That was rude and uncalled for

I did my very best to stay healthy when three out of five of our household peeps got sick.  I think it’s a good rule of thumb that when you would rather be at work than be home sick, you know you are sick for realsies.  And yeah, you can quote me on that. Wednesday I was in bed all day with a fever and sinus pressure. Not fun, not cool, and very rude of my body.

I hadn’t planned on being sick or at home on a random Wednesday, so all of my easy to prepare, healthy foods were at work.  Oh and besides, who wants to turn to healthy foods when they are sick?  There’s a reason they are called comfort foods.  So guess what I ate?  Sugar.  In the form of:

• Trix cereal (Why does my husband buy the stuff?)
• Orange Juice (I asked him to buy it because I pretended in my head it would be good for me.)
• Gingerale (I asked him to get this too because I’m old school.  When you’re sick, you drink 7-Up or Gingerale.)
• White bread (I have Ezekiel bread in the fridge but of course, I turned to the sugar loaded bread.)
• Jam (Pure delicious, Marion berry jam flavored sugar.)

I think I ate a half of a loaf of bread of that day. Sad face.  When I was the only adult in the house, my children ate a lot healthier.  My hubs is completely on board for me eating as healthy as I want to, but he’s not sold.  Do not tell him this, but things are going to change.  I haven’t figured it all out yet, but prayer might be my only option to get him to help me kick sugar out of the house.  That will sure be a miracle when that happens!

So, where am I at?  I only worked out on Monday…strength training.  I haven’t run since Saturday.  I’m sleeping as much as is allowable.  I feel very weak and lethargic.  But, I’m back at work…plugging along, and I’m kicking sugar to the curb again.  I’m also trying to forgive myself for eating all of the sugar in the world, for getting off track with my training and working out.  It was what it was….isn’t that how the saying goes?

Friday…..so far so good!  I’m feeling better than I have all week.  No sign of the dizziness and fever either.  Go me!  After work, I get to jet off to parts unknown, with my girlies, for a volleyball tournament that starts early on Saturday morning.  Packing…commence!
