I decided to take Friday night off from Insanity because my sore throat has moved into my chest and it causing much coughing and hacking. Let me tell ya, it's attractive stuff.
I haven't been getting enough sleep this week, my body is tired and I just needed a break. Back to it today though (Saturday!) and ready for it. I've been eating emergen-c like crazy. Josh tells me he used to eat it as candy right out of the packet. Have you tried emergen-c? I'm eating the kind with 500 mg of glucosamine because I'm worried that being so heavy + intense exercise is taking it's toll on my body.
I was going through archives recently and realized that I haven't done a wardrobe remix or anything fashion related in a long, long time. I'll get on that!
What are your plans for the weekend? Here is my tentative to-do list:
- Finish up custom jewelry orders, get those out in the mail
- Organize jewelry area, make jewelry for shop update and upcoming craft show
- Update blog (of course)
- Exercise
- Create a meal plan for next week
- Clean the house and do some packing (!!!) (I desperately need to clean)
- Get all my shipping/packaging supplies together and organized
- Return emails
- And a bunch of other loose ends.
So guess what? My favorite blogger ever (ever ever ever) of all time is adopting and while I've never met her in person and doubt I ever will I am as happy for her as I could be for a close friend. Alicia Paulson from Posie Gets Cozy.
I've been reading her blog for years, I re-read her blog archives at the beginning of every season. She writes memories in such a way that would make you think she has time travel abilities, she draws upon feelings and emotions from childhood, and growing up as if she just watched everything play out in a movie. She is super creative, self-employed, author and all around genuinely special person. She has has hardship in her life; an accident shortly after moving to Portland and yet she has accomplished so much.
She has inspired me, and a lot of what I do has been energized by her own passion and success in blogging and creativity. I could not imagine someone better suited to be a mother. And I just wanted to share because I needed to tell someone how excited I am and what better way than my own blog? I came this close to waking Josh up telling him that "Alicia and her husband are adopting!!!!" but instead I'm telling you guys.
I hope you feel better soon! I have never tried emergen-c but am currently run down and don’t want to get sick so that may be just the thing!
Emergen-C is great when you’re sick, but I sometimes go straight for chugging orange juice instead since the acidity somehow seems to help my sore throat (I have a weird theory about killing bacteria, etc). And it’s good that you took the day off to let your body recoup. I sometimes worry about working too hard with my size too, but then I remember those people on the Biggest Loser. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never been under the impression that what they do to those people is all that healthy, but it hasn’t killed anyone yet either, hehe. My weekend is mostly chores to, but I totally splurged today for the first time in a while at my Georgetown Cupcake meetup party so I guess I’ll have to put in an extra hour at the gym to make up.
I hope you feel better soon!
I bet your bodies glad for a day away from all the pounding you’ve been giving it doing the insanity workouts.
Anything with Vitamin C should be great at helping you to shift your illness, hope you feel better soon. Having a good clean up and clear out is a great way to spend a weekend; I find it really helps me to clear my mind as well, and what could be more empowering than that! Have a good time!
Acupuncture Miss Lori! I’m in school for it right now (otherwise known as not allowed to practice except for in clinic under supervision) and we do ear treatments for weight loss, similar to smoking cessation, and it helps build the body up and keep it up–also helps for things like stopping slight wind cold attacks from going deeper which sounds like what happened to you. Obviously I’m not trying to get your business but if you have any questions feel free to email me. I have honestly seen wonderful things happen in my own life and in the lives of our patients.
