being sick is no bueno...

[Smilee21]

Getting sick doesn't mean our mommy duties get put on pause.

My only time to relax is when I am at the gym training and my son is playing with his friends in Child Care at the gym.

When I am sick, I just want to stay home and cuddle up in my blankets and not move from there until I am better. But I don't get to do that as a Single mom raising my son by myself. This is when I wish his daddy lived closer. I feel horrible right now.

Ahhh the life of a single mom...

I hear ya! That's why I took the week off lifting. My throat is really sore and my body is just exhausted. I curled up with the girls and we all watched Tangled (my fave) this afternoon. I think I dozed a bit, which I needed. Got a good fire going and the snow is falling and we just relaxed.

Take time off from the gym if you are sick. We don't have cable or anything, just a dvd player and tv, so I don't feel bad when we have TV days to help me through the sick days. Does your son have a fave movie or like to just play Leggos on the floor while you rest?

Hope you feel better soon!

We don't have Cable either, we are not home enough to justify paying for it. We do 30-45 minutes of movie time each night right before bed. He likes MMA movies actually, he is quite funny, he is currently watching Never Back Down over and over again.

My throat hurts really bad too, one reason I am not running right now. (Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun are my running days...) I have been drinking hot tea and honey, it helps for a little bit. I work at a desk all day at work so the gym is the only time I get to move around and be active (it's only 2 hours of my day) I will be taking it very easy this week, but will still get a little bit of a workout in, as long as my asthma doesn't bother me while training I should be good.

I hope you feel better too...

Feeling sick is no bueno for sure !
I've been struggling with back pain for a few days now, I have 2 herniated disks & when I aggreviate them it's bad..
I hate it !!!! I have to be in bed literally for most of the day, It's not too bad now where I need to be in bed the whole day, but it's bad enough where I can't do my workout, or hold my 4 year old...
I'm not a fan of pain killers, hate to feel drugged, I'm considering surgery, doing some research.
I still can do most things I do for them, but anything physical I have to have my husband do, cause it hurts like crazy.

What I do is similar to Mt, I watch movies with my girls too when I can't do physical activities with them, we all get in my king size bed & snuggle & eat some popcorn.

I could only imagine how hard it must be to be a single mom.

Hope u feel better soon

I am sorry your back is bothering you...praying for a speedy recovery if you do decide to get surgery. My son knows I am not feeling well, he is only 5yrs old but is a very independent and a very responsible little boy, he tries to help me out the best he can. (except when he is hungry or tired- then he is super cranky). We will come home from the gym and cuddle and watch a little bit of a movie and then crawl into bed. It's just him and I so he has taken over the left side of my queen size bed. He has his 15 babies and 4 big pillows separating us. He refuses to sleep in his own bed BC he is scared of the dark and his bedroom is upstairs while mine is downstairs.

But this weekend I am moving into one of the spare bedrooms upstairs, I need my own private space again and I will be closer to his bedroom so he can stay in his own bed. LOL

I have been in a lot of pain myself and just started to see my Chiropractor again to help correct some issues I have with my neck and back... early signs of arthritis...

It will be a costly maintance program, a little over 3k I had to pay up front for 72 visits. But correcting the problem is needed, I too do not take pain medicines, i deal with the pain, however sometimes it is just too much to bare.
