ANYONE WANT THE FLU?

Early last week I was feeling out of sorts but since I had my flu shots and have not had as much as a cold for the last 6 years I didn't give it too much thought. Well on Friday I really started to feel terrible and developed a very bad cold (what is a good cold?). Being male I lived up to the male code and laid in bed all weekend and moaned & groaned, can't let my fellow man down. My wife asked why men go on so much when they have a cold and woman hardly ever complain, tried to explain to her that the only thing I could think of was men must get a much more serious strain of illinesses than woman do. Can't say for sure that I have convienced her of the truth of that statement, not too sure if I even want to try again. This theory does answer the question she asked but not everyone believes this I am afraid to say.
Well here it is Monday and I lived through the weekend and figure I will be back to my version of normal by mid week.
When I get out I am going to the Med center here in S'side and get my money back for my flu shot as this year it did not work. Someone tried to tell me that the shot was free this year which is only partially true as you had to pay a $8.00 instulation charge to the nurse who admin the shot.
Well I have finished the first month of my exexcise to ship up and lose weight and I will announce the results shortly. I must admit because of my being sick I missed 4 days of walking which I sure could have used. Hopefully I will be back on my feet and walking before the week is out. Now that the cold weather seems to be over I hope to do more walking outdoors, I go down to the waterfront place mall every morning about 6:15 AM when the weather is cold, seems the older I get the more the cold bothers me.
Now for the results.
I lost 3 LBS in Feburary.
I walked 173.4 KM in February.
Now the reasons for the little success I had in February:
(1) I missed 4 days walking due to ilness, I know I could have made 200 KM. I just started walking again in Feb after taking near a year off and wanted to start easy as to keep the aches and pain to a minimun. I plan on doing at least 300 KM a month soon and hopefully more.
(2) I know 3 LBS a month will not get me in the waight watchers hall of fame but I find the faster I lose it the quicker I put it on. Besides I don't do starving well.
Next month I will update you on how I did in March.
Till next time, take care.
