Six Pounds The Hard Way

I’ve lost six pounds in the last week. That’s usually a good thing, isn’t it?

Considering that I also had pneumonia and a fever hovering in the low 100s for six days straight, it’s really not so good. As nice as it was to get out of bed this morning for the first time in nearly a week to find a little extra room in the waistband of my jeans, the instant I looked around my house (dirty dishes, dirty laundry, dirty cat box), I started missing those six pounds.

But, hey, cleaning house burns calories, right?

So, I’m off to ensure my house passes minimal health standards, resume homeschooling (much to my son’s displeasure), catch up on email and do some blogging — all while daydreaming about checking myself into a Vegas hotel.

Something tells me that with the stress of juggling all those things I’ll be finding those six pounds again real soon.

    I’m just glad that you are feeling better. I was starting to get worried. Don’t push yourself too hard, I’m sure the pneumonia put enough stress on your body that if it didn’t trigger a fibro-flare to go along with it, you sure don’t want to follow it with one. I’ll stop being motherly now and just leave it as, I am so glad to see your feeds updating again! :)

    Glad to be seen, too, Chelle!

    I’m definitely planning on taking it easy the next few days to avoid a fibro flare. Was tempted to clean house and get caught up on laundry today, but I know that’d just land me back in bed tomorrow.

    And I am SO tired of being in bed.

    I tried to put my little “I’ve always had you linked” comment under the previous post, but for some reason the comment box never came up. So… just to let you know… I linked you long, long ago, but hardly read anyone’s blog the past little while because I’ve been avoiding dieting and exercise LOL. But, I’m here, and love love love your blog.
