Katy Tried...
Katy tried
I was halfway crucified
I was on the other side of no tomorrow
You walked in
And my life began again...
All night long we would sing that stupid song
And every word we sang I knew was true
Are you with me, Dr. Wu?
Are you really just a shadow of the man that I once new
Are you crazy, are you high?
Or just an ordinary guy?
Have you done all you can do?
Are you with me Dr. Wu?
The other day my best friend was on the phone with a colleague and said, "Are you with me, Dr. Wu?" I had never heard him quote Steely Dan in casual conversation.
To say that I am under the weather would be an understatement. I am about to go back to bed. I am running a fever. I am fairly sure I have the flu. It's hit us very bad here, and my CR being uh not CR, I have lost my fanatical immune system. Ugh. Motivation in spades. I hate being ill.
Danny C apparently is feeling sick as well. He'd better get over it.
Luckily, the CR perfect MR will not get sick no matter what. I want my CR back! It's hard but who cares, I will do anything to get back that zinging feeling where my entire body is alive, more alive than I ever thought possible pre-CR.
I've been hungry lately, no doubt as a result of my workouts and building hungry muscle. My body fat precentage is dropping, so I am clearly losing fat. I love working out. I want to teach Pilates.
I have to go back to bed. Hopefully will feel better soon.

Sorry to hear that nasty flu bug got to you. I already felt its evil bite on Christmas day. It was kind of like getting a lump of coal in my stocking - and here I thought I'd been such a good girl.
I'd tell you to take good care of yourself but I'm sure you're already doing that. Soup is good. Also hot tea. And plenty of time just resting in bed.
I hope you feel better soon!

I'm sure you'll be feeling better soon enough ;)
The flu is going around here too, it's been exceptionally bad this year with colds, flu and stomach bugs affecting many people in work, family and friends.
I thought I was coming down with the flu the other day. I felt a little bit of irritation in my chest, a dry cough, and throat felt a little weird. It came on a couple days ago after being in contact with my uncle who had the flu. Luckily it didn't turn into full blown flu and went away within a few hours.
Sip some green tea and get well soon :)

Beautiful hard-working April!
GET WELL SOON! You know I haven't been sick in over 8 years (I'm a big like MR with my immune system - it's pretty tough now due to my CR) -- but this week I've been taking that airborne stuff like mad because I feel a bit of a scratchy throat. SO hang in there! It is going around everywhere it seems.
On another note - I LOVE your post about how SWEET food tastes if you WAIT to eat and can make it through the hunger pangs. I have to admit, at the end of the day (I eat the majority of my calories at dinner) for the last hour or so before dinner I sometimes want to "climb the walls" with hunger - but then when I eat -- HEAVEN!!! ABSOLUTE HEAVEN! My taste buds are so "alive" and sharp when I'm hungry (unlike most Americans who have NO IDEA what hunger feels like).
hope you are well soon -- oh, and do sign me up for your Pilates class :-)

One additional post -- and it's a question that is not connected to any of your entries April - but I was wondering if you or anyone knew what happened to Emi's blog (the gal that was recovering from anorexia via CR) -- it seems she has discontinued her blog and I just hope she is ok. If anyone knows anything it would be nice to know she is ok.
thanks-
Irit
