On Streptococcal Bacteria Ruining a Perfectly Good Day Off

~

I had been feeling unwell this last week but still managed to go to work, walk 10, 000 steps a day (about 7 K), ride my bike, play soccer, go to the beach for a swim, hike and take the kids to the park every night.

Until yesterday. I had gone to work and worked all day but could barely make it into my house I was feeling so lousy. I decided to give in and go to the doctor. He said I had a severe case of Strep Throat and discussed at length about making sure I finish my antibiotics and resting . I always finish antibiotics but resting sucks! My body forces me to rest today because I am dehydrated and have a fever and I can't stand-up but I wanna go outside and playyyyyyyy! (sniffle) Sick is only ever fun if there is a s#xy man around willing to play doctor. But alas. There is not.

On the Diet

Going well. Lost 4 pounds in about 3 weeks. I had started earlier but like anything I do I research the hell out of it before I actually tackle it. Three weeks ago I decided to walk at least 10, 000 steps a day and running when I can. The weight is coming off ever slowly but it is coming off right. I have battled weight for years and lost 60 pounds about 4 years ago. I had put about 20 of that on and am now taking it off again.

Did You Know?

It takes me walking 7 days a week, an hour and a half a day at a fast pace to lose one pound? I have to burn 3, 500 calories to shed a lousy pound! Did you further know I can ingest that many calories at one trip to a fast food restaurant? It makes me pay very careful attention to what I eat because I don't want it to take almost 11 hours of walking to burn off one meal.

Back to Bed

I just read this post and it doesn't make sense at some parts but I don't feel well enough to fix it. Sleep is calling.
