Here we go again!!

ok....I was on a roll. Then just as I round that corner of feeling great, the crappy cold bug makes its way into my overworked system. I know that it was just telling me that my body wasn't used to the workouts and eating right and it was going to show me. Well...it did. I got sick last Wednesday. Started in the throat...worked its ugly way into my head and sinuses...then took a trip to my lungs where it has stayed. Every cough to get this nasty stuff out sent pulsating pain to my ears and head. So....the dilemma was this....do I cough and hurt....or do I not cough and try to get rest. As you might know....it is tax season...so to keep my marriage in tact.....I slept on the couch...coughing and tossing for the last week. I now feel better but still have the last bit of hacking up my lungs at night. So...diet and exercise? ummm it has been non-existent. And...(sorry Sherry) I had a diet Pepsi to burn the nasty flem out of my coated throat. I believe that stuff is acid. It burned all the way down but cleared a path. Don't worry...that is the only one I will have. It was like Drano for the pipes. Still managed to lose a pound though!! Stay tuned....

OOPS....forgot to weigh in on Friday

Well. I guess you'll have to wait until this friday. Did anyone watch Oprah...with Dr. OZ? It was all about diabetes. What a great show. I don't like Oprah for the most part but...Dr. Oz was great. Watch it!! This past week was good. I struggle a bit with stress. 5 kids, working, keeping up with laundry, cleaning house, and being a chauffeur to the kids was enough to wear me out a bit. But....it is a new week and a new day. Life is good. Health is good. I am soda free and sugar free. The dreaded cycle is going to start so I am feeling a bit bloated. HMM...I should name the "cycle". What do you think? I had a great work out this morning. Love to get it done first thing. Then it is DONE and I don't have to think about it anymore.
