Ah those are definitely some fun facts!
I love it more every day! It pumps so much blood into those upper body muscles that you look like the hulk before even touching a weight. Big fan of that.
Aw shucks. That’s super awesome of you!
You have a really fun and self-deprecating way of looking at things! I’ll have to check out that book.

Thank you. It has been a work in progress. First, I had to become mortal… 
On the improv thing- life can be a comedy or a tragedy. Its all in how we respond.

That’s a good way of thinking about it. 
Coincidentally, in the video I posted above, the speaker says something similar: “It’s not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality.”

I like that. Cuz my brain works pretty good. Its like a Lamborghini. But my mind is like both feet on the brakes sometimes.

After using the seated rope pull cardio thingie, it is good gym etiquette to remind everyone around you that “You wouldn’t want to make me angry”. (Or “hangry”, as the case may be.)

HA! That’s awesome.
I was sick for over a week last month and for some reason it gave me the impression that I wouldn’t be getting sick any time soon. But here we are. This one’s not a sinus infection, but a throat-chest thing that started Monday night.
And I think it’s on the way out. I mainly just feel lethargic and hoarse, so I’m antsy to get back in the gym. What’s wild is that the husband never catches my junk. Chris could breathe the same air coming out of my face holes at night and still wake up feeling great.
This is important:

The plague set in for me on Monday night too. Just BRUTAL body aches, chest/throaty yuckness, nausea, chills, and SO MUCH TIREDNESS. I went to bed at 7:15 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night and yet, still tired… Here we are on Saturday, feeling somewhat better. I went to the gym this morning and that’s pretty much all I did all day because - still tired. All this to say, I feel ya, girlfriend. Sending hugs and get well prayers!

Brave girl! You got a workout while fighting it off? Amazing. And I’m so sorry you’ve been going through all that. Hopefully you’re feeling better today and able to start the week with more good workouts.
When I logged last time, I thought this junk was on the way out, but nope. I just medicated away the symptoms. They came back full force, so I’ve been taking it easy. I refer to this as tuberculosis-pleurisy-lung-cancer because that’s more intriguing than the common cold.

Not really - it had been a full week since I was at the gym because I was out of town last weekend. And what I did yesterday and today, is what we’re calling “token workouts”. lol. Now my nose is like a fire hydrant. SO MUCH SNOT!!
UGH!! Keep resting and get better soon!!! I’ll be praying for your healing!
And I’ve been telling people I’ve got Ebola. Gotta love the reactions… I mean if we have to be sick, we might as well have fun with it, right?

I want a token workout but there’s so much snot in my head that I got dizzy just going to Target to buy a couple Christmas cards. So that was my workout today. I’ll do some house cleaning later and call it cardio. What the crap did we catch?! This is ridiculous.
Will do, and thank you! I’ve been praying for your healing too!
I’m stealing that. Too funny! My ebola moved from chest/throat to sinuses/head. So last night I put a heating pad on my pillow and tried to get at least one half of my face on it. It felt good but my sinuses are so blocked up and congested, that I’m craving heat in that area.
So here’s what I just ordered:
I will be sleeping in the guest room for a while so that my dogs and husband don’t have to witness this. Pretty excited though.

You ever use a nettie pot? Sometimes i break out one of those in times of need.

Of course, you could always claim to have consumption, the vapours or dropsy. If you want to get all Scrabble-happy, you could even claim to have “phthisis”. Just don’t ask me if you are pronouncing that properly.

Yes! I used one on Sunday and went two rounds using the packets of that saline stuff, but then right afterwards my sinuses closed back up. Super miserable day. Felt like there was cement in my face.
I should’ve used the nettie pot when I felt it coming on.
