Hope you feel better Carol. I too was bit by some kind of flu bug. I was teaching today and suddenly my stomach hurt and I had to worst headache. The office had to call a sub for me half way through the day. I ended up spending a lot of time in bed.

Thanks to all the well-wishers out there. I hope everyone manages to stay healthy, but there are some wicked bugs going around out there. Wash your hands!! Wash your hands!!! Wash your hands!!!
I'm doing pretty good. I still have a raging headache. Thank goodness for Advil. While I haven't been working out, I think I have been doing ok. I'm not expecting any loss- -just hoping for no gain, on my next weigh-in. It's not till Wednesday, so I"m hoping I'll start feeling better, and can get some exercise in.
It's sooooo cold! 2 degrees-- I don't even know what the wind chill is, but it's windy!
What I'm finding discouraging, is that I did a tough workout on Monday, and got the sore muscles, and everything. But now, since I haven't been able to do much since, it's like it was all for nothing! If I could be more consistant, my muscles would be getting stronger. This way, they work hard, get sore, then just go back to their old selves. Weak, and flabby! AAcckk!
But, I know better. It's all good, and they will recover sooner, next time. I just wish I hadn't gotten sick, so I could be feeling strong now, instead of tired and sluggish.
Well, I have to go -- gotta watch my kids in their play. It's going to be a lot of fun. I just dread going out in the cold cold wind! BRRRRR!

It has gotten wicked cold here also! I am kind of worried because I am supposed to go out of town tomorrow and there is a freezing rain advisory until noon-Uuugh!

I feel better though. I didn't feel so hot today but I trudged through and went and worked out anyway. Now that it is all said and down I am feeling somewhat better. Hope you feel better too!

Ugh -- I still feel terrible. Not really much to report. I think I'm getting better, then... Wham... it knocks me down again. I spent yesterday huddled under covers, trying to stay warm. I was miserable. I'm not sure what was going through my head -- I guess I was delirous-- but I was sure that eating pop tarts would make me feel better. Well.... it didn't . And I ate 4!!! I know-- shame on me. I also laid in bed watching 'The Thorn Birds ' for a large part of the day.
I'm feeling better today. Still have a head full of snot ( sorry if that's too graphic for you), and will probably spend a significant chunk of today huddled in that same bed. But I have already cleaned bathrooms, while my family was at church. Hopefully I killed some of those nasty bugs! I think possibly this time, I am actually on the road to recovery!
Pop tarts--- I can't believe I ate pop tarts!!!

I don't even LIKE pop tarts!!!

Hang in there, and you will be back to your old self soon!
Not all the magazines I buy are junk.

Just most of them.

HI Muppet, glad to hear you are feeling better... Hope you are on the road to recovery

Isn't it strange what we eat when we are sick? It seems like you spend most of the day going, "no, I don't want that. no, I don't want that either." Just hoping you are feeling better, I know you will get back on that diet wagon tomorrow.

I feel almost human today. Still not up to working out though. I might just do some stretches, and toning. I think cardio would kill me.
I haven't been doing too bad on food, aside from the dreaded pop tarts (strawberry) My goal is to not have gained this past week. I weigh in on Wednesday.
Here's to the road to recovery! ( raises glass of OJ)
