This past week I was pretty down and out with illness. Chubbs, over the weekend, had to go to urgent care for possible pink eye, and sure enough, pink eye and the start of an ear infection. You all know how it goes, mom gets it last, and always worse! My throat has been bothering me so bad, that I haven’t had much of an appetite, and even drinking was hurting. I really had to push the liquids, but I did pretty good with water, orange juice, and tea.
Because of illness, I didn’t do much as far as exercise. I so badly wanted to crawl back into bed and just sleep all day. I did do a little bit of dancing with Chubbs late in the week when I started to feel better.
I’m feeling a lot better, in fact, yesterday I cleaned the living room and moved the furniture around, by myself! Just up and did it. Moved the sofa and chair around, mopped, vacuumed, moved them to new locations, moved the portable a/c unit to the porch (which by the way, weighs like 80 million pounds, but it’s on wheels), lots of bending and squatting to use the vacuum hose, just a lot of cleaning. It feels and looks really nice now! We have a great spot for our Christmas tree, and I’m really excited about our first Christmas in this house.
Anyway, please remember that I was sick and not eating what I should be. Lots of crackers, toast, peanut butter, tea with honey… but here is my scale pic from Sunday 11/22…

Mandi…it’s okay to have a down week. It sucks not feeling well. Then you can’t do much of exercising, it doesn’t make you feel any bette. Glad you are doing better now, keep your head up and look forward to this week! We are almost under the big 200…lets do it this week and celebrate! =) We’re here to support you babe!
its that time of the year! just got over being sick. its no fun. Take care of yourself and try to stay hydrated.
Oh take it and move on. You are doing great, we all get sick and need to slow down. When better we kick it back up! :)
I had no idea you were sick! I’ve been so wrapped up in my own life drama! I really hope you are feeling better! I can’t wait to get home. I’m itching to rearrange some things. This week will be so much better for you!
You can do it Mandi! I know it is so great when you get under that number – and it’s such a great goal. You’ll be in ONE-der-land soon!
Take some time to rest. Alyssa Becthold has pink eye too! She’s taking some time off per doctor’s orders, so you two can tweet together about pink eye…lol. Just watch your food and try not to go too crazy. I’m looking forward to hearing how things go when you get back on your feet. :)
