Missed Another Weigh-In

Sorry Weight Watchers! I feel I failed you somehow. I attend the Sunday afternoon meeting because it is the only day of the week I don't have other things scheduled. I missed the two previous Sundays because I was out of town on the never-ending holiday. I was actually looking forward to getting back to my regular routine with diet and exercise (see previous whinny posts about training).

The reason I missed? Well, after working out again on Saturday morning I was as sore as I could be. My best friend (and workout buddy) has twin babies so it is always better if I go to her house to hang out (what is baby proofing anyway?). I went over and made us a nice healthy dinner with lots of vegetables (read raw carrots here). Around 10:00 pm I knew what was coming. I had to leave right away (her house was having plumbing issues). I was struck with the DEATH FLU.

There is no other term for something so awful. I was exhausted and super sore and had to heave myself out of bed every 15 minutes (no exaggeration - just ask my husband) from 10:30 until 6:30 the next morning. Eventually it slowed to every hour and then I think my body just gave out. I hardly moved from bed and could not face all the new, super pumped new Weight Watcher members. Also, spreading something as awful as DEATH FLU is pure evil.

The upside - I lost that 3 pounds from holiday.

The other hard part was today was the 1st day back at school and I was not sure I would make it through. I did it! But when training time came I could not imagine jumping, running, and crunching abs so I will have to move one workout to the end of the week.

So tonight has been lots of cleaning, laundry, and cloroxing every surface I have been in contact with. At least until my husband gets it.

May you all stay healthy and try not to miss your weigh-ins!
