Since I last posted, I have worked out maybe twice. But I'm not apologizing or even asking for more encouragement, because I have lost, like 3-4 lbs!
That's pretty amazing, right?! Last Tuesday morning I had a great workout! I did Turbo Sculpt and was able to push myself more than I had in a long time.
That afternoon I felt sore. I love feeling sore after a workout! But I did think it was odd that I would feel sore so soon.
The next day I knew I had a sinus infection and maybe a virus. My legs and joints ached and my sinuses burned, but no fever. Shoulda known the soreness wasn't from the workout.
*sigh*
On top of that, all week I was running errands and didn't get to nurse Samuel as often as usual. Ella had dental surgery on Friday, so I was away for several hours. (She had some cavities worked on. I'll blog about it soon.)
By Saturday night I had full blown mastitis. 102.3° fever, aches, chills, miserable. My aches and pains from earlier in the week were still there, only worse. So I'm still not sure if I had 1 or 2 sicknesses. ??
Today I still feel weak and sick, but no fever. I've been nursing exclusively. Poor Samuel. He was really liking his baby food. Also, I'm about to start an antibiotic (once I pick it up)- or should I if I'm not running a fever anymore?
Once I'm able to workout again, I'm really going to hit the weights hard! I don't want to lose muscle from being sick. Plus it's my favorite way to workout ;)
I have to say, my kids have been amazing! Not only was I sick, but Johnny has been sick since last Tuesday (or maybe before that) with a low-grade fever, and Travis has had a fever since Sunday. Katherine has been an angel babysitting for me and helping around the house. Olivia and Bryn have been super helpful and Ella too, when she could. Samuel is all smiles all the time. He had a fever last night, but seems okay today.
I couldn't ask for more.

My sister in law at Jake's reunion went to er with infection and I texted Jake About pain. I know nursing infections aren't contagious but wow.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you were sick...but i guess it's good you lost weight! hahah just don't gain it all back..it seems i always seem to just put it right back on once i was sick. and to answer your question yes i would still take the antibiotics just in case the virus or infection is still in you. have fun with your body sculpt....that does sound fun! love you!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're sick but I'm glad that you're already seeing progress on your weight goal. Hope the antibiotics work quickly!
ReplyDeleteI commented last night but for some reason it didn't stick! Sorry you're sick - hope you are up and at 'em soon. Your post reminded me of a friend who said, "I'm one stomach-flu away from my goal weight!" Haha
