Well I'm back, as the Terminator would say...I wonder if he ever got the flu? OK I have to say...I haven't felt that run over by a train, in a long time! The flu hit our family pretty hard, I was the last of course, believing that I wouldn't get it...until our youngest was really sick and spent several nights in our bed coughing thru out the night...in my face. I will spare you the gory details! Then Christmas came and went, in a wink of an eye! And now, New Years is right around the corner! I just realized that I haven't Blogged since Dec. 4th! And I have also realized that part of the reason I got sick was my body was saying slow down! I did work out during the flu and have to say I did feel better, but afterwards I was wiped for the day. One thing I really noticed was how sugar effected my moods and energy level. With all the left over baking and party food and no self-restraint, I have been over indulging and really just eating with out thinking. This has done a real number on my system. After eating this type of food I've notice shortly after, a huge energy crash, where I literally have to go have a nap, and then wake up feeling like I'm hung over. Ok so I don't look that cute after I wake up!
This yo-yo sugar diet has also increased my irritability...go figure! Which is not so good, since the kids are home from school for another week! So what have I learned...to enjoy the holidays, family and friends, and eat lots of food you wouldn't normally eat! The great thing about the holidays is, you feel so grouse afterwards, like a bloat seal that you won't do it again til next year!
Me too.
