I woke up with a morning sore throat and didn't want to get out of bed. I forced myself to go to the sportsplex for a walk on the treadmill with incline and then a 50 minute swim work out with hard core athletic friends. By the time I got on the treadmill the sore throat was gone and I felt better all day.
This is my pattern in the winter, so it must be starting. The low grade cold/ scratchy throat that doesn't turn into anything. I feel fine most of the day. Here's what I need to do:
1 Drink lots of water
2 Take vitamins (plus extra vitamin C and air raiders)
3 Get plenty of rest
4. Stay warm- going from inside to outside It is during the change of seasons that it effects me most.
5. Stop eating over it. I think I need to eat to feel better. That is my M.O. I could never remember if it was "starve a cold and feed a fever" or the other way so I always ate.
So I will bundle up while helping out at church to collect parking money for the Men's UNC Basketball game tonight, I will take my vitamin C and air raiders, I will go to bed early and drink lots of water to stay healthy. I won't over eat about feeling a little under the weather.
