Feel like crappola today. Still battling this damn flu - and have the heaviest chest which is making it hard to breathe. I've lost almost half a kilo in just the last few days alone - with MOTH (Man of the House) urging me to eat...eat! - but I just don't feel like it. Trying to stay on top of things though - taking a multi-V and picking away at protein based foods. Do we get sicker now because we have less reserves? I'm not sure - but wading my way through this week working - and a lot of it quite physical based (with a face-mask in place so as not to infect the elderly) probably hasn't helped. I did two hours of home-help yesterday with one client AND walked for an hour and half with another - a wheelchair bound lady who I took out to get some sunshine and fresh air - and promptly got lost. We had to stop twice to ask for directions back to her house. So that's probably helped too with the weight loss - I'm moving a lot. Still so blonde some days.
Today is a rare day off and I'm doing squat. Nothing harder than going to the library to load up on books and reading blogs on here. Hope you girls and guys are having a nicer time of it. I just want to make it through to Sunday and hopefully the new week beyond will bring a healthier me. Cos right now, this bites and I'm over it.

ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself. Hope a day off makes you feel a bit better.
ReplyDeleteAww... that's no good - hope you feel better soon. I used to be a teacher and I always noticed that new teachers get sick a lot in their first year. I'd say it's true in your profession too. You are being exposed to a lot of different 'bugs' from your patients and it will take a while for your immunity to build up. Take care :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon! Rest up while you can-

I so hope you get better soon...nothing worse than being sick in a new job...you just soldier on don't you. Don't sweat about the non eating it has happened twice to me now due to gastro and flu anmd I bounced back ok....Take care
ReplyDeleteSweet Cara... YOU need to rest and recharge. I keep forgetting you are in the fall/winter season Aka Flu Season.. drink your fluids most important (but you know that).. hugs to you and feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you're feeling yucky. A day of relaxation and rest is probably just what you need. Glad you're finally getting it. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Otherwise the walking and exercise through work sounds like it is going well.
ReplyDeletePooh! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are over this soon!
ReplyDeleteGet some rest and feel better soon! :)
ReplyDeleteFeel better, dear Cara! I hope that this day of R&R sets you right!
ReplyDeleteAaawwww...that sucks. Hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteI hope you start feeling better soon, and that you enjoy your day off!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon and I hope the day of just chillin out worked wonders for you!
ReplyDeleteCara, I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteCara I hope you feel better !!! Just lay down and relax
ReplyDeleteHoping you're feeling better and didn't infect all those poor ladies. Maybe you should get a GPS for those walks. Glad the lady was in a wheelchair, but at least you got some exercise.
ReplyDeleteGet lots of rest Cara. Hope you're on the mend soon!

Ah Cara!! I am so sorry that you are feeling like crap!! Hope you feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Enjoy your day off and rest, rest and rest some more! Feel better friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your words of support and encouragement these past few weeks.
Get better soon!! Sorry to hear you are struggling with the bloody flu. I think maybe we do get hit harder with these things now. I am really concious of keeping the protein in even if food is not an option. I have been turning to the optifast shakes lately just to get some protein!! Anway.......get better ya tart!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are on the mend Cara!
ReplyDeleteIt sucks to be sick...! Hope you are feeling better soon. I'm not sure whether we are being hit harder by some bugs without our resilient weight reserves... but I am with you about feeling the cold! Winter is just starting to bite here in NZ too of course and I am really feeling the cold like never before. I need extra layers during the day and extra blankets at night... my MOTH says I am no longer the reliable electric blanket he is used to!
ReplyDeleteAnyway - HUGE congrats on being so close to your goal. And thanks for your messages to me - I love the support!
Take care, Jenny
it's about a week later so I hope you are well by now!!!
