Down, But Not Out

Well,  i mentioned the burning cough last week...unfortunately it turned into the full blown flu and finally bought me down on Saturday night.  So, for the last 4 days I have been out of action with all the flu symptoms - fever, temperature, rash, cough, nausea, headaches...not fun!

I am so gutted that it has hit me in the middle of this 12 week challenge.  I feel so helpless lying at home, when i should be feeling healthy and out there exercising. But I know full well I couldn't have done anything if I tried.

I am starting to feel better now, no more high temperature or nausea.  The cough it still lingering but that will also be in part because of my asthma.  I am itching to get back into exercise and this 12 week challenge, but am scared if I go out to hard right away, it will just land me on my back again...

I may need to enrol in the help of my motivational voucher for a 1:1 with Ron - to get me on the right track again and make sure I'm doing the right things.

Well, I did manage to get along to Jellie Park tonight for my weight in.  I was quite nervous to say the least as with zero exercise in the last 5 days and not much thought put into my eating, not to mention my lack of water intake - well, the scales could say anything!

Anyway, I had a small loss.  Only 1.4kg...but (I tell myself) it is a loss and it is in the right direction.  I am not planning on letting a flu (or an earthquake) get in my way again, so the next 9 weeks should be obstacle free!

I hope you are all pleased with your results at week 3 and making the most of all the resources out there.
