It's funny how timing works, isn't it? Just this last weekend/earlier this week things started to trickle in that I had ordered to help Mia and I in our lifestyle changes. The Vita-Mix, the food processor, raw food "cook" books, powders from HealthForce, a book from Cafe Gratitude. I was filled with such vigor to go out and buy the ingredients I needed to start preparing these amazing meals and smoothies. And then we got hit with a flu bug.
At 11:30pm on Monday night my daughter started getting sick and that lasted every hour or so until 6:00pm on Tuesday. Wednesday was filled with horrible ear pain for her, dizziness and high fever that made it nearly impossible for her to move. Of course, my time under the weather and with my face in a toilet was bound to come and that it did at noon on Thursday. Fortunately, we had just gotten home from seeing the doctor about her ears and I didn't suffer the embarrassment of vomiting in public. That would have been horrible.
While I was laid out for most of Thursday, drifting in and out of sleep, and today have pretty much sat around unwilling to do anything, I chalk up the fact that I only vomited twice and didn't feel near as horrible as Mia or my mom because of the changes I've already made in how I eat and how I treat my body. As soon as my kid started getting sick, I started using HealthForce's Truly Natural Vitamin C three times a day. And I really, really think that contributed to my not getting hit as hard. I also learned that I will never eat McDonald's again. I'll spare you the details.
Now I'm just excited that we're both coming back to life. We're not 100% yet but we're getting there, slowly but surely. I'm excited to feel like ourselves again. Afterall, we've got two of Mandi's hoops that we haven't gotten to break in yet.
