Saturday night, we celebrated Halloween at an adult costume party. You might have guessed from my race outfits, I get into the spirit of dressing up...
I definitely had fun role playing this costume! I splurged on some great food (but still NO candy!) and had my share of tipsy drinks... cold beer, hot rum cider, witch's brew, jello shots...
GOOD TREATS. Luckily I did my long run
before the party, because I was pretty darn lazy come Sunday!
Good times like that always remind me of WHY I don't party much anymore. For one night I let my guard down, and my body always makes me pay. Sure enough... Two days later, I wake up with a head cold, sore throat and all over aches.
BAD TRICK. O'brother... did I mention I have the Indy Monumental Half Marathon in FIVE days?!?
So today, I'm slurping down the
Emergen-C... powder packets that you add to water to make flavored fizzy drinks that are loaded with vitamins, nutrients and electrolytes. Emergen-C always works for me to ward off an oncoming cold. Today, I picked up a new flavor called Cranberry-Pomegranate, which I highly recommend!
As we head into germ-season,
how do manage the colds/sickness in your household? Any great remedies? or preventative measures? I'll send one random comment a sample of Emergen-C.
Happy Halloween!
I was so trying to avoid catching my husband's cold a week or so before my eye surgery... to no avail.
ReplyDeleteBut I talked to my older sister on the phone and she told me about a healing tea she was making for her husband. So I tried it and it really helped.
Grate about 1 Tbs fresh ginger root and put it in 2 cps boiling water with a cut up lemon, and let it steep for several minutes. Then strain into 2 mugs and add a bit of honey. I made this for us both about 3 times that first couple of days. Aweome.
And rest and sleep as much as you can.
Good luck wiht shaking it.
p.s. your costumes look great!
Each time I try the partying thing my body likes to remind me I am not 21 anymore. Friday night I went to a work Halloween party. Two beers and a shot made for a headache Saturday morning. UGH!
ReplyDeleteLove the costume!
Awesome costumes! You make a pretty sexy cop! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. Rest up and you'll feel like a champ for the half!
You two are HAWT! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGet lots of fluids, sleep, and Vit C! You'll kick this thing. Also, I always use a nasal saline rinse (like a netty pot only a bottle), which helps a TON.
Sleep, fluids, good food, Emergen C, and LOTS of hand-washing!
ReplyDeleteWhat's up hottie?! I use lots of Airborne and hand washing....good luck...stay healthy!
