I took a 4 day weekend in order to celebrate my husband's birthday, and I've been sick the entire time. Not only am I personally not thrilled with being sick, I'm feeling guilty for making a mess of hubby's birthday.

And worse, I hardly ever get sick for this long ... it's just our luck, I suppose.

Another issue I take with this sickness is that it's slowing my progress at the gym. Well, let's be honest ... my "progress" was debatable - but at least I had been getting out there and trying.

I did, however, make it to an appointment I had at the gym with a trainer, Shane. He is a fit guy, in his twenties, a little cockier than I would like, BUT at least he provided me with a full body workout that I think will help me in the long run. I'm willing to give it a try anyway. PLUS! I jogged today! For 5 minutes. It doesn't sound impressive ... but to me, this is a helluva feat! I'm excited to jump on the treadmill and see what else I can do when I push myself...

Well, here's to hopefully feeling better tomorrow!
