I've had three day's off the gym as a recovery from last week. I didn't eat any 'real' junk food this weekend. I did make gluten and sugar free chocolate cake with a chocolate and greek yogourt frosting (sigh** it really is soooo good), the cake was ~so so~ but the frosting was awesome.
I am healthy!!! I exercise, take my vitamins, eat my greens and tons of fruit... I SHOULD NOT BE SICK WITH A COLD!!! The only thing I can think of is that I haven't been sleeping nearly enough. All three kids are snotty so that doesn't help! So tonight I'm going to bed early! Tomorrow I have to at least feel better because I have a session with my trainer. Germs suck!
unfortunately, being healthy does not turn you into super woman. But don't worry, you're pretty much as close as anyone can get to being a super hero, so I know you'll get better fast!
ReplyDeleteI hope so, today I don't actually feel sick and icky, but my nose is running like a sieve. I've used almost a whole box of tissues already. We really need to stop buying the cheap ones :P
ReplyDeleteoh and Thank you :D
ReplyDeleteSee, I really think germs get spread from lack of hand-washing and then touching your mouth/eyes, etc. Or being coughed or sneezed on directly. (Kids!) Healthy diet helps, but has more to do with direct contact with germs. I'm a little uptight about this one because my MIL blames my diet and my daughter's for any ailment we have.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I hope you feel better soon. And I swear by Puffs Ultra for tissues (not the lotion kind--it has to say Ultra on the box.) They hold a ton and are soft on the nose.
Hey Cara, I know you are right about the germs (except I've heard theories that germs ingested through your mouth don't actually survive your stomach acid - so it must be just eyes and lungs???). I think that diet and exercise play a part in the length of the virus, and how fast you can recover fully from it. Today I feel awesome. I worked out yesterday and today all snot is dried up. I didn't need to take anything and only used the humidifier!
