UGH... SICK. AGAIN?
Posted: Sunday, July 22, 2007
Before I go into my latest tirade about how I loathe being ill, I'll preface it by stating that I have never taken better care of myself physcially than I do now.
- I don't drink (anymore. I was a real lush for a while there)
- I work out constantly ... 3 days with a trainer, 3 days without, and one day off
- I consume upwards of 33 vitamins daily (11 vitamins, 3x daily)
- I eat oatmeal, egg whites, chicken, sweet potatoes, turkey meatloaf, vegetables, and diet soda mostly. Every so often I slip, but for the most part, I stick to that boring ass regimen
So how did I get sick...AGAIN?
If I had to guess, it's another case of me running myself ragged all week (planning birthday parties and such, working every night until 11pm, and not sleeping enough), and weakening my resistance to whatever bug landed itself in my system. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap Crap.
Friday after work, I crawled into bed at 12:30pm, and woke up just in time to go to the gym. I got back from the gym at 4:45, and after wolfing down my 3rd set of vitamins for the day, crawled back into bed. I didn't wake up until 7am on Saturday, with every bone in my body aching. Saturday was a total wash. Worked a little, but slept on and off all day, trying to acommodate the dog, who was constantly asking to be entertained. God bless the makers of the oversized Kong toys.
This morning, I woke up feeling a little better, so I hauled ass to the gym and did about an hour of cardio. After I got homme and scarfed down about 11 egg whites, I felt the enegry leak out of my body, almost all at once. I managed to get a few things around the house done, but I can barely keep my eyes open, and I have a pile of work to get to.
On top of it, I am a miserable sick person. I'm a grump. I'm whiny, and all I want to do is just shut the blinds and turn off the world until I feel better enough to get back into my routine. This is not, however, what God has planned for me today, because my father has announced that he will be coming over this afternoon, and he'll expect to chit-chat. Admittedly, I haven't seen the guy in over a month, but I would hope that my tone while speaking to him earlier would have dissuaded him from traveling to see me. No such luck. Oh well, maybe I can puke on the floor in front of him and convince him that I'm not up for socializing.
Nappy time again. Man, am I a whiny little baby when I'm sick.
