First though - I hope everyone who is doing the Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge had a great start. I was pretty bummed that I started this challenge at urgent care, but I managed to get in 7.5 points today and I'm very happy about it! I almost felt like I shouldn't count them because it was a pretty lackluster day, but I did manage to get in all my fruits/veggies and my doctor ordered stretches and then went out for a brisk 2 mile dog walk and then when the codeine kicked in, I did P90X stretching video. Unfortunately the codeine is not sitting well with me and really hasn't seemed to do much for my throat pain. I mostly feel like I'm going to puke very soon. BUT>>>if it hadn't been for the challenge starting today, I would have done ZERO of the above, so I'm proud of myself and I'm counting those points!
The last time I felt this bad and had a negative strep, I ended up having mono. That was not a good experience...at all. Can you get mono more than once?

I know how you feel. Codeine is not my friend either. I hope everyone feels better soon.
Get feeling better! I just found your blog and I am loving it:) I think you can get mono more than once.
I hope it's not mono! Yuck! But way to go getting your points in! It's going to be so hard for me to get in the veggies. I need to go read the rules again.
Hey Julie! I'm so sorry you still have this crud! I hope you guy's get over it soon.
Good job on getting in your points still today! I decided to join because I want to stay in shape over the holidays because I have that race coming up in Feb. I'm not sure on all the rules, do you know if you have to put in your points daily or weekly? Jeremiah and I ran a really hard 5K turkey trot yesterday, I feel like it should have been worth 10 points, lol. And I only ate 5 veggies and fruits. But I don't know why I'm telling you all this, I should go write it on my blog, ha ha!
Your blog is really growing, it's one of my favorites ;) I wish I was witty like you! My blog is b-0-r-i-n-g, but I still like to do it and I do it for me so I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll pray that your feeling better by your next post!
Patrick, I lowered the dose a wee bit the second time and either it sat with me better or I slept through the nausea. I'll try again today...'cause now I'm coughing.
Jen and Abby - Here are the rules (and Abby...I think you just have to keep track weekly)
1 Point per mile (run/walk/snowshoe)
1 Point per 3 miles biked
1 Point per 20 minutes of weight lifting, Pilates, yoga, stretching or abs
1 Point per 15 minutes of another form of cardio (i.e. kick boxing, aerobics elliptical)
1 Per day where you reach a minimum of 7 servings of fruits and veggies
Challenge will run from Nov 20 to Jan 7…this helps to cover you for the major holidays!
Additional points: Because I am all about taking care of your entire mind, body, soul connection there will be additional posts/questions where you can earn points throughout the challenge.
ABBY!! Your blog is NOT boring. You are my inspiration! You're in such awesome healthy shape and you're doing the job I want to be doing and you're such a great mom! Keep inspiring me!!
