These Flues, Colds preceded by Other Problems



Or: What happened these last few weeks

Back on 1/4/13 I started to write:

Finally a Normal Day’s workout at our new home


At the end of Sept 2012 we moved in with friends. The best, well only place my Total Gym fit, under a day bed, was in a family room. This room gets used, parts of most days by all members of the household. During the holidays that room had to be cleaned, decorated and set up for entertaining guests.



Now we are back to business as usual. Finally! During that time I also finally figured out when would be the best time to drag my Total Gym out from under the day bed, set it up and use it!

 

 And I did!

On Friday Jan 4th and Tue Jan 8th

Then:
Not too slowly
Members of our household got the flue
By 1/15 it was my teenage daughter’s turn
& by the 16th it was mine.

And this flue apparently comes in:
Without fever, vomiting or even diarrhea
As well as with one, or all, of the above

It is not easy to recover from and only one of us did not get his flue shot

So be aware, your flu shot might not cover this one

Then, just this week, just feeling like myself again,
I get the 1st head cold of some magnitude I have had in about 20 years!

Now feeling myself again, I hope to resume exercise.

As it stands, I have not been exercising regularly since mid to late Sept of 2012, and I never diet, apart from trying to eat high fiber, because I am over 50 and it is supposed to be good for our arteries…

I know my mid-section looks a bit flabby, but my clothes are still pleasantly loose.

For long lasting results, I doubt I could ask for better!

Hopefully I can have a normal, in all respects, week soon and
Resume my workouts
And this log of how that is going!

Have a better year than I have had of late!
