i hate being sick.it's the worst.
mom's shouldn't be allowed to get sick.
because everything falls apart when they do.
thenkids don't get dressed, hair doesn't get combed, toys are left everywhere,
and the kids just sit in front of the tv all day while i feel like i'm dying lying in bed.
about a week and a half ago i started feeling sick.
nothing big... just a headache and a scratchy throat.
it came and went until a few days ago.
then it hit me with a vengeance.
i was having a fever, chills, headaches, body aches, and a super duper sore throat.
after 2 days of this and it wasn't getting any better i decided i should probably go see a doctor.
i went and sure enough i was pretty sick.
i had strep throat.
NOT FUN!!!!!
i haven't had strep since i was like 8 or 10 (i can't really remember...i just know it was when i was a kid)
i vividly remember going to the doctor.
my throat hurt really bad.
they had to do a throat culture and i didn't want them to.
i ran around the room crying until eventually i had to be held down my
mom, grandma, and probably a nurse or two.
they finally got what they needed after they pryed my mouth open.
not a good experience.
here i am years later and i have strep again.
but this time i was more willing to let them stick that stupid long stick down my throat.
i've been on meds for over 24 hrs now and am starting to actually feel better.
the fever thing comes and goes but other than that things are starting to get better.
one upside of being sick and not really being able to eat much i have officially lost 20 lbs. since i started my weight loss journey 3 1/2 months ago.
yippeeeeeee!!!!!!
i seriously thought i couldn't do it but i did.
i still have a ways to go before i get to my ultimate weight,
but for now i'll take those 20 lbs and be happy about all the hard work i've done.
jared has lost quite a bit of weight too.
both of us need new clothes because our current ones are really big.
but we don't want to buy new clothes now and then have to buy new ones in a few months after we loose more weight.
such dilemmas

Awww...I'm so sorry about the strep. Ugh...
Way to go on the weight loss, you and Jared! That's big!! Yahooooooo!
sorry you were sick. I am so proud of you! you are amazing. I have only maintained the last month and a half. frustrating. I had to cancel my gym pass. WE couldn't afford it and I had to cut down on something and that was the first to go.. so now I run outside everyday and work out in my house gym ha ha .
keep up the great work..
