Sunday - woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible sore throat, tried to get back to sleep the best I could.

Monday - woke up early, throat still sore, but on with my day, downstairs for 30min cardio. Got the kids off to school then went to the gym to see my boy.  I told him that I just wasn’t getting sore anymore and he said it was time to change things up.  So, my program today was only three body parts, legs, bis, and core, 3 exercises each, 3 reps/exercise. Legs were all weighted, bis with heavier weights and core stepped it up a bit.  I felt great afterwards, really strong.  He said I did great and also said he could see my arm muscles (yes, I’m still obsessing about those ), yay!  By the evening my throat was worse and I felt like I had been run over by a truck.

Tuesday - Throat feels like I am swallowing glass, on couch all day, TERRIBLE, I have never felt so much pain from a sore throat, ears and neck hurt as well.  Down and out!

Wednesday - Went to the doctor’s this morning, Yay for me, I have strep.  I’ve never had it before and let me tell you, I hope I never have it again.  Doctor tells me REST and I mean on the couch REST!  OK, don’t have to tell me twice, anyway, don’t feel like I can do much more than that anyway.  He said alot of times strep is worse in adults than kids.  I ask about working out, NO, not until Monday.  Alright, I’ll listen, it sucks though b/c I was really excited about my new program and sickness always seems like such a setback . 

Good news is, I weighed myself at the docs and I’m down 2lbs.  Couldn’t be happier about that!!!  Will have my trainer do measurements on Monday, hopefully those are down also.  Meds seem to be working already, my throat is not as bad.

Today - throat is feeling better, not 100%, but better.  I will focus on eating clean, since doc says I have to rest.  I need to get better as quickly as possible, really looking forward to my new program, my trainer really did kick my butt on Monday, my legs are still sore!  Sorry this was all about sickness, it’s my life right now. 

The weather here in WNY seems to finally be breaking, sunshine has a wonderful way of brightening the day in so many ways . . .
