sick

I'm not complaining about being sick...quite the opposite. The title of this blog is 'sick' because I am merely sick today. I've been feeling pretty bad since Saturday. I think my amazing husband gave me a bug that started giving him trouble last Thursday. It started with a cough and then got really mucus-y, then an ear ache, body aches, no energy...when it finally moved to my chest and I was scared my lung was going to pop out of my mouth I decided to take the afternoon off and go to the doctor. He confirmed the obvious...I'm sick. Asthmatic bronchitis, accute sinusitis and ear infection. I'm not too sure what the 'asthmatic' means...I don't have asthma, but whatever. Steroid shot to the hip, antibiotics and cough syrup. I'm in bed with my dogs this afternoon with no plans of running, lifting weights or bootcamp until...hmmm...this weekend? I have a race Saturday morning that I don't think would be smart to run...but don't count me out yet. So, I'm left here blogging and watching some woman on Oprah who apparently had A LOT of money and lost it all. She did say something I like just a minute ago.  When asked if she was now living from pay check to pay check she said 'no, I'm living prayer to prayer.' That's good stuff. I got a couple of magazines at Walgreens when I went to get my drugs and I have no plans of leaving this bed to do anything other than eat and go to the bathroom until tomorrow morning. And then, only if I'm feeling better, will I go to work. Do you know how many dreary days I've sat at my desk and thought of how nice it would be to snuggle up in my bed with my dogs? A few. But, I'm never able to do it because of obligations or other responsibilites. Today, I get to do it. And I don't feel bad about it. Sunny, Dallas and I are all snuggled up enjoying each others company. They aren't saying much...its really just me doing the talking, but its fun to just hang out with them and do nothing. Yay for this little blessing...of being sick. ;)

*Biggest Loser/Body Transformation weigh in #6...down 3 lbs for the week for a total of 27.5 in 6 weeks! I'm thrilled that I haven't slowed down in my losses yet. I'm at 203 now...lighter than I've been in some time. I'm seeing big gains in my lifting too. I'm getting alot stronger and getting more definition.
