Comments for I guess I run now http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof Just another 3fatchicks.com weblog, don't ya know? Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:50:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 Comment on Boot camp & a bug by feathers http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/2008/11/17/boot-camp-a-bug/#comment-483 feathers Wed, 19 Nov 2008 07:47:53 +0000 http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/bigprof/?p=188#comment-483 hee hee man, I just love it that you got strength from the PT guy's weakness. Shows how damn' fit you are. As for cold remedies…h'm. I take hot showers. Seriously. I take sometimes 3 or 4 in the day and I make em as hot as I can stand. Maybe it's just because all that steam makes it easier for me to breathe, I don't know, but they do make me feel better. That and drugs. I go for anything with pseudephedrine in it. I know it's not the friendliest drug in the world, but my theory is that I'm going to have the cold for a week anyway, so I might as well treat the symptoms and at least feel better while I'm still sick hee hee

Personally, I love the Aleve cold and sinus. You only have to take 1 and it lasts for 12 hours. As far as boot camp, how awesome that the guy training to be a PT had a tough time. You are an inspiration! And, if you're still feeling sick on Wednesday you can teach my classes and I'll go to San Antonio. I speak Spanish so it would be fun for me to go there again :) I have heard miracles about Zicam but haven’t used it. Personally, I love the Aleve cold and sinus.

Also zinc--make sure you take it with food. Put a little Vicks under your nose and a warm moist cloth over your face and just BREATHE....I add a heating pad on low on my face and do this for about 10 min in the lazyboy. Chicken soup and some of the superfoods---blueberries, spinach, etc. Good luck!!! FRESH PINEAPPLE….didn’t believe it till I tried it but it works great on cold sympt.

And you did it better than the younger intern. GO BIGPROF!! I have used the Zicam getupnow is reffering too, but it dries me out big time. Usually, I am a martyr and suffer through.

(I do about 3000 mg a day, but only then). No toxicity risk, you pee out the extra. I also have these mysterious chinese herb pills that my mother gets from her doctor (a western-medicine doctor who is VERY smart and believes in taking the best of modern plus traditional alternative approaches). I have no idea what's in them but they are magic. They taste horrible (i call them the crazy bitter chinese pills) but if you have a chinatown near you I can try to write down the name from my bottle. You won't find them in a regular health food store... Oh, and another thing that works is REST... always hard to comply with that... feel better soon I believe in high-dose vitamin C for a few days at the beginning of a cold.

I love San Antonio. I generally detest Texas (after living in Houston for seven or eight years), but I do love San Antonio and Austin. Safe journey. Hope you feel better. I’m sorry that you’re sick.

Or desperate. Or both. Also, I am not big on vitamins but I take vitamin C every day. And look at you! I am in awe of you and I would say that, yes, you DID rock it! I know what you mean. Once we were running and saw the reserves out and I sure did pull my shoulders back and hold my head high when I saw some of them looking like I used to when I ran. It put a little pep in my step. ;-) It may be too late, but I use “zicam at the first sign of a cold” like the commercial says because I am just that gullible. Or desperate. Or both.

Sorry you had to get some work done, though Eryn and I did regress into discussion of our love for all things juvenile like teenage vampire books. I'm excited about making it a regular thing. I love the "face time" with you chicks. Thanks for setting it up.
