Still Icky

Yesterday I went to hula practice and only danced the three routines twice.

I was not feeling well.

I came home, ate dinner, fed the twins, put them to bed, and went to bed myself.

But before I hit my pillow, I remembered a weird thing I was told to do by different people when you  have a cough.

I got my big jar of Vicks Vaporub and slathered it on the soles of my feet.

I put some socks on, so I wouldn't ruin my sheets.

My feet felt sticky and greasy.

Weirdly enough I woke up feeling a little better.

I don't know if this Vicks thing really works.

Supposedly, there's some proof out there in England that says it does, but they don't know why.

I still have an itchy throat, but it doesn't seem as bad as the past two days.

This morning I had my two multigrain pieces of toast smeared with 1 TBS of honey.

I think the honey is making my throat feel better.

It's purely glucose and fructose, so it should give me the energy I need to run my 5 miles today.

Yes, I probably have no business running today.

It's okay. I can do this. It's only about an hour.

I also drank this 1 oz. packet of Kyani juice.

It's supposedly vitamins made with wild Alaskan blueberries.

A friend of mine who I met through my hula class sells this stuff.

She swears by it. I was hesitant to drink it because I'm on all sorts of meds, but

I thought I would give it a try.

She said it would make me feel better.

I guess we'll see about that.

I weigh myself tomorrow, and let me just say that if I haven't lost weight this week,

I'd be shocked.

I've been eating well.

I've been running.

I would have done hula about 2-3 hours 5 days this week.

My body hurts.
