Monday - 3/17 - cardio & cafe

I'd love to say it's Monday Fun day BUT I woke up yesterday with a full blown case of the flu. (or possibly a Garbage truck parked on my head and chest) So today is one of those Rare days for me ----I called in sick. This is probably the 3rd time in my entire working history that I've done that. I can deal with the nasal stuffiness, sore throat and dry hacky cough. The headache is from HELL and the muscle and joint aches are HORRENDOUS. I honestly believe I'd have to feel better to die. If the flu shot has made this a less severe case then I can't imagine what the unfettered case would feel like. I would think it would be similar to a video game that David and the Kiddo play where during WWII a tank comes busting through a hedgerow with guns blazing. Oh wait that's what I had all day yesterday.

I'm hoping yall have celebrated St. Patricks Day to the fullest during the weekend and have more plans for today. No green beer for this chick. I did have Cabbage for dinner last night. (Thanks to my Moma!!)

Today's plan is simple.....lots of liquids.

Breakfast: Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! and a little dry cereal.

Lunch: Chicken Noodle soup (straight from the red & white can)

Dinner: Black Bean chili (cooking in the crock pot now)

I've got the morning vitamins and meds in. Just brewed a fresh gallon of decaf tea and froze some sugar free jello for snacks throughout the day.

Iris...I hear ya!!!!  OMG I have been hit with the bug too.....headache from HELL and it has been going on since Wednesday.  I called in on Thursday and Friday...was going to stay home today as well, but there was no one to cover my office so I managed to stagger in.  I have a mirror in my office so I can see if someone comes in while I am on the computer with my back turned and I have caught a glimpse of myself a few times today....I look as bad as I feel!  I am praying this is the tail end of it, I will toss your name in my prayers as well. 

No breakfast

No snack

Lunch:  tilapia with lemon pepper

No snack

Dinner:  chicken soup

I hope to be in bed before I get hungry for a snack if that happens....this bug has been great for nixing the appetite.

exercise:  coughing so hard my brain hits my skull (feels that way anyhow)

Got the vits and water in today for sure.

I'm borrowing your exercise routine. I've also perfected the full body sneeze!!!

OMG Iris...that is so damn funny I almost spit a mouthfull of water at my computer screen!!!  God yes!!!  I can so relate and that's the perfect description of it..."the full body sneeze"!!!!!!!

I am still laughing because that's exactly what if feels like...hahahahahahahahhahhahahaha

Funny that I am laughing when it's really not a laughing matter but at this point, it's either laugh or cry!

Thank you for that.
