Petals diary

Yikes, hope I don't catch anything! My husband had a little flu bug last weekend. I hate to rub it in, but I haven't had the flu in like 20 years. I just don't catch it. I also have a crazy immune system, though, one that is so amped up it attacks my own body ... so it's a double edged sword for sure.
 
You are very lucky Jennie . Going to upmy vitamin c this winter
 
Sorry you got so sick. The best laid plans of mice and men, and all that, but we can make new goals for the month! I'm a lot better but not going to try to exercise until this passes. If I walk up the hill to the road, I feel like taking a nap. So I'm just going to see how much rest I can get my body to do.

That's great that your body is only craving healthy things! Hopefully that will carry over to when you are better, too!!
 
My sore throat is usually caused by reacting to fragrance & is better this morning thank goodness. Concentrate on nurturing yourself back to health, hon & nothing much else, xoxo
 
Well I feel somewhat better today . Sore throats gone but it's dry . Still bit sniffly and tired .
Marsia that's me I do a bit of work and I'm fit to drop but I did feel by last night the energy levels rising . I contribute a lot to drinking fluids and eating well .


On a separate note I think I have now reached the stage where I know going forward that sugar to me is disaster . I see the lows I get after it and it's really not worth it .

Glad your throats is better today Cate .

More of the same for me today . Quiet time
 
Yeah, that's how it went for me with the sugar too. It just makes me feel so awful! I really do feel much better now that I mostly avoid it. I still eat fruits and potatoes, but stay away from deserts and breads and that seems to do the trick for me.

Same for me!
 
On the mend still. Have been left with a head full of sinus . But it will too pass. Did very little yesterday. I ate really well . I did have a glass of red wine but again mainly fruits and veg all day . In one weird way I feel this virus has given me some good motivation and inspiration to look after myself even more than I have . It really knocked the stuffing out of me . Just can't wait to feel well again and be buzzing with energy .
 
I just remembered I think I forgot to log in to mfp yesterday. Won't worry about it I start it back when well again .
 
I feel like that when I get sick, too, like it's sort of hitting the restart button. I have to take care of myself and de-stress, so I try to remember to do that after I am well again, too. Hope the cold clears up quickly now!
 
:grouphug: One day soon you will wake up feeling good & be back on track. I think learning to nurture & nourish our bodies should have top priority xoxo
 
GOod morning everyone. Well I did wake And unfortunately still feel rough with cold but I did feel more focused to get my ass back on the weight loss . I am afraid I have put on 3.5 lb so I have set myself a mini challenge to lose 5lb by end of October . So I hope to be 14st on Oct 31 . Exercise is out for me for another day or 2 but I logged back into MFP and will track my calories as that seems to work for me .
 
Really need to get a little Mogo going here to give kitchen a little clean and stick on a dinner for later . One two three up
 
I hope you managed to get dinner on the go but otherwise: kitchen cleaning can wait until you feel better...
