On The Mend

Both girls are on the road to recovery now, thank goodness! I took them back to the Dr yesterday and he gave Paige stronger antibiotics (in tablet form, that have to be dissolved in water first) as well as the Augmentin, Summer is still on the Augmentin as she had a bit of a red ear and is full of snot. He wants to see Paige again on Monday, so another week of Occasional Care will be missed next week, and it was the week Summer was going too but I wont be taking her either. I shall wait till both of them are completely over this bacteria/virus.

Spoke with my Dr yesterday and he said that next year I should vaccinate Paige against the Flu and if the Swine Flu vaccine is developed to get her vaccinated against that since she is in a "high risk" category! I shouldve done it this year but it didnt cross my mind, but definitely next year I will be doing it! I know some people will think its silly to vaccinate a child against the Flu but when you have a kid that is prone to respiratory infections I dont think its a bad idea.

So now the kids are getting better, I can probably throw myself back into the gym again. I went on Wednesday and did some cardio and weight training and I still have a sore chest from doing chest press, but I love feeling sore after a work out, means Ive worked hard, but I havent done any weight training in 3 weeks so my body was a little bit shocked that I had gone with 10kg on the chest press. I even did a little bit of jogging on the treadmill, but Im so out of practice that I only ran for like 2 mins and then just did a very brisk walk up hill.

Tomorrow Im going to tackle Body Attack, and Ill probably pass out as havent done it for a couple of weeks, its so high impact, far worse than Body Combat in my opinion. Oh how I miss Body Combat. I havent done it since Kaz left, and now we are without an instructor yet again cos the one that came in to replace Kaz has gone as she could only help out for a few weeks, so dont know whats gonna happen there. Perhaps they should bring Body Jam back, that was my other fave but it got knocked off the timetable cos not a lot of people were showing up!

Theyre having the launch for the new Les Mills programs in a week or two, may go to the Body Attack/Body Step launch as its on a Monday and may be able to attend that one, wont be able to attend Pump and Combat one though as its on the Tuesday evening. In other news, Im still on my plateau, but its partly my fault as I havent been exercising much due to the kids being sick, hopefully Ill be able to shift this stubborn weight, Im sick of this plateau!
