It’s official. I am plagued with a wedding curse.
As you may remember, I was throwing up like it was cool two days before our wedding and awoke with a pink and crusty eye the day before Ryan and I exchanged our vows.
Apparently weddings have quite the effect on me and my health because after Ryan and I went to sleep last night, I awoke every two hours to spend some quality time in the bathroom.
Not so fun.
I really thought my sick feeling from Thursday was on the mend, but I don’t plan on moving from our big comfy hotel bed for quite some time in hopes of making it to the wedding tonight.
Don’t you love my meds to my left?
Ryan ran to CVS this morning to pick me up some Pepto Bismol and Imodium to hopefully make me feel better.
(Wanna know something strange? I love Pepto Bismol. I think it tastes delicious and have joked with my family that they should make Pepto flavored ice cream. I’m sick.)
While Ryan was out, he also swung by Starbucks and bought me a bowl of their oatmeal since we figured that would be really easy on my stomach and I clearly needed to eat something.
I added all of the toppings (brown sugar, dried fruit and nuts) and ate the whole thing… which I’m really hoping wasn’t a huge mistake.
I’ll check back in later. For now I have a hot date with The Parent Trap on ABC Family. I sure wish I was out exploring Ft. Myers right now. Our hotel is in such an adorable area and the sun is shining brightly.
Crossing my fingers for a quick turn around…
P.S. The Fashion page was updated last night.

They DO make an ice cream that has a Pepto-y taste! Have you ever heard of teaberry flavor? Hershey’s makes a great one (scroll down): http://bit.ly/enT6iT. I love this stuff.

Feel better, Julie! How funny (not that your sick)…the fact that my girlfriends and I have a date night tonight to snuggle up and watch the Parent Trap 🙂 Try NOT to get that fabulous soundtrack stuck in your head…(love it!)

Jenny (Fit Girl Foodie) says
I hope you get better! I think pepto tastes good too 🙂
Elizabeth says
Oh no!! Feel better!! I had a bug like that last week and it was NO bueno but pepto and water helped so much. I also had kombucha for the first time and it really seemed to help. It’s kind of fizzy so it helps your tummy and it has a bunch of probiotics!
Feel better soon!!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Aww dang, sorry you’re feeling so aweful. Get better soon! Definitely can’t say I’m a fan pf pepto. Although I used to take it so much (I’d get reallly airsick) that the taste didn’t bother me so much after a few years.
Sherri says
You look amazing for a sicky (and in general!)! Hope you feel better and making it to the wedding 🙂
PS: Thanks for being such an inspiration! PBfingers keeps me motivated and on-track with eating great food and runnin’ my heart out! And I’m trying a BodyPump class for the first time this week. Ahhhh I’m scared!

Missy says
Maybe you should have put the pepto on your oats…that would be a first!

Christine @ Merf In Progress says
I really really (really) hate Pepto Bismol. I was so happy when they came out with the caplet kind so I didn’t have to drink that nasty pink stuff anymorE!
RoseRunner says
That is officially the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. Pepto-bismal tastes good!?!?
Wanna know what? there is this ice-cream shop in Los Angeles that is realllly popular for it’s delicious and CREATIVE ice cream flavors, and they take recommendations from customers. They have made a NICOTINE flavored ice cream from crushed nicorette gum. I bet you anything they would go for pepto bismal if you suggested it!
I hope you feel better 🙁 was it that nutty fish?
Alaina says
What an awesome husband.

Leanne@Coffee&Claptrap says

Hope you feel better soon Lady 🙂
Got to say I lurve Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal and have all the toppings on too, one or two toppings? NO WAY, give me the lot 😉
Lindsay says
Hope you feel better! Funny thing is… I LOVE the taste of Peptol, too!! WHen I was little, I called it “Pepto Bismo.” 🙂
Allison @ Happy Tales says
My goodness, you really haven’t had much luck with weddings and health… so sorry to hear that you were sick!!! And I think that’s really funny about the pepto! I’m not sure if I’ve ever had it? At least, if I have I don’t remember!
