Wake up! its after lunch time

[clairebear]

Hmmm, sometimes the time difference gets to me a little, so I'll start a "Happy Thursday" thread, I mean, it is lunch time, nearly 1:00PM

I've had a nasty cold that has turned into a bad sinus infection, and am planning to return to work tomorrow. I haven't been to the gym in over a fortnight (I managed to put my back out before I caught my cold) so I'm planning to head there this afternoon, armed with lots of tissues and tons of water and do a nice relaxed workout. If I survive that, I'm back to by 6:00AM work outs before work.

I must say, I'm pretty proud of myself, I've managed to be unwell for close to two weeks and make it through a fairly clean STAC induction. My one failure has been my standard cold remedy (very dark chocolate and red wine) - but the chocolate has such a high cocoa percentage that there were very few carbs.

My sticks are showing moderate and that is just with me lying around the house feeling sorry for myself* and drinking at least four litres of water each day. I'm aiming for large once I get back from the gym this afternoon.

Hope you guys are all coping with the US heat. We are in the middle of our mildest July (mid-winter) in ages - I'm loving it!

Have fun,
Claire

*Misery due to TV dying and taken away for repairs the day before I got sick. It has been fixed and is due to be delivered this afternoon, just when I am ready to go back to work. Reading with an intense sinus headache is not fun, so I didn't even get any study done

Hi Clair!

Sorry to hear that you arent feeling very well. Sinus infection. Yikes! Be really easy with that trip to the gym. You dont want to overdo and extend the misery.

You HAVE done very well to do an induction when you have felt so badly.

The humidity has been a nuisance this year but Im not ready for winter just yet! It is hard to think of July as mid winter!!

Feel better soon!

Re: Wake up! its after lunch time

Yup, had a rejuvenating trip to the gym and felt fabulous afterwards. I pretty much buzzed for the rest of the evening.

The fitness karma fairies decided I was worthy of a reward, so when I stopped at the supermarket on my way home, I was able to buy a stack of organic steak that had just been reduced to less than half price, so my freezer is now well and truely stocked. Each steak is indivudually wrapped so I can just pull one out each morning to thaw for dinner - I feel so organised!

I'm back at work (joy!) have just finished a yummy lunch of steamed spinach with lemon juice and some lamb chops.

Now to catch up on all that work I missed.

Thanks for your support!
