Sherry - I'm glad that quote I found was what you needed, I needed it too! Hope your little one feels better so you can get back into a normal routine.

Woke up feeling worse. I'm supposed to volunteer in school all day, but I don't think that is happening. I'm going to stay home and rest, so that hopefully I'll be well enough to make it to the PTO meeting this afternoon.

At least I still made good food choices yesterday and got a bunch of walking in! Today will be a lot less physical activity, but hoping I can kick this cold soon. I have about a week and a half until surgery so I want to be healthy. I also want to have all Christmas presents in order as well! I know I need to rest, but I have this manic drive right now to keep working and working and working to get everything in order before I'm out of commission. So I can't seem to sit still long enough to get better.

Goals:
drink water! lots and lots of water!
rest!

marla, enjoy Nia

Laura, that sounds like he was feeling sadistic! But how good that sort of workout is for you. I actually wouldn't mind a trainer kicking my butt like that now and then.

val, hope you get well before your surgery. I was once so busy preparing for my parents to visit that I got rundown and got sick the day before they arrived...then 2 days later, my daughter decided to be born 3 weeks early. I ended up with a sedated c-section and her first night I was stuck in the ICU on oxygen b/c of the sinus/bronchial thing. It stunk! So, I guess I'm saying, slow down and get well!

Dter, so glad you finally might be getting some relief. I hope you heal fast and well!


Today DH had to work much later than expected. I had to take lil girl (still sick) to pick up son and drop off at tutor. I then took her for a walk to do some errands. First stop, bodybuilding store to buy 1/2kg pink dumbbells--for lil girl, who tries to workout with me, but the 2kg db's I have are too heavy so she uses pencils or markers just to do the movements & I thought why not get her some real dbs (actually been wanting to do this since she was tiny and would workout with me, but i knew .5kg was too heavy then, but now should be okay). Second stop, bookstore for a book for son. Third stop, hand lil girl and shopping bags to DH. Fourth stop, gym...to pay for another year. I decided to rejoin! Then back to get son. All that was walking & I racked up plenty of steps today, finally. I was dressed for a gym workout, but DH worked too late and I ran out of time before son's pickup. Also, all the walking made my ankles very sore , so no ankle exercises either, but stretched. I'm starting to have fleeting thoughts of "will I ever run again?", which depresses me like you cannot imagine. I'm beginning to think my Christmas present will be an appt with a sports doc.
