Keepin' On

Weigh In: 318.5
5-Day: 319.1

Well, this cold/flu thing doesn't want to let go of me. I hate being sick, yet it seems I'm always catching what's in the air.

Still, I see yesterday as a small victory. We needed a new wireless adapter for our desktop, and Becky was gone with a friend. Being sick, the temptation was to sit on the couch and cough until Becky got home, then I could drive over to Office Max and get one.

Instead, I got my sick butt up, took a shower, got dressed, and walked over to Office Max. Now, before anybody starts patting me on my back, it's MAYBE 2/3 of a mile round trip. So, it's not like I got in some amazing work out.

Even so, by the time I got over there, I was weak and sweating. Then walking back, and climbing up three flights of stairs about killed me. I had to stop several times and take a deep breath or two. And the rest of the day, I was pretty much prone on the couch coughing a lung up.

But the victory is in the fact that I did it. The old me would have sat here all day watching TV while completely healthy. The old me was lazy. The new me is not.
