Sick....again...

Well, as the title says, im sick again. What is going on??? Everything I am doing to boost my immunity is just NOT working!

So a quick recap, we went out to BC to see Phils family, it was a brutally long drive out there and an even longer one back. We left the puppies in a kennel in Strathmore and missed them so much! I took a 2.5 hour private ski lesson at Apex and made it UP the chair lift (I am terrified of heights) and down a huge run! So proud of myself.  I started feeling ill at Apex and have not  been better since :(

New Years Eve was nice, we just picked up the puppies and spent the night enjoying our little family. We watched movies and both hockey games and I STAYED AWAKE!! Wooohooo!!

On the 2nd we went to a Flames Game. My Dad had given us his tickets and they were AMAZING! In the lower bowl club seats! We were so close to the players and even had our own server! Phil quite enjoyed the experience.

The 3rd was pretty much spent sleeping...I felt like I had been hit by a bus, any amount of standing made me feel like I was going to pass out. Nothing got done but sleep. Oh well....obviously thats what my body needed.

Yesterday was our first day back to real life. Boy was it rough getting back into the swing of things! But the day got better and Phil even picked me up after so I didnt have to worry about the train :) Then I found out I had not one, but THREE parcels delivered!! WOOHOO! It was like Christmas all over at my house!!

The first box was from Integrative Nutrition and was my winter welcome package! AMAZING!! I got raw chocolate, vegan raw chocolate sauce, gluten free dairy free blueberry maple muffin mix, a shopping bag, two books (That were on my xmas wishlist!!) a workout dvd, calendar and so much more!

The next box was full of samples from Amazing Grass. I ordered them and cant wait to try them!! I am actually snacking on the chocolate peanut butter protein bar right now....delish!

The third box was also from Integrative Nutrition and was my textbooks and more gifts! A magnet, bookmark, stress ball in the shape of a heart, two tote bags, a bunch of textbooks, dvds and a hot water bottle!

Seriously! So much stuff! I was so excited!!!!! BEST DAY EVER!! I brought my new calendar to work today, its all mantras and good positive thoughts for everyday of the year.  Today's is "Today I just show up and flow through the day." Wow, that is how I feel today for sure! Unfortunately I missed my first swim lesson last night due to a massive coughing fit, and had no sleep since I was up coughing all night so flowing through the day is just what I need to do today!

I also want to make this year more positive, I know this post doesnt sound like it, but its something I want to work on, so this month I am going to eliminate "I dont want to, didnt want to, and wont" from my vocabulary. I want this year to be of joy and if I make the effort I know Life will match it.
