Hey guys!
How is everyone doing? I must say I’m doing pretty darn good today, but yesterday not so much. Yesterday, I felt like I was getting sick. My body just felt weak and achy all over and my sinuses were throbbing. But, I was absolutely determined not to get sick. With plans to head to Colorado this weekend there was no room for illness on the agenda.
A few things I did to prevent sickness:
- Took vitamin C
- Took Echinacea vitamins
- Drank lots of water
- Drank orange juice
- Drank green tea
- Got plenty of rest
Not sure what did the trick, but by this afternoon I was feeling great!I honestly rarely get sick, some people might think I’m crazy for saying this but I attribute my non sickness to the fact that I am not a germa-phobe and that I don’t use hand sanitizer. I believe that because I allow myself to be exposed to some bacteria it strengthens my immune system so that it can better fight against sickness.
It’s not totally related, but I also never get any sort of vaccinations or shots. I actually find it sort of ironic that never in my life have I had a flu shot and never in my life have I had the flu (fingers crossed!).
What do you do to prevent yourself from getting sick?
By the way, I do not think that hand sanitizer, shots, or vaccinations are all-together bad or anything. But, for me personally, because my body is strong and healthy, I don’t think they are necessary.
As a side not, I have decided to only do a full out Thankful Thursday post on the first Thursday of every month and just mention little things I am thankful for on the other Thursday’s.
Today I am thankful for having a 4 1/2 day weekend and for feeling better!
Have a good weekend everyone!

I totally feel the same way about getting sick… My aunt always yells at me for not using hand sanitizer etc and I’m always saying well im never sick so I must be doing something right…
So glad you’re feeling better!!!
I do the EXACT same things whenever I feel something coming on. I eat SO MUCH vitamin C when I’m not feeling good – Dad’s orders!
Have a great long weekend – I’m thankful for it too!
I’m so glad your feeling at least a little better! I prevent by getting lots of sleep every night, taking vitamin C and greens
ah so sorry you are sick- at least ur feeling a littl better, right!! I always stock up on vitamin tablets!
Ahhh i wish i could’ve read this sooner- i got sick about 2 days ago! Nothing big really, but my sinuses are killing me ! I too rarely get sick, but when i di, BOY is it annoying !!!
Hope you’re doing swell!
i do about the same. i don’t use hand sanitizer either!! i was sick a few weeks ago..and i was soo upset..but i think…. you have to get sick sometimes, it’s your body’s way of resting and building even better immunities. glad your feeling better!!!
I hope you had an awesome trip this weekend. I like to eat soup when I’m sick. Even though it probably doesn’t do anything, it’s a good excuse to try a new recipe!
When I’m sick I drink a lot of tea and eat a lot of soup!
