I finally got a good nights sleep. I got to bed and fell immediately to sleep at ten last night and slept until eight this morning. Thinking to myself, "Finally, a good night's sleep!" Then I realize the cold I've been fighting for the past week had worsened. Yesterday had been a great day, I felt almost myself again, had two really good walks with the dog..........she's losing weight with me........I was on top of my game. Not so much today. My dog got a mini walk this morning and I'm medicating myself with Homeopathic cold meds, sneezing, my ear is blocked which is throwing off my equilibrium, making me feel a bit woozy and my throat is a bit sore. So that's my situation.
What I used to do under these circumstances was to get all cozied up on the couch and munch my way through the day, self medicating with food.......well, the truth be know, my medication of choice would be sweets. Wine gums and red licorice come immediately to mind. Cookies, Westcoat trail muffins (aren't they health food?), good bakery crusty bread, butter and cheese, ice cream (mother gave me that to make me feel better and "help" cool my sore throat) and anything chocolate.
What the new me is doing now: The TV is on in the other room and I'm listening to the storyline while I journal. I know it doesn't burn a lot of calories but it beats laying on the couch. I type fast so that has to be good for something. I've been reading several other blogs which have inspired me enough to stay on track and make a concerted effort not to resort to the couch. For the sake of my health , I plan on having a nap this afternoon and chicken noodle soup for lunch. It really does clear the nasal passages! As for my dog; she will get a decent walk after dinner no matter how I feel.
Update: The dog and I just got back from a 35 minute walk. Mission complete.
