Ah well. I'm still nursing the tail end of a night cough, thank you post nasal drip.
I'm doing what I can to stay hydrated, and I've given in to taking some stronger cough syrup so I'll at least be able to sleep thru the night.
Things are not great here in Fondlesville.
Meanwhile, here are some links for you to read - the topic : Exercising and Being Sick.
Should you? It depends on where the symptoms are- above or below the neck
They're above the neck. What Exercise can I do safely?
So is it an allergy? Or do I have an infection?
Getting past the all-night coughing fits
That's all from me for this edition of FFF. Which right now stands for "Flu for Friday" for me...
I'm so sorry you're feeling bad! Take care of yourself and get well soon! <3
ReplyDeleteThe lingering cough seems to be getting better so i’m hopeful that by next week i can get back to exercising!
DeleteOh dear Fondles you poor girl. Take care, eat chicken noodle soup and drink pineapple juice. Hope you feel better quickly. Sending positive healing vibes your way.
ReplyDeleteHugs Lindy xx
Im a lot better now than when i wrote this post a few days ago so things are definitely looking up!
DeleteHi Fondles,
ReplyDeleteSorry you have been under the weather and glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. You have done well getting the steps in.
I am down a day with the walking and a day with the exercises. For some reason I have also struggled a bit with the exercises so haven't quite managed the usual number each day.
Hugs

This week wasnt much better altho i did just come back from an hour’s walking. So thats good.
DeleteGlad you're feeling better, Fondles. Maybe all that work last week left your immune system drained.
ReplyDeleteWhat Lindy said, although for me it would be OJ.
Hugs,
Jlynne
Yeah i think so too. Usually when i get the flu i sleeeeep. This time round i couldnt cos of the cny prep. Grrr.
DeleteAWWW..so sorry to read this..take good care of yourself...and start again..slowly...hugs abby
ReplyDeleteThank you Abby! I HATE HATE HATE not being my most get-go and ready-for-anything self. But I suppose this will teach me that I shouldn't just assume I'll be at my peak ALL THE TIME and when I'm down I just gotta accept that some things will have to give. I'm starting again today... did an hour's walking and I'm feeling TIRED - but accomplished!
DeleteTake care. Hope you are up and running soon.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

After two weeks of this wretched virus i hope so too. Im feeling much better today. (Post was scheduled some days ago..)
DeleteNot the best way to start the new year, but it sounds like you've bounced back. So the worst is behind you. Good things from here on!
ReplyDeleteYep! It seems so too. But despite the ahems i did have a great cny weekend!
DeleteSo sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. This flu season has been mighty awful. As a Jewish mama I always tell people - chicken soup - I don't know how that got started but I swear it has medicinal properties!
ReplyDeleteMy FFF4 on Weight Watchers has been good but definitely slowed down. Still, as long as the scale is heading down I'm ok with it. I probably need to drink more water and definitely need to exercise more. Blah. My husband knows my love for putting on my pjs as early as possible so he worked it in to help motivate me to exercise. If I exercise, I don't have to "ask' to put them on. Lol! As he is not particularly HOHy (we are slowly moving in the TTWD world) I was pretty surprised. Have to say, it is quite motivating.
The Chinese actually believe that chicken will irritate the throat and make one's cough worse. I'm not sure I believe it, but I've been conditioned not to have any chicken when I'm hacking... altho I did at the tail end of this flu. That pajama thing sounds like he knows you well - enough to know what will work as a carrot anyway!
DeleteInteresting how cultures vary, isn't it? Do hope you're feeling better today!
DeleteYup. I think they believe chicken is “heaty” or “yang” and will make a flu worse. I have links to this TCM business in my FFF recap :) and yes i AM feeling better, thanks!
DeleteSending you all the healing vibes, Fondles!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It must be working cos I'm feeling heaps better!
DeleteGlad you’re feeling better. Don’t go too mad to catch up though, you don’t need a relapse!
ReplyDeleteRosie xx
Good tip. Thanks for the reminder. I do tend to overdo things to compensate.
DeleteHi Fondles,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that the creeping crud is fleeing and you are slowly getting better. I swear by chicken soup but I guess in reality any fluid intake is good. Any rest; as much as you can!!!!
I don't know why but exercise this week went out the window. No sessions on the bike or equipment and only 1 doggie walk to the beach and back...about 5 kms.
Still on the fast diet and weight loss seems to be holding; down 3 kgs from starting weight. Only 5 more to go.
Good that the fasting is working. But it does seem like quite a number of us have been low on the exercise this round. We’ll pick up next week!
DeleteHope you're feeling better, Fondles! Yeah, it sucks to have the flu. It's draining! Rest up and take care.
ReplyDeleteYeah as my doctor says- if you seldom get the flu it probably means when you do get it it’ll be a particularly “strong” strain. I AM feeling better so that’s good!
DeleteOh, I so hope you start healing soon!
ReplyDeleteYes yes. I am almost back to 100% full health. A few more days and all will be right as rain!
