A Rocky Week Over Here Weekly Run Down

Thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. My plan to get back on track post holidays quickly became a no go as I was sick most of the week. It was a rocky week over here and I don’t have much to report. Here’s my very short and very inactive week.

A Rocky Week

You know it’s not good when you don’t see any pics at all!

Sunday-mobility class Peloton

Well, I woke up with a fever and sore throat that came on fast and furious. I really never get any cold or flu like viruses and this one is a doozy. I managed a short Peloton mobility class to keep my streak.

Monday-Peloton stretch

We awoke to 8-9 inches of snow and a higher fever. I literally could barely lift my head up for most of the day. My covid test came back negative. I’m guessing I have some sort of flu virus. Yes, I did get the vaccine.

Tuesday-Peloton foam roll 

Oh it was another rocky and rough day over here of mostly lounging around. I still had a fever and now a painful cough as well.

Wednesday- Peloton stretch

My fever is finally gone-yeah. I still feel pretty crappy and have no energy at all. I thought I would maybe try to walk on the tread but just could not muster up the energy. I have never been hit with a virus like this before and I give it zero stars. Do not recommend at all.

Thursday- treadmill walk + core 

I woke up feeling a lot better today thankfully. I just needed to move so I hopped onto my tread in my pj’s and walked for 30 min. It’s a start…It really helped and even shaved my legs and dried my hair. Making progress slowly.

Friday- Peloton walk + upper and lower body strength + core 

I woke up feeling a lot better even if my Oura doesn’t think so. It was time to get moving so that’s what I did. I walked on tread and then did about 30 min of strength with much lighter weights. Feeling pretty good and even made it out of the house to run some errands.

Saturday-Tread walk + upper and lower body strength 

I am finally feeling almost 100% today. It was just time to get back at it and it felt good to run some errands and do some strength work.

I can’t believe how sick I was! While it was definitely not a good week for me, I will be fine. My heart goes out to all those in California.

    I’m so glad you are feeling better. This is a bad quaddemic, as people are calling it. Flu, Covid, RSV, and Norovirus. Plus all the other assorted viruses. Be kind to yourself as you recover. <3

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/12/2025 at 4:03 pm

      I am pretty sure it was some sort of flu despite getting the vaccine. I never get sick and it was pretty bad

    Ugh, so sorry for the icky week, Deborah! I’m glad things turned around in the past couple days. Knock wood, Other than a couple of slight sinus issues, I haven’t really been sick since the last Covid vaccine (and that’s been a few years, LOL). I’m hoping it stays that way. Glad you’re feeling better <3

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/12/2025 at 4:06 pm

      I never get these types of things either and it was pretty rough

  7. Coco says

    Wow, sounds like you were really laid low. Glad you are feeling better now — maybe today’s sunshine will help even more.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/12/2025 at 4:07 pm

      It was rough for sure and I am sad I missed my opportunity to play in the snow

    My husband and son also got really sick, right around Christmas. I guess there’s some bird flu going around??? Not sure what every had, but I’m very glad you’re feeling better now!

    • Jenny says

      01/12/2025 at 11:21 am

      EVERYONE. Not sure what everyone had…

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/12/2025 at 4:07 pm

      Ha definitely not bird flu in humans but a rough one nonetheless

    01/12/2025 at 1:40 pm

    Oh yuck! That sounds like an awful week. I’m glad you are feeling better now. Last time I got sick it was COVID, so knocking on wood I don’t get anything this season! There always seems to be something lurking around. Hope you have a much better week!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/12/2025 at 4:08 pm

  10. Jenn says

    Ick. I’m glad you’re feeling better. There are so many upper respiratory things and viruses going around- it’s hard to keep track. Take care of yourself!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/13/2025 at 5:42 pm

    • Deborah Brooks says

      01/13/2025 at 5:42 pm
