I was hoping for a better week, health wise, however I have to
admit that I do not even want to post here, because I feel that we have been so sick, that you will get tired of this very soon, but since we are here to support each other, then I am going to say it. We did not get better, the opposite, I had the "summer flu" according to my doctor. But I am not going that to get me down. Yes, I was not able to start my walking routine. I was short of breath and really tired. I needed to rest and drink plenty of fluids. But of course being sick and not eating a lot caused me to drop 2 pounds. I am going to call them water pounds, but at least I did not get any weight. My son and hubby will be leaving soon for their summer trip to Ohio. It would be my me time, to rest, clean and take care of myself. I am expecting to be able to get into a routine without the distractions of having to do so many activities with my son. Then when they come back it is my time to travel with my son. And I am going to take him to Hawaii, so I do need to start walking. Not that I am going to be in a two piece, but I do not want to be how I am right now. I guess I have real motivation there. My goal is to get better, and I will commit to do the elliptical for as long as I can (not too long now, counting that I am short of breath due to my asthma). But I will do it every night. I am also going to try the food journal thing this week. I do not know how many times I have started one, and by the end of day 2 I have forgotten to write on it. But I am trying it again. I hope all of you have a great week and once again thanks for reading.

I hope that this summer brings you back to wellness but while you are doing that you can work on what you can like diet and water and treating yourself well. don't focus on whats wrong but focus on what you can improve until you are well. I've been babying myself because of back injuries and am just now getting back to exercise and having to modify alot of the exercises. 6/10/2012 02:01:15 pm
Being sick can be the worst! Lack of motivation compounded with feeling blah can hit hard. Celebrate what you can get in. Start a short walk or something to get yourself feeling better. I love the elliptical! Hope you find your groove this week and feel motivated to go for it! 6/11/2012 12:41:15 am

I've never heard of the summer flu :( Hopefully you can start to mend and get out there and enjoy the season. A trip to Hawaii sounds like fun/ 6/12/2012 02:59:10 am
You are right! That is why we are here, to listen. It doesn't matter if you are sick. But, do get well!!!! That is the important part right now. Be patient and heal. 6/12/2012 12:32:48 pm
I started a journal as well. I do it during the day and then add to it later. Missed a couple days here and there. I think the point is to get a better idea of what u eat. Don't worry about perfect journaling. Leave a Reply. |
