View HAPPYJO's food & exercise for this day
Well ... not totally from a diet perspective ... I just felt off.
I know it's this cold it's totally messing with my head. Argh.
I'm taking oil of oregano ... and some throat lozenges with Echinacea in them ... so I'm hoping that will keep whatever it is that is attacking my poor body at bay.
If it's strep I'm pretty much hooped ... but everything else I should really be able to fight.
So aside from the ookiness that is going on in my head not much happened yesterday, I managed a push for some 30 day shred ... but not much more than that. Then I tried to make myself feel better with chocolate.
We can take that off of the list of possible cures for what ails me.
Today I'm getting my first massage EVER!!! I'm pretty friggin pumped. My friend is taking me out just because we havent seen each other in a long time so we are splitting the use of a gift card she has. Apparently there is a sauna and steam room that I can also use after our massage which I am hoping will help clear up the lungs.
Then we are going out to a fun girly dinner and possibly some Mama Mia watching. It sounds like an excellent night.
Then tomorrow our friend who travels for 5 weeks for his job is back in town so were going to do Christmas with him and then just chill out until the boys have to leave for their hockey game. I think I will probably call it a night then (If Im still feeling like I am) and then Sunday is officially a day of rest for me.
Well ... groceries need to be bought but other than that I don't want to be doing anything. And if I still feel like this ... I may end up going to the Dr.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Oh no! I'm totally with Nora re: ZINC. It's the BOMB and we recommend it to all the HIV patients I volunteer with to boost the immune system. Just be sure to eat with it... it's a serious nauseant for most people by itself. Did I tell you this yesterday...? I'm losin' it!! (((hugs)))) anyway and feel better soooooon!

zinc is another good thing to load up on for the common cold. i've been going back and forth between that an the echinacea lozenges when i start to feel it coming on. it usually passes. i've also been known to make my own "steam room" by almost boiling water and sticking my head under a towel "tent" and sucking in the steam. that often helps.
:) have fun today! sounds like it's going to be pretty packed, but all fun!

Enjoy your massage today. That reminds me, I think I have a gift certificate that for some reason I never used. Hmm... Hope that you feel better soon, and have a wonderful weekend!
