Feeling SO much better...

Seems it only took about 14 hours to really clear my system, and I'm feeling pretty good now. My honey went and got me raspberry and chocolate sorbets (Haagen-Dazs of course) last night when I needed somthing to eat but couldn't fathom chewing anything. It was perfect. I'd never tried the chocolate before... but DAYUM, that is some good stuff! I never thought of Portland as a valley of disease before, but since Joelle mentioned it in the comments I'm going to have to consider it. I always figured that since I have two kids under the age of 6 I'm bound to get just about anything and everything that comes around anyway... and while colds don't bother me much GI bugs are a BITCH to deal with and still try to be a parent at the same time. UGH... it didn't happen yesterday, I don't think I left my room until about 4:30pm.

So here I am... slowly starting to eat more solid foods today... starting with a banana and some saltines this morning. I expect I'll polish off that chocolate sorbet unless Mike gets to it first (heh!). I weighed myself when I started to get sick yesterday just to see what the dammage would be (dehydration wise) and I lost a total of 4lbs of fluid in one day... that SUCKS. Today will be rehydration focused for sure.

I feel good enough to say that I'll be back to the gym tomorrow... today I will take it VERY VERY easy to ensure that happens.
