I woke up this morning, 2 hours early, coughing my ever-lovin' azz off. After two days of feeling better, this morning was a big, fat setback. As I lay there I went beyond planning my day, to fretting about my day, to ruminating upon the day before. The human brain is a wondrous piece of machinery that can figure out pi (the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius*) yet is also akin to your 80 year old grandma wringing her hands and asking if you've had enough to eat.
Once I grew tired of the internal chattering, I dragged myself out of bed and tried to start the day. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough warm green tea with organic honey in the house to help me forget how tired, cranky, cold and nastay I felt. After bumbling around for awhile, and making a sad little breakfast, I headed back to bed and pulled the covers over my head. The furnace was cranked to almost 80, I was in head-to-toe sweats and my thick, yummy, cottony socks, and I was still cold. Don't tell me this isn't typhoid. Momma didn't raise no fools.
Therefore...no work-out today for Jenn. Zero, zilch, nada, zip. In fact, I was lucky to have made it to work. I got there almost a half hour late and chock full of resentment.
All I can do is meet you here tomorrow with better news. Have faith, my friends, and see you soon.
*Thank you, Wikipedia. Love you. <3
By the by - I did work out yesterday, but my blog-focus was on Brooke. It was another glorious 1/2 hour on the tread mill. No dancin' though....Will and Grace was on. ;)

So sorry you're sick and sad to hear about the student of yours passing away. The GOOD news for you though is that it's not ALL about the exercise so have a day off and get better! Apparently losing weight is 80% what you put into your mouth so have lots of hot veggie soup (veggies speed up metabolism, help regulate blood sugar, and it might help kick the annoying cold in the process). Just something I learned in my research that I've completely, happily ignored for too long (and have the fat butt to prove it).
ReplyDeleteHey Cin! Veggie soup, huh? Good to know! You're right, diet is so important, too. I have cut out a lot of carbs since the first of Jan. The bad ones, not the good ones. lol
ReplyDeleteFeeling a bit better today, so off to the tread mill. :)
