    This sickness has left me in a really weird place with food. Nothing sounds good. My mind is a complete blank about what normal meals look like - it's frustrating. It's nice to not be hungry, but I feel like I've swung too far in the other direction.

    Memaw went home today. I made it to yoga class. 3 trips to the gym this week. I'll take it. I had a reason for missing the 4th trip. One birthday down, two to go.

    5 mile run today - first time! I was really excited about that until I read Scherzie's post. 20 miles?????? That puts my 5 miles to shame. Good for you Scherzie!!!!!!

    R_Queenie - Are you back to your old self yet? I hope you're feeling better.
    Melissa - Glad that Memaw went home today. That's great news!!! Congrats on making it to the gym 3 times too!

    @Laughter---I am pretty sure that I am no longer contagious, however my energy level is still drained. I certainly would not say that I am back to 80% of normal "good". Today the hubby finally was taken over by the germs, Dr says Flu...no surprise. I am hopeful that having it once will mean we will all be stronger immune if we encounter it again. A horrible little bug. With hubby on day 1 of contagious, we will be opting out of family gatherings --I guess that means no travel and some extra rest days...but it stinks to miss out. :neutral_face:

    Today was a strength training day. It was only 20 minutes, but I gave it all I had.

    R_Queenie - You poor thing. I feel sorry for the entire household. I would hate to miss out on the family gatherings too, but you all certainly need that rest. Try to take it very easy in the coming days so that you all will recover as quickly as possible. Hang in there.

    Laughter Girl: good for you on the five miles and the strength training.
    R_Queenie: the flu this year is terrible and I am sorry that your family has it. I hope you all get well soon. It does stink to miss holidays with family. (Since you sound like you want to go. I am so over my MIL. She blew off my son's birthday today and my daughter's on Sunday. I'm hoping she blows off Christmas, but think my FIL will draw the line at that.)

    I did a walk/jog workout video today. Between that and the squats I did yesterday, my legs are feeling the burn.

    R_Queenie - Are you feeling a little bit better?
    Scherzie - Thanks! I want to be like you when I grow up.
    Melissa - Hang in there. Maybe MIL is going through a rough time right now? If not, maybe you and hubby need to have a chat with her and explain why it is important for her to be there for her grandchildren. Some things should be common sense; however, according to my good friend's mother, "Common sense isn't common."

    No family dinner made green a lot easier.

    I'm feeling a bit better today, but I tire so easily...it's ridiculous!
    And I completely agree Laughter_Girl, Common sense is NOT common!
