Unless you're about 4'6", what are you worried about?

Hee hee....

Courtesy of a 24-hr intestinal squeegie I picked up at school, I think. I don't actually know where, since I don't hang with anyone who's been sick, but I do work in the library and every little sweetheart who returns a book brings a host of germs, too. It was ugly. Two full days later my ribs are still very bruised-feeling.

I also just ordered a new diet book, The Flat Belly Diet, which espouses eating healthy monounsaturated fats at every meal. I'll let you know if it helps reboot my system here.

channlluv,

I'm so sorry to hear you were ill.

That kind of drop is a classic sign of dehydration. Please be sure to drink enough water to re-hydrate yourself!! You will recover from your illness so much more quickly if you're hydrated.

I have several friends who've had nasty bugs of late, involving many many trips to the loo. I'm hoping I avoid it!

Thanks so much. I missed out on all the Valentines yummies AND 3rd-row tickets to Supercross here in San Diego Saturday night. D*H's nephew enjoyed my ticket, though. About an hour after they left, my fever spiked and I called my health program's nurse connection. After answering lots of questions, the RN told me to either get to the ER for monitoring and intravenous fluids, or get a neighbor to go buy me some Gatorade or Propel Water because in his opinion, I needed electrolytes and I needed them fast.

D*H used to drink a lot of Gatorade before I convinced him all that sugar was really bad for him and worse for our daughter. Darn it. None in the fridge. But when I went to make some hot tea with lemon - lemons have electrolytes, don't they? - I spotted his electrolyte powder that he uses for his century rides. Woohoo! It's this stuff he orders online at Infinit Nutrition. I mixed up some of that and I was feeling better pretty quick.

When they got home, I was asleep - up and down, really, all night - and we didn't get to talk until Sunday morning, where he made me "breakfast" in bed - a big glass of the electrolyte stuff. Romantic, huh?

Hey Roxy - Look at it this way. a) you weren't tempted by the treats! Treats are always a big danger zone for me. And b) isn't it wonderful to be taken care of so well? I think that's VERY romantic.

I'm glad you're feeling better. Take it easy for a few days. Your body is probably exhausted.

This morning I pulled down my "wish pants". Ones I could wear a few years back I always felt good in. Size 6 but a big/stretchy size 6. A few weeks ago they fit just a bit not right. This morning they fit. The scale says the same-146 but the body says wear the pants! I feel pretty, oh so pretty!

Weight is so funny. This just goes to show that you cannot compare yourself to other people. When I weighed 146 I was a size 12. When you weigh 146 you are a size 6. Go figure!

What a great birthday present! Happy Birthday, Amanda!
