Mrs. Dramatic is Back.

I survived what I now like to call

The Great Epidemic of 2012.

Seriously, I was so dang sick.

Fevers all week long.

I spent the majority of my days

in ugly combinations of

bad flannel pants, tee shirts, old man sweaters,

a much over-due for hair dye "do"

and one earth-quaking cough.

I resided here most days.

 but it looked like this

 for days and days.

On Friday afternoon my fever was gone.

I finally got to see the grand kids on Sunday.

That was the worst part.

I missed them so much.

I didn't work out but I did keep up 

with all my bootcamp assignments,

my reading, and my food logging.

I stayed on the food plan,

over simplified... 40% carbs, 40% protein, and 20% fat.

I had to make myself eat most times.

My stomach had a bug too.

In the old days, I would have suffered with

ice cream and buttered toast.

I compromised with whole wheat toast(no butter)

and Greek yogurt.

Blessedly, I am down a total of 10 pounds 

and anxious to resume

 more vigorous workouts.

Until my lungs clear up,

I am told by my coach to

keep my activities low intensity and low minutes.

I tried ignoring Coach

and nearly coughed up my left lung.

So I guess it pays to heed that advice.

I watched a show on Netflix 

while I was down.

Land Girls, Season 1.

I am in love with it.

Now I have to wait for Season 2 and 3.

It is a BBC program

and I cannot figure out where to watch it 

for free in the meantime. 

Can anybody help a girl out?

You'd be the berries. :)
