Tuesday

My pretty girl in her Easter dress!

Violet and I were both sick this past weekend so I was unable to do any yoga or exercise as I had planned.  I did OK with food and drink though.  We missed a special Easter breakfast with my mum and sisters - which made me cry - but I was kind of glad in a way too, to take care of my sick girl at home.  It is satisfying to care for her that way.  I am crossing my fingers that she will stay illness free for a while now.  Not being exposed to all these germs over the years is definitely catching up with her now.

Although I haven't jumped ship completely, I have had more than my fair share of sweet treats lately.  Candy and desserts are NOT on my healthy foods list.  Between Easter goodies and my own regular chocolate stash, there are homemade maple candies and yummy cookies in the kitchen right now.  I can't resist.  Yikes! I wonder if all of this sugar this past week is what let my flu in - I am well aware that sugar weakens the immune system.  I better watch it.

When I feel my energy come back I will get right back on my regime.  I miss my jumping jacks.  The flu kicked my butt and made me realize again that Mommies do NOT get sick days!
