I did a couple of Jessica Smith strength workouts at the beginning of the week, WS1 Total Body, and S&C 31 Minute Total Body.
Then I came down with a cold on Thursday. I just got over the last one two weeks ago. I guess it's being over 60 and around kids all the time. I rarely got sick in the past, but I've had three colds since December.
Fortunately, this one is pretty mild. I've been using the sinus flushing squeeze bottle. Neti pots don't work as well for me. I use it twice a day and it's really helped, cut down on the congestion and severity. I'm planning on continuing it for twice a week in the future, to see if that cuts down on the colds. I hate doing it, but it works. It also relieves my allergies.
Katie and Vannie, my test last May showed my cholesterol to be slightly high. They told me to walk more, well I walk a lot now at the school! I wasn't exercising back then, that's when I had the chronic mouth pain. My glucose was normal in the urine test, but slightly high in the blood test. I eat very healthy during the day, I take fruits and vegetables to the school. No sugar, it makes me sleepy when I commute on the highway. But when I get home, I've been bad with the sweets. With my cold this week, I cut out all desserts and candy. I'm hoping that will cut down on the colds, and lower my cholesterol and blood sugar.
I did notice that after a few days I no longer craved sugary food. I think if you can stick it out for a bit, it gets easier.
