I got totally sick. \u00a0Not just a cold but the kind of flu that knocks you out and keeps you home for days. \u00a0Went to the doctor and got antibiotics and I am still fighting this bug almost two weeks later. \u00a0I did rest as much as possible, but I have commitments and things I just can&#8217;t stay home from even when I am not even back to 100%. \u00a0I had committed to travelling to Penticton and went there for 3 days, but just wasn&#8217;t totally there physically and would have probably been better to have stayed home and rest, but my life does go on.<\/p>\n<p>I am not sitting home stuffing my face with ice cream and oreos, nor am I guzzling vodka straight from the bottle, but I am tired and I just don&#8217;t seem to have the energy to make that smoothie, make the best decisions, or get all the writing done that I need. \u00a0I just had to go back to bed and nap again this morning as I am so very tired. \u00a0I am also coughing a lot so I am not able to go out for a very long walk. \u00a0So here I am writing this just to let you know I am not giving up, and I will be back! \u00a0I will be heading out for another short walk today and have set the goal to get back to the trainer on Saturday so let&#8217;s hope that I get better soon.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose the fact that it is taking me so long to get better is indicative of the state my body is in and the fact it needs to heal and get stronger. \u00a0The other item I must take away from this is that I can&#8217;t do everything and must respect my body more. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t get enough sleep in Ottawa and set early morning appointments since I forgot the 3 hour time difference. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t take my vitamins and pushed my body hard physically on a very long bike ride and walk. \u00a0So I am looking at my schedule in the coming weeks and factoring more rest and less busyness in.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to you shortly with a more positive tone. \u00a0I will be back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a couple weeks since I made a commitment to make some lifestyle changes. \u00a0I was off to a great start. \u00a0I had some great body healing sessions with massage therapist Dr. Vita Narbutiene \u00a0and left feeling like a million bucks. \u00a0She is a true healer. \u00a0I did some sound therapy and reflexology with<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6494],"tags":[5547,6785,34577],"class_list":["post-21944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-life","tag-glvsprucesup","tag-glv-spruces-up","tag-healthbeauty"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.6) -
