That Time I Got Hit By A Bus...

Figuratively, not literally. Thank goodness, although I think the latter may have been less painful.
When Emily got sick Sunday night I thought for sure she must have had a touch of food poisoning... she had no fever, felt completely fine, she just couldn't keep anything down. The next day she had a couple of lingering symptoms but was better for the most part. Then Ryan got sick. That threw the food poisoning idea out the window, but at the very least it was a quick-moving bug, whatever it was. And then as I was getting ready for work Wednesday morning I felt nauseous. No, no, no I thought to myself, I could not be getting sick! Mind over matter, I headed to work and sat at my desk going through e-mails. That lasted all of about 30 minutes before I realized I was not making it through that day at work. I'll spare you the details, but suffice it to say Wednesday was spent on the couch all day and night.
Yesterday I woke up feeling better for the most part until I got hit with a migraine. Two days in a row on the couch getting nothing done while being in excruciating pain? Yep, that was my week folks. Now my weekend will be spent trying to catch up on some work, but I'm ok with that as long as I feel close to healthy. This feeling like garbage stuff is for the birds!

One slight upside to being sick? It's pretty dang easy to stay under your calories for the day! I haven't consumed more than 1,000 calories total in the last two days combined. Perhaps it'll be a good kick-off to next week's Weigh-In Wednesday. Speaking of WIW, if you linked up and I haven't yet visited your post, my sincere apologies! I love reading everyone's posts each week but I haven't even had the energy to do that yet this week!

Happy weekend friends... let's hope it's a healthy one!

I hope feel completely better soon. Migraines are the worst, I've had them most of my life but they kick your ass. Have a great healthy weekend!

the only thing I look forward to when sick is the weight loss! I remember being admitted to the hospital once for a few days (stomach issues, never did figure it out) and being on intravenous....being fed next to nothing by mouth. All I could think of was the huge loss this would register (I'm a glass half full kinda gal) I DIDN'T LOSE A POUND! I was so mad.....

Hope you are now on the mend, and have an illness free weekend!

Can I just tell you how much I freaking love the clips you put into your posts?! They are all spot on and absolutely hilarious. Most days I find myself laughing at them alone. Thank you for the almost daily laughs!

That stomach bug is awful! I had a touch of it last week and lost 6 pounds. My kids haven't gotten it yet (knock on wood) but I'm just waiting. I HATE THAT STUFF!! Glad you're feeling a little better! Now I feel like I have a fever, and the achey eyes, and head stuff. Go away sickness!! :) Feel better soon!!

So when I read your title, I was like - no way! My hubs was hit by a bus in college, so I thought it was too random to "know" 2 people that were hit by a bus. He's totally fine, btw :)

Hope you feel 100% soon!
