Back from the Dead

The fever is gone, the throat is ok, still a little congested and blowing my nose, but all in all, I'm think I'm back from the dead. What a horrible little bug I caught. I did walk 30 minutes on Thursday and it TOTALLY WIPED me out. I think I pushed it earlier than I should have. I should have rested. I don't think I'm going to start the walking again until I feel 100%. I am back on YOAD though. Thanks to everyone for all your positive thoughts.

  1. Ugh....the next time your sick, stay off of your computer! You're contagious! I'm sick too and feel like I've been thrown under a bus. Sore throat, cough, fever, aches, etc. It's been two days now and my whole family was wiped out with it. Luckily, they've all resurrected and I'll be okay in a few days too!

    Glad you're better!

  2. For a sore throat gargle with vinager it will kill the germs and if your are congested but some OTC musinex this stuff works and it used to be a perscription drug , I am a Doctor and have been reading your blog from time to time I have also been on the plan for several months due to a patients advise , By the way I have lost almost 37 lbs . If you follow these instruction and are not feeling better after a day or so see you family physican it can turn into a sinus infection fast .

  5. Hey, You got it!! Orange Halloween/Autumn colors.

    Lisa, thanks for the advice. I did gargle with apple cider vinegar when I first started getting the sore throat and IT WAS A MIRACLE!! I gargled with it every hour for about 8 hours and the next day, the sore throat was history! The stuff works. I'm pretty much back to my old self now. And WAY TO GO on your 37 pounds!!! Thanks everyone!

    Thanks Rena, gonna recorder Oprah.

  7. It's overcast, rainy, about 70 degrees at 4:00 MST.. Very nice change from the hot summer weather. I read about the apple cider vinegar from a home remedy website.

    They said to make sure it's REAL apple cider vinegar (preferably organic). The site said that HEINZ is only apple cider FLAVORED. I don't know about if that's true, but I got the organic stuff at my local Trader Joe's. (love that place). AND IT REALLY REALLY WORKED!!!

    Get some rest, Rena before you kill yourself!!

  10. Hi Rena,

    I'm much better, thanks. I plan to go back to my exercising tomorrow (pilates & treadmill).

    I watched 1/2 of Oprah and was sorry I missed the rest. What a good idea to have a forum so men can be comfy asking those embarrasing questions!

  12. I live in Los Angeles, California. Previously lived in Dallas, TX. I ran across Rich's webpage from the Realage forum. I was 233 pounds in December 06 (pregnant) and lost the first 33 pounds easily and have lost an addtl 22 pounds by YOAD. So, as of my last weigh-in, I was 178 lbs, however being ill this past week with no exercise, I'm worried about my waist measurements and scale come this Friday!
