Her Post- The Ultimate Tool To Stay In Shape: A Nursing Degree

Life has been a rollercoaster in the past few days. The house would have looked better if a tornado sweeped it out. Our neighbours are doing some renos and there’s dust even in our food. On top of that, seems like we’re taking turns on being sick. After my stomach bug two weeks ago (Find Out Why), C. came home the other day with a nasty cold.


Fever was way over the normal levels and he began to talk incoherently. He mumbled something about paper work for a big grocery chain. I always joke and say that he can’t cheat on me cause he's a sleep talker!

Want some chesse with that whine? Puppy face.

He told me I'm a pretty good nurse. Let just say that being a nurse it's not my dream job, except moments like these. I was literally racing back and forth between a demolished kitchen and a sick husband. Nursing feels like being on a hamster wheel…You’re spinning on and on.

Now we all know nurses don't diet! They earn every single bite of dessert!

Although I didn’t manage to squeeze in a decent workout, my legs are two jelly beans and I’m ready to raise the red flag. I m thinking of getting a nursing degree and quit all my workouts cause after a day like this, nursing school resonates in my mind with BOOT CAMP.


When was the last time YOU had to nurse somebody? Yes, stories related to diapers are allowed. (I can already feel the smell)

Her Post- Can I have some cheese with this whine?

I m sick. That s it. That s all I have to say to you. Now, put that basket of goodies on my night table and let me sleep ( like I have been doing in the last 24 hours) ! Don t take me serious..I m just rambling due to fever.

                                                     Thank God I have someone to hold my hand !

Maybe my luck went of the window or maybe I have a course on me, but I can swear the past 2 days were pure hell. I could barely stand on my feet and went to school only for a couple of hours. I had no appetite and no strength for even a light workout. Going to the bathroom and back to bed feel like an supernatural effort. Today however, my body started to recover a little bit.

A few things work very well when I catch a cold and I want to share them.


1. Brush your teeth . It may not seem a lot, but trust me on this one. Millions of germs are hanging out in your throat and mouth so by cleaning your teeth they ll fall over their backs like a set of ninepins. Further more, I recently found that this easy peasy habit can cut heart disease risk. Who ever said that simple things make major changes was certainly right!

                                                       A fresh breath and a strog heart!

2. Stick to the yellow-green zone. Yogurt and cream cheese is all I have been eating these days. BUT greens and lemons are really my friends when I m feeling like a squash tomato. I had some peas and salad and I have been drinking lemonade as if we re running out of water.

3. Vinegar. Your pantry is a hidden drug store . The smell can cut my nose in half,but I m willing to suck it up and soak myself in vinegar if that will lose up my fever. Cosmin gave me a hard massage with vinegar and then fold me in blankets, to keep warm. I sat there like a mexican wrap for more than an hour and felt ten time better after. My husband loves me, but he I think he had no trouble rubbing my back, pulling and pushing my skin, giving me little back punches as he massage me!

      I sure know he loves me

The list is longer than that but I can t type anymore. Next time when you ll nave runny nose, a headache and you ll feel like a mushy porridge, please make sure to upgrade it!

What works best when you catch a cold? Do you prefer drugs or home made remedies will do the trick?
