I think I feel better this morning. It’s hard to tell, because I have that weak-from-being-sick thing going on. At least my head doesn’t feel like it’s been run over by a large truck anymore, my bones don’t ache, and my nose is running instead of being completely stuffed up. If nothing else, I am at least on the road to getting better and not worse. Yesterday was awful, and I spent most of the day sleeping. I still don’t have much energy, but at least I don’t feel like total crap for the first morning in over a week.
Looking on the bright side of a week of being sick, because I do always try to find a bright side to everything, I don’t have to cut my calorie intake and start working out like crazy. I’d planned to do that, because a month of not being out in the yard working and sweating my butt off while still eating as much as I was when I was out there every day has lead to some unsatisfactory weight gain. Not much, but on me, even a little regular fat gathering in the usual locations (belly flab – eeek) looks like a lot. But I went and got sick, and now that extra weight is gone.
I don’t recommend a week of being sick as a diet plan, but hey, it worked out well this time. Going forward, fewer snacks and more exercise until the heat chills enough for me to get back to huffing and puffing in the garden every day. I’m not overly nuts about my weight, but I’d finally reached a weight where I felt good and looked good, and I don’t really want to go too much over it … at least not all in the belly area. Most of my wardrobe is designed to show off that particular location, and I am loath to be showing off a huge muffin-top!
No real plan for the day. I don’t want to do too much since I’m still feeling somewhat blah. I guess I’ll putter around the house and catch up on the housework I haven’t been doing since feeling poorly, run to the store for milk (and maybe bread, I don’t know that I feel like making any today), and then if I feel up to it, ripping out the last of the plants in the garden. And I still haven’t played with any of my new yarn!
Right now though, I have to go make my second cup of coffee and move the sprinkler to another spot in the yard. Yes, I am watering the dead grass. I keep watering it, and it keeps dying. Too damn HOT!
