About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Spring Fling ~ Week 6 Weigh-in

No change this week.

Except I'm not swallowing razor blades anymore. Which is, of course, a wonderful improvement from last week!!

Turns out I had a pretty bad case of tonsilitis, of all things! Finally sought medical attention Thursday afternoon and started noticing some improvement late Friday.

Went for a short little walk Friday night just to get out of the house, but Saturday my body was struggling with the harsh antibiotics, so I stayed pretty close to the bathroom. Sunday, the soreness was almost completely gone, but I went for my usual two-mile walk and I'm sure it took almost twice as long as it normally does. I was completely wiped out!! I NAPPED afterwards, for Pete's sake! I NEVER nap.

So it would seem recovery time from a fever-ridden illness increases with age!

Amazingly, I did the same walk less than 24 hours later (Monday morning), and it was like I'd never been sick. Took the same amount of time as normal, and I felt great afterwards.

So that's my excuse for not losing any weight this week: didn't eat as much as usual, but didn't move for four straight days either.

I'm so glad you feel better, Tammi! Isn't it crazy how much longer it takes for us to feel better now? My kids are good in 24 hours and it's DAYS for me. GAH.

Way to go on getting back to the walking, too! YAY!!
