How are you doing with your health fitness stuff? Spectacular! Terrific! Excellent! Or opposite of that. Or somewhere in between.

(Get your PCLT points in and I will be doing the month post shortly).

I'm doing rather poopy. I have a cold or allergies or something and feel generally unwell. Boo. I've been eating well, and actually got some exercise in before I felt awful, but I've been sleeping very poorly.

Been eating more soup lately. I guess that's a good thing.

Okay with the eating. In the midst of one of those dreaded colds, so exercise has been minimal this week.

Anybody have any good ideas for exercising while sick? I don't want to go to the gym -- it's germy enough there without me blowing a bunch of more stuff in the air. But home is hard. And the weather is not exactly conducive to brisk walks or anything.

If your house has stairs, walking up and down, though boring, will help.

Work more on losing back the holiday weight gain. Almost there.

Get more sleep. I, too, have a cold, apparently incubated last night and in full growth upon awakening. Tiredness has much to do with it, IMO. Soup sounds good to me, too.

Try not to hurt self lifting and moving the mattress and box spring tomorrow when I clean under the bed.

You could use the halls of your school - get there early and power walk or stay late.

If your school has a second floor - those stairs would be great - climb backwards and forwards. Backwards is amazing - make sure you stay awake!

I love that you asked the question.

I might be drinking a bit too much alcohol.

I am loving running outside and then the 30 minute walk with Sting is fun,

I am doing good at restaurant eating - not giving into "There is nothing healthy, so screw it." I am making a pest of myself and asking that things be made for me by their chef.

I have pneumonia. But the coughing has tightened my stomach muscles, and I lost a total of 6 pounds in two weeks. So it has it's plusses....

Mini, I'm sorry to hear about the pneumonia, but at least you now can get the right stuff to cure it! (I loved my cipro last year, when I had pneumonia.) Please get better fast, and let your MIL know she wasn't the sickest, after all. She'll start searching for a typhoid carrier.

I don't think that's the best way to lose 6 pounds, which, btw, I don't think you needed to lose in the first place.

I hope you're on the road to recovery. Please take care of yourself.
