Where has the week gone?

So my last post was last Tuesday while I was in AZ. Tuesday was the only day I got any type of workout in...and it was only 20 minutes on the treadmill. BOOO! I returned home on Thursday night, worked on Friday and was ready to hit the ground running with P90X. Friday I conquered Legs and Back but skipped AbRipperX due to time. I had intentions to do it at home but then it never happened.

Saturday I went for a run. I accomplished 3.4 miles in 34 mins and considering how long it had been since I ran, I am happy with that. I love just taking off for a run and not over thinking the technicals. For instance, I never wonder if I'm running with or against the wind...until I turn around to head back home and realize I had been running with the freezing cold wind and now my trek back home would surely suck! I survived though.

I had intentions of doing the StretchX video of P90X on Sunday. I was feeling quite tight after Legs and Back on Friday and then my run on Saturday. I don't really know what happened to my day Sunday, but I do know that StretchX did not. Then there was Monday (yesterday). I had the day off and Craig worked. I found myself totally lazy all day and wondering exactly what time he would be home. I'd hate for him to come home and realize I had done absolutely nothing. Once he got home I realized I wasn't feeling the best but didn't worry too much about it. I ran some quick errands and then headed back home. As the next hour or two passed I found myself feeling more and more flu like. My evening ended with chills and hot flashes, dry heaves and no puke, hot eyeballs and sleeping on the couch.

Today is Tuesday. I went ahead and stayed home, realizing that I could probably have gone to work but didn't really want to push it and make others sick...after all, just because you feel ok one minute doesn't mean you won't puke all over the place the next. I was pretty optimistic about my condition until I texted back and forth with my mom...thanks mom. My symptoms are identical to one of her co-workers. Her flu came back with a vengeance and finally ended after 2 shots and trips to the doc. I am not looking forward to this.

I figure the only good thing to ever come from the flu is a few pounds lost. Keep your fingers crossed!
