I have been vaguely under the weather for almost two weeks so not motivated to exercise much, though I have done one walk and one Peloton workout during the time when I was feeling a little better. Started with headache and nausea for a few days and then intermittent sore throat and just very draggy/tired. Tested 3x at home for covid, all negative. Since I’m going out of the country in a week, I went to my PCP yesterday figuring if something is wrong that’s fixable, we’ve got a week to fix it! She thinks it could be allergies…said they are seeing really bad allergies this month. I did have some post nasal drip irritation in my throat, and she noticed I sounded a bit hoarse. Anyway, I had a bunch of blood tests including a PCR test and so far, I’m the picture of health! So, maybe allergies? She referred me to an ENT as well because this isn’t the first time I’ve had this sort of unexplained sore/scratchy throat.

Headed to beach house today for about 5 days and have vowed to myself to do my usual 2-3 mile walk every day while we are there, and we have plans to do a couple of easy hikes too. Maybe I just need some salt air?!

I have not been eating particularly well (how come I don’t want to eat veggies when I feel lousy?), but I have been eating a bit less, so I have lost…drumroll please…one pound. Woohoo!
