My cold is finally starting to leave my body, thank God. Although, I have to wonder if coughing up a lung counts as cardio. I mean, my abs actually hurt from the coughing. And, I have drank more water than normal because of it too.

It’s birthday week here at the house. My husband’s bday was yesterday and our son’s bday was today. Two days of cupcakes. I only had one yesterday and one today though. Not the two or three I’d normally snarf (yes, that is too a word! It means to “swallow in such huge quantities you barf “; hence, snarf) down. But the scale didn’t like it. Or the pizza I had. Two slices, but still, not cool.

However, I’ve got to think all the snot I’m blowing out every hour accounts for some of the weight. Right? I’m pretty sure I read that snot is heavier than fat. Definitely heavier than the cupcakes. Maybe I can skip Pilates (or, as I have taken to calling it, “Elephilates”) this week if I continue to hack and blow. The Hack and Blow! I think I’ve stumbled upon a new fitness craze. It will make me a lot of money which I will then use to hire a trainer, personal chef and get some plastic surgery.

A sound plan, if I do say so myself.
