All better ... almost

Man, it was definitely not over on Thursday. My fever went up again and broke again on Friday. That was the end of the fever. I was still kind of pathetic on Saturday and finally started feeling human again on Sunday. Let me just say that the flu sucks.

So the weekend was a total waste and the whole event has set me back in trying to pump up my metabolism. I'll have to build my stamina back and then get back into my workout routine. And I was doing so well. I did do a lunch time walk today, but that was it. I'm not quite ready to break a real sweat. Soon though.

I didn't eat hardly at all for 3 days and barely ate on the 4th, but I also wasn't moving much, so I'm thinking the low calorie intake was offset by the low calorie burn ... it was a wash.

I was supposed to be a volunteer on a Habitat For Humanity house on Saturday. I was supposed to be stiff/sore from 4 hours of manual labor today. I was looking forward to the project. I've thought about volunteering for years, but just never got off my butt to do it. So when a co-worker asked if I'd be interested in doing it with her and a bunch of others, I jumped at the chance. I was really disappointed that I couldn't do it. I have another chance in February.

I was feeling pretty good before the flu hit though so I really want to get back in that groove. On the bright side, not eating for a couple of days really has taken the edge off. I'm not feeling hungry tonight like I always was before. Maybe that little fasting helped me adapt to less food a little quicker ... a crash course as it were. I need to find a bright side to last week. I think that's going to be the best I can do.
