Just Friday I stood outside my bosses door and explained to her that I never get sick when the rest of the family is. I told her I usually feel a bit out of sorts but I don't get hit hard with it. Well, CRAP if I wasn't sick as a dog this weekend and laid up in bed most of it. I was sick to my stomach, headache, and so tired. A was running a low fever and achey. When I woke up this morning my stomach felt better bit then poor Justin woke up with a fever, headache, and stomach ache. I felt so bad for him. He laid down with me for a while then we started giving him Motrin and lots of fluids. He has beenquiet and out of sorts all day but says he feels better. We'll see how he feels when he wakes up in the morning.
As for me, when I don't feel well I feel the need to eat crackers, pretzels and drink gingerale. I always seem to feel that eating something sweet will make me feel better but it really doesn't. Today I feel puffy...not so much bloated but puffy from the salt and bread type stuff. I'm looking forward to getting back to eating "normally" tomorrow.
I've been really thinking about getting back on Paleo a lot lately. With that thought, my husband asked me what I am giving up for Lent. So, I'm thinking why not give up processed foods. I have never been able to complete 4 straight weeks of Paleo without cheating. Well if I decide this is something I need to sacrafice for God for all he sacraficed for me, I should be able to...right? Well, I'm not sure. It's a sacrafice I need to make, I'm just trying to evaluate if this is something I feel I can do successfully. I have 2 more days to think and pray about it before I make my final decision.
I also need to get my weekends on track. I have been doing great with my eating during the week but not so well on the weekends. My schedule during the week is ideal...the weekends are so unpredictible.
I'm working at taking my life a day at a time. WHatever is not in my day will not be a thought...if it is a thought, I try to erase it. It's not something that always works, especially when I need to be proactive haha but it helps with lots of other things.
