I'm feeling much better, so I went to work on Wednesday and Thursday. But I'm glad I'm off today. One of the effects of this bug is a lingering cough. It woke me up twice last night, and because I didn't want to wake up Hub, I had to get up both times to COUGH really hard (you know how sometimes you just need to COUGH?) and get a cough drop. Then it took me a while to get back to sleep. So, it was nice to be able to sleep in a bit this morning.I've been sticking with the 4HB diet pretty closely, even while I was sick. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's "pig-out day", but I don't think I'm going to really pig out. Hub and I discussed it, and it seems stupid and counter-productive to go way overboard just because we have "permission." And, to be honest, the concept of pigging out (aka bingeing) makes me uncomfortable. I think it goes back to my bulimic days, the idea that a binge must of course be followed by a purge. Yuck. So I think I'll just enjoy a few treats, but I won't go crazy. More like being on vacation for a day.
Right now, I'm going to work out a bit with weights and the kettlebell. The weather is mild today and not raining, so then B and I are going to see his Auntie Pam and Kermit and Olive this afternoon. We'll take a little walk around her neighborhood. Should be fun. I know B will be in heaven.
I hope everyone has a good weekend!
I'm glad to hear you are feeling better. Coughing is the worst part, I think. Hope that clears up quickly.
ReplyDeleteLove the Julia Child quote! And I agree with you about the pig-out thing. A few treats sounds do-able.
Enjoy your walk with B and friends :)
A few treats sounds fine to me. That is better than a binge (with all its negative out-of-control connotations) any time, IMHO. Maybe men (and I am thinking of the author of the book) regard a binge differently to the way a woman does.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're feeling better, Grace. Have a good weekend.
