Back from vacation

I went to Eastern Tennessee to visit my Mom and brother for 10 days. My brother is an amazing cook and he invited us for 3 meals. He isn't primal but very kindly, did the research and cooked me amazing primal meals.
From soup, salad and main courses - they were delicious.
Eating with my Mom at the Assisted living place was difficult. I have no idea why they feed the people we call "the inmates" so many starchy carbs. So I ate what I could and would bring salad or carrots and dip for days I couldn't and I had food in the motel room I could cook for breakfast (eggs and sausage) I thought bacon would be too messy.
I purchased some microwavable bowls at the Good Will. I'd put in 1 sausage patty and cook for 1 minute. (covered with the other bowl) Then break in the egg, poke the yolk with my plastic fork and cook about another minute. Amazing!
I missed my hot cocoa with coconut milk, coco powder and coconut oil but that was too expensive to get for short term.
And I was able to keep up with my "lift heavy things" The "closet" in the room, was one of those wire jobs that attach with braces to the wall, making it very sturdy and I could do my 2-leg bench assisted pull-ups. I didn't really have a bench but the bar was much lower than my chin up bar at home and worked pretty well with me standing on the floor with legs in a squat position.
And it's funny, it seems like every time I read the instructions to the exercises, I see something I didn't see before. The pushups say lower my chest to the floor. I think I was lowering my chin before. Man, the chest is harder!
So now I"m back home and today is lift heavy things day again. I must get down there. I'm not acting very motivated. I will get down there though. I promise.
(I've been feeling tired with the time-change and probably a bit depressed from leaving my Mom)
But I'll do it - today.

Colds are no fun!

I'm still hanging in there with my primal workouts - even though this cold is slowing me down. On my last "lift heavy things" day, I only did 2 out of 5 moves before I went to work and was so wiped out at the end of the day, didn't do the rest.

I'm never sure if it's better to rest when you feel sick or whether you should keep pushing. It's kind of like starve a cold and feed a fever - never remembering which is the real one.

Today is my sprint day. Last week, I did stairs because Dave was the one who was out sick. I haven't actually gone for a walk since Thursday - so it may not take much to achieve a sprint. We'll see what I actually do.

I have slept 2 nights in a row for about 12 hours each! That's got to be helping. I wake up feeling my head clearer, but it clogs back up once I get out of bed. Oh well.... I have one more day before I go back to work - I can do this!!!!
