Getting sick

So, as I was falling asleep last night, I felt like I could vomit. I didn't, I got to sleep fine around 10:30pm and woke up at 8:00am. That should have been more than enough sleep, but I woke up still feeling yucky in my tummy, and with the added bonus of a sore throat/congestion. So, I emailed my professors that I wouldn't be in class today and went back to sleep.


For 4 hours. That is how I know I'm really fighting something. If I can sleep like that and want to crawl into bed at 7:30pm, I'm getting sick. It's a big bummer because I was getting back into my running routine after my quads healed up. I'll see how I feel when I wake up tomorrow and make the call then. I've been getting my vitamin C, drinking water, and tea all day long.


Speaking of vitamin C, have you ever tried a tangelo?! Ohhhh my goodness, you are missing out on the best tasting fruit ever. A tangelo is only around 60-70 calories, is packed with vitamin C, has the sweetness of an orange, but the tart kick of a grapefruit. I guess they are a cross between tangerines and something called a pomelo. I'm head over heals for these things. I bought 11 of them at the grocery store today and I may or may not have had 2 already . . . It is love.


Even though Sunday are weigh in days, I decided to step on the scale today. By some magic, I'm down 1.5 pounds from Sunday. How is that possible? Water weight? I don't know. Have you ever had that happen? I find it hard to believe that I lost 1.5 pounds of real weight in 3 days. We'll see what happens on Sunday morning for the actual weigh in day!


Oh, I almost forgot to tell you the good things that happened today. That's something I'm working on: Every day I'm going to sit down and think about the good things that happened to me that day. Today I scored an interview at a cool restaurant near my place. I think it went well, so fingers crossed! Also, I got a sweet little package in the mail from my friend who is on a weight loss journey of her own. She sent me a t-shirt from her school that says "Varsity Sports" on the front, and "Run hard, live easy" on the back. It came with a card to let me know she was thinking about me. I almost teared up, I was so touched. It makes me smile to know I have people like her in my life, in my corner, pushing me along.
