  Good and Bad News
Everyone has been gone for over a week. Fwwww!! It is so nice and quiet around here.
The problem is.... all three of us got sick. While my family was here my dad got sick-- fever and body aches.

Monday and Tuesday I was super sick--- achey, super fatigued and constantly on the verge of tears. Hubby was sick as well-- very achy and fatigued. Now he has tummy issues. Just yesterday Kiddo started to complain of body aches and being tired. He slept tons more last night than he normally does. He begged me to let skip his school work so that he could just lay on the couch or play in his new playroom.

The positive news is I am seeing lots of wonderful results of my exercising. I am not tolerating hard core cardio. I do much better with some Wii stepping and hula-hooping. I have also been doing some walking outside when the weather cooperates. I have been doing awesome with yoga, strength training and core exercises. I have lost 4 lbs!!! I have about 15 lbs yet to loose. I have already gained some muscle. My stomach already has some definition. SWEET!! The most exciting things is that my clothes are starting to fit better and different. My yoga pants are having a hard time staying up.

In a few weeks I go to clinic to have my bone density checked and do my Pft's. I am hoping all this exercise has raised my lung numbers and strengthen my bones.

Better close for now... we are watching a fun educational show together. We just finished watching the Jensen project.
