Tried the foot pod in a spinning class to see if I can get the cadence - doesn't work. I didn't expect it to. Everything I read seem to indicated that you need a 'running (impact) motion'

First 'serious' workout since the flu. I got thru the spinning class, but had to take water every a couple of minutes - a tickle in the throat causing me to cough.

Took it easy, but heartrate was good, even though perceived effort was low.

I'm down to taking just 1 nap today.

I know... a rather funny way to measure progress. :P

Should be well enough to get back into my routines by tomorrow.

Still have not recovered from the flu yet. But it's getting better every day.

Feeling tired, chills and a mild headache. I can still get around, clean up the house, play with my gears etc., but seems to end up taking 3 naps (about 1/2 hour each) a day.

I have been able to catching up on a lot of movies on my watch-list. :)

On Thu. Jan 16. I caught another cold. :(

This one hit me fast and hard. I was working on some drywall and vinyl tiles downtown, on the way home I started getting a cough. By Thursday evening, or in about 4 hours: the cough -> headache -> fever -> achy body. Tylenol helped, but was very tired and I slept for 24 hours. By Saturday, I was able to stay up long enough to just watch a movie, then back to sleep. I couldn't eat anything because everything tasted like saw dust. The best I can do was to drink fluids and chocolate milk. I had a craving for salty stuff - so potato chips were on the menu. :-)

This morning, I'm better. I say about 75%

I was in bed for about 44 of the last 48 hours. My body is feeling achy (probably for being in bed for so long). I lost 5 pounds (141), but my fat % is the same (11.5%).

My stomach was hurting this morning. I took me a while a realize that was the feeling of being hungry. I ate something Chinese noodles and seem to have settle it.
