So far I've had 3 diet sodas...argh, so much for cutting it back. Oh well, by now I've usually had 5 (1 per day) so I guess it's an improvement.

[lobsteriffic]

Okay so I'm not dead.

I went for an awesome hike on the weekend and then I ended up getting sick. Sore throat/cough/etc. Boooo! Getting so frustrated lately. Anyhoo, working at home, taking it easy.

[MaryStella]

sorry to hear that your not feeling well again. that's the worst. hope your back up and running again soon!

[Adena]

Feel better soon!

[lobsteriffic]

thanks!

Still feeling pretty crappy. Hoping I can get back to the gym tomorrow...I haven't even left my house in 4 days!

[vivalasvegans]

what made you sick? the elections?

maybe try doing some gentle restorative yoga? hope you feel good enough for the gym tomorrow!

[lobsteriffic]

oh man, don't even get me started on the election results...it makes my blood boil!

[Rob PMFF]

oh man, don't even get me started on the election results...it makes my blood boil!

What happen?

[lobsteriffic]

well I don't know how much sense this will make if you don't follow Canadian politics....but essentially the biggest douche bag EVER was elected Prime Minister...with a majority government, which means we are stuck with him for 5 years! Good-bye health care and justice system, hello major deficit.

Seriously, look at this guy, I just want to punch him.



Who voted for this idiot???
