I'm Sick

Jennifer's got the flu.

Thought I was just having stomach cramps. I was alternating between Tylenol & Motrin all day on Saturday and wondering why they weren't going away. Woke up around five Sunday morning and ran for the bathroom - for pukes & the runs (Too Much Information!!). :)

I pretty much slept all day today. Got up around 5 this evening, feeling exhausted. Just took a bath. I'd say "hot" but the water wasn't because our water heater isn't up for that if someone takes a shower first. Anyway, I feel a little better, very tired out...going to bed.

Just bummed out because I've missed church for the past three Sundays (counting today). We overslept one of them and I was sick (anxiety) the other time. I gotta laugh when I hear that this was supposed to be a "mild" flu season. Apparently, all ten strains of the flu have hit me this winter. Or whatever the amount of strains is for it to be considered mild. Ironic because I've been eating healthier and exercising regularly. Ah, well...at least spring is here. Hopefully, this will be the last of it.

I've lost almost ten pounds (not from the flu). I'm so excited about that! I just signed on with a big group of church people who are doing an April Fitness Challenge. We get points for eating fruits, vegetables and drinking water and exercising. Our group is Stephanie and Vanessa and Heidi (their sister-in-law, married to Wayne).

We start counting points tomorrow. Better hit the hay! I'm wiped!

yeah i have been lucky enough to lose weight and not eat healthy, the reason is that as I'm going to school I'm not eating as much so i cant gain the weight. also I'm really having a hard time affording the time it takes to make or buy the stuff that's good for me.
