I'm here...and I have a question!

I know it's been a long time since I have posted. I have been crazy busy with family, work, and some friends! This year has started off on a very sick note! I work on January 1st with one nasty sore throat, so I went to the doctor the next day and was diagnosed with strep. I was put on anti-biotics. That cleared up and then my glands started swelling...to the point that talking hurt, breathing was difficult, and I was miserable. I mean, I could feel the blasted things, they were getting big and hard. Not a friendly! So I went back to the doctor and was put on a steroid. Don't worry, I didn't start growing a beard or a hairy chest! But it cleared up my glands...only to find out that steriods reduce your bodies defences. I got sick again. My throat started hurting agian, my nose was runny and stuffy at the same time. I was miserable...and to boot my voice was going out. I could barely teach. My voice sounded like I was going through puberty! So after about a month and a half I got better! Things are starting to look up now! I do not want to go through that again! I need to take care of myself, aye! Now I wish spring was here so I could get out and go walking. My goal is to go walking to help me get in shape. I also want to work on my eating habbits...turn them into good eating habbits! So I am posing a question to y'all. What do you do to keep in shape and what do you do to keep eathing healthy? I need some new strategies. I am really struggling and need to make this a good year for me! Happy March and may the Luck of the Irish always be with ye! Okay so my computer is acting up and it won't let me add pictures...so use our imagination and pretentd I posted a dancing leprechaun that had a rainbow over his head! And a sign that says "Happy St. Patrick's Day!"
