Walk the blog

I think I MAY be or AM the only person on the PLANET who can gain weight when she gets sick. Here's why: When I get sick I sleep. It's about ALL I do. I don't eat. That's the truth. I might have a bowl or soup or two bowls of soup. Not kidding. Nor am I exaggerating. But what happens is that my metabolism slows down SO much that it is almost in a coma. So then no matter what I eat it doesn't burn off. And if I don't eat at all ... my metabolism seems to screech to a halt before hitting a brick wall and I STILL don't lose weight. If I eat ... at all ... even if I just eat a bowl of soup a day I gain weight. I GAIN WEIGHT!

So just before getting sick I had lost a pound. I was THRILLED with having lost a pound. I had been hovering at the same weight for two months so I was really thrilled with a pound. Now ... I'm up from there 2 and a half. Can you believe that crap? Can ... you ... be ... lieve ... it?

Since I'm feeling a little bit better I'm gonna get on the treadmill today for 20 minutes at a slow, regular walk. I have to try to jump start my metabolism and I don't have any other kinda jumper cables. Ya know? If that works then the muscle building plan will begin tomorrow. You think I'm lying because I keep SAYING I'm gonna do muscle building but it never seems to happen. Right? I'VE BEEN SICK! Man. Have you no compassion? I'm gonna do that dreaded muscle building. I will. I don't make empty promises. I just procrastinate and/or get sick. What can ya do?

But seriously. MonaVie, happy thoughts, jump start the metabolism and muscle build. I stand by all that. I stand by it. I'm tired. I need a nap.
