Rain, Rain...go away

I can hear the rain making tiny dents in the roof above me.

The rain is both beautiful and tormenting. It is essential to life, yet, who wants to go out in it and get soaked. Especially when it is FREEZING out!!! I enjoy a rainy day if I can relax and get things done at home, but go out in it forget it!

I think if it's truly cold out, I would prefer the snow. You don't get soaked in the snow as much as you would in torrential down pours, which it is doing right now. The forecast for this weekend is wet, wet...and wetter, cold, cold...and colder. It's just a reminder that the winter is approaching.

I just received a wonderful gift from a friend of mine. It's a book called "Love Dare" and is a 40 day journal and action-dare book on how to act, react and treat your spouse. I'm only on day two. I have never heard of this book until now, but I highly recommend it to anyone who is married. It teaches you the bases of love and kindness and challenges you to hold your tongue when things are not the way you want them to be.

Today I am teaching English all day. I feel a slight cold being combated by the two R's=rest and reliv. My nutrition shake keeps me in good health while I have a broken down weak immune system. Working with pre school children, who's immune systems are very weak is a tough challenge for a broken immune system in an adult. I have not fully been sick as of yet, however, I am extremely lucky and smart about what I chose to put in my body.

Yesterday was a not so good day, a path of self destruction. I know I am a trainer, and need to eat well, yet I am realistic. I don't always eat the best, as I was raised in an italian restaraunt and at one point we served ice cream. Not to mention that a doughnut shop that we started was right next door...

So this was the menu yesterday, and I have used up my one bad day for the week: breakfast sandwich, 2 slices of pizza, icecream two tacos, and a banana...way bad. This morning I felt terrible, as though I was not winning the battle to fight these germs. I woke up early today and prepared my meal plan of a spinach egg white wrap, tuna sandwich, salad, banana, kiwi, apple, three nutrition shakes and a green tea on the way to school. I don't feel great, but it's going to take at least 24 hours before I let go of half the toxins I put in yesterday. So wish me luck, I am still beating the odds of not getting sick from the pre schoolers germs!

To all, have a happy and healthy day, bundle up and if you eat bad, only allow yourself one day a week.

Your friend in health,
