Monday - Thursday

I have been sick all week. Really sick. It has not been fun. The cold was in my head, throat, and chest. I had trouble breathing and was coughing constantly. I had a running fever, even with medicine. Not fun. Unfortunately it makes it very difficult to exercise when you can't breath and are exhausted from lack of sleep. On the up side, I didn't eat very much either because I was so sick, so it might work out to at least keep me from gaining wait this week. We can hope.

Friday

Today I finally got to exercise. It was hard but since I am on the mending end, I wanted to at least get started. I did a 20 minute cardio and 20 minute core workout. I also did my weights today.

It feels good to get back to exercising. I was a little afraid, during my down time/sick time, that I might not want to exercise once I get well or that I might want to make excuses for starting again. I was very conscious of that. That is why I wanted to get right back and start again even though I am not 100% yet. It makes me happy to know that this isn't a passing fad for me, that I am in this all the way!

Only 1-1/2 more weeks until 6 Flags. I don't know if I have lots enough weight to be able to take the kids on all the baby rides but I have done my best and I know that I can at least walk down the giant hill to get to 6 Flags and back up again with out being a problem. :) Also, being there and walking all around won't wear me out. I feel healthy and happy and I am thankful for that!!
