Have you noticed I have been gone lately?
Why is that you ask..well I have been on and off sick for 3 weeks!!
Your probably wondering how a person can be sick for 3 weeks if they eat healthy and take care of themselves. I was wondering the same thing too. I was reminded that sometimes our bodies just need to get sick and there is no rhyme or reason for it. I also think that the body naturally detoxes in the fall so I think I was battling die-off as well.
Time to get moving
I’m crossing my fingers I am better for good (well at least for some time more then 2 days). I woke up this morning motivated and hungry! I have not been hungry in the past 2 weeks, so this is a good sign. I woke up refreshed and actually looking forward to starting a new day that doesn’t include detox baths, naps, reading (that is all I feel like doing when I’m sick-blogging just hurts my head!), spoonfuls of FCLO, and 4 cups of bone broth 🙂 Im also looking forward to taking a run again (I love running!).
Catch up time
