I am officially an aunt! A little over a week ago my sister-in-law and brother gave birth to a beautiful girl. I have enjoyed going to see her almost every day, although lately I haven't been able to visit much. This winter has been harsh, and it's bleeding over into spring. We got another snowfall here yesterday, which is about where we were last year I guess. I can't believe how sick I've been this winter though. A month ago I was sick with the flu. Then Monday night I started feeling sick again, just kind of tired. I woke up Tuesday morning and coughed up the grossest orange and green mucous. My throat hurt so bad and I had a really bad headache. I knew it wasn't a migraine, but thought maybe it was just a cold. It didn't go away though, and an hour after getting to work I left to go to a minute clinic for a rapid strep test.
I haven't had strep since I was little, but I definitely had it, so now I'm on antibiotics for the next two weeks. I don't mind the sore throat, I usually don't talk much outside of work anyways, but the pills make me so tired and loopy. Someone asked me a question about something at work and all I could do was stand there staring off into the distance, not knowing how to answer, so I just apologized and excused myself. I can't even go to the gym, which brings me to the good news part of this good/bad news post....
I've lost ten pounds! At first I just thought it would come back after I had the flu, which it did at first, but then it went back down. My secret? I did everything they tell you to do. I have been going to the gym at least three times a week (cardio, strength, and yoga), and eating a big lunch/small dinner. I haven't even been doing my juicing the last month. I could tell the difference when I went back to David's Bridal to pick up my "altered" dress. It doesn't fit. I was both happy and frustrated in the same moment, although I think my friend was just frustrated. She suggested getting a bra to hold it up (it's strapless), but I don't think that's gong to solve everything. Oh well, I can always attach straps if need be.
10 pounds down, 30 to go!
