68 - Tonsilitis, Pharyngitis, Sinusitis, and a Fever


Well Thursday I got sick.  And it hit me hard! 
Friday I was going to stay home from work, but just couldn't.  So I went in for half a day and then I went almost straight to the dr and he told me I had pharyngitis, tonsillitis and a fever.  Then sinusitis hit me that night.  UGH.  Unbelievably, though, as horrid as I have felt, I couldn't sit still.  I mowed the dang lawn!  I was sweating and cold and dizzy, yet I couldn't stop mowing.  What is up with that!?  Of course, afterwards, I collapsed on the couch after chugging Nyquil.
Saturday I drugged myself up with Sudafed and Dayquil and went to our preplanned mommy/daughter conference.  It was so much fun, and although I did the sweat/shiver/dizzy routine most of the day, I made it through.  The things we do for our kiddos!
Sunday I was a bit more cognative and contemplated going for a walk, but the headache came back full force, so more Dayquil, more Sudafed, and housework.  That's definitely a workout! 
Today I got up and thought maybe I could do CardioMaxx before work.  Instead I slept another hour.  I think I've needed that.  If I can get over this, then I can work out better.
Why is it EVERY time I start a new health routine, I get sick?!?!?!?
I did get ginger root the other day.  Let me tell you that is ONE bitter root!  All I did was touch my tongue to the juice and it was PopRocks!  BAZINGA!

I also got whole flaxseed and ground it all up in my food processor.  I've really missed having that every day.
And I got quinoa - about 3 pounds!  And it was only $8.  It's like $6 for 1lb at Publix!  Love me some Whole Foods Market!


I'm hoping to maybe try to exercise tonight.  That way I can get back on my habit track!
