OK, I surrender, I was wrong, I DO have the flu!

Affectionately called in my work circles - "The Teachers Curse"!  You hold yourself together until the end of term, then the first week of the school holidays, you start to relax, let go and realize just how exhausted you are!!  And BANG down goes the immune system and in hop the virus's.  So I sure picked a great week to start my big detox!!  Arrr! Anyone wanna make me some chicken soup???  On the positive side, I don't think I could feel much worse than I do today.  Was up all night shivering and sweating with a pounding head and muscle aches like I'd just completed a training session with the Commando! The fever has continued all today, so my appetite is being affected by my flu now, it's still there, but only just. More important to keep up my fluids - I was just craving salty popcorn, so my son made me a small bowl with some yummy butter and herb salt.  Just the thing for a body that has sweated for 20 hours!

 As this is a blog set up to record my progress going sugar free, and now that I've gone and been hit by the flu, I will not be blogging again until Monday night. I'm still mentally up. I'm still feeling so good and excited about giving up sugar and caffeine and wheat!!  My body is going to thank me big time eventually!

  So just cause I'm sick, I'm not going to sneak some lemonade in or anything!  Actually, I had some lovely lemon tea with some glucose syrup an hour ago and really enjoyed the subtle sweetness after living on Stevia powder in my tea.
  Ok, got to lie my throbbing head down again.  For anyone else out there who is going through their own detox, I hope you're feeling OK, empowered and positive and have your eyes set firmly on the sugar free future and all the good that is going to come out of it!!  
Cheers, everyone and I'll chat again after the weekend!!
