Recovering from the Stomach Bug

Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was all about getting back in the swing of things after being down with the stomach bug on Sunday. The sickness lasted less than 24 hours, thankfully.

Even though my eating wasn’t completely back to normal yesterday I still tracked what I ate and worked on getting a gallon of water in. Hydration is always important but especially after having a stomach bug!

My husband got me a Bai water to help with my hydration, which was so sweet of him! Bai waters are great for hydration but they are a little too sweet for my taste. I still love them! I just pour half of the Bai water into a cup and add equal parts water. By doing this I essentially get two drinks in one, and they aren’t as sweet this way!

I mostly snacked throughout the day on crackers and bread because I knew that my stomach could handle it. My first real, balanced meal was dinner last night and I was so happy to be eating good food again.

I didn’t go for a walk yesterday since my energy was still low, but I hope to start incorporating walks into my days again sometime this week! I’ve noticed all I need is 15 minutes of walking in the afternoon and it gives me a wonderful second wind to get me through the day!

With April being one week away, I am starting to think of what goals and actions I want to prioritize for the month. I do believe walking will be something I prioritize more in the month of April. I wasn’t completely consistent with my walking in March, but I did it often enough to know how much better I feel when I complete a walk and I know it’s something I want to keep doing in April!
