me a bit, lol. How are you liking the new series? I never did order it, but I wish I had. I might just order it today, lol.
Cookie- I love your resolutions, especially the last one. Negativity in other people can really affect us. For me this is true especially at work. I have learned to remind myself that another person's negativity is "not about me" and so I take it for what it is. I don't buy into it though. It gets hard to block it out sometimes, but it is what we have to do, especially in our current environment at work.
Deb- I hope you are feeling better. how are you liking the new series?
lovetocamp- Welcome!
Ok, I have a lot of planning to do. I am procrastinating at this point, lol. I will be back tomorrow. I am hoping to do something cardio-wise, but not sure what I can do. I am thinking something like Step Moves.
