My Bad Habits Have Finally Caught Up With Me

For the last three or four months I had been eating like crap, sleeping less than six hours a night (school and work), consuming more coffee, sweets and alcohol than usual and pretty much doing everything that a doctor would tell you not to do in order to live healthy.  The only positive things I had been doing was running and lifting.    

Well, all that caught up to me on Friday night.  Friday afternoon I was feeling a little under the radar but I already had plans for the evening with a gorgeous girl I met about a week ago so I decided to suck it up.  The night started with a visit to The Barrymore where we had a couple of drinks and dinner.  The Barrymore was amazing, it was my first time there and I was I amazed with the food.  It was delicious.  I was feeling a little under the radar but still kept going. Our plan was to watch Gone Girl but luckily for me we didn’t get there on time so we watched Fury instead.  I watched Gone Girl with my dad and brother when it first came out so Fury was the best pick for me 😀  Fury was a good movie, I give it a solid 8. I would watch it again…   We were supposed to meet up with some of her friends at a local bar but I decided to be a party pooper and went home.  I’d had enough and just wanted to sleep until I felt better.  Sadly for me that wasn’t going to happen. My body had other plans for the night.  

I had the worst night of my life.   Had the worst headache and stomachache ever.  I wanted to drive my almost dead self to the nearest quick care but I didn’t have the energy or the will to get up.  I stayed in bed all night suffering and regretting not taking care of myself.  The next day I stayed in my bed the whole day and tried to sleep so I didn’t have to deal with the horrible headache but that didn’t work.  I slept about three hours the whole day.  The headache and stomachache went away on Sunday and since then I have been feeling better day after day.  Still feel like I don’t have the vitality required to perform physical or mental activities. So as a result, this whole week at school and work has been dragging.  Can’t wait for things to get back to normal. Even though I know that I’m strong when it comes to many of the negative things that life throws at me, I still act like a baby when it comes to being sick.  

 

Kicking A Nasty Bug Out Of My Body

Woke up this morning still feeling under the radar.  The cramps are gone so that’s always good. I’m not super hot for not apparent reason anymore and hopefully I will be like new tomorrow morning.  Every Wednesday at five in the morning, I meet up with the running group at a nearby track.  I wasn’t planing on going but my internal clock woke me up at four in the morning, so I decided to go.  Back when I used to run in college, I never missed a practice. There was no way any of my teammates would allow anyone to miss practice. Being sick would be the last excuse to skip a run. Going out for a long run or a speed workout was the cure to any sickness.  I remember coach always said “push through it, sweat it out, if you have to puke, puke.  Let all that crap out of your body”.  I will never forget those words.  It worked back in the day, so I don’t see why it won’t this time.

My buddy Jacob picked me up at 4:30 am and there was no turning back.  It just felt right. Surprisingly I din’t feel sick at all while running. Thank God I din’t have to puke in front of everyone 🙂  Had my first good workout since I joined the running club. It was the perfect way to start my day.  I’m pretty exited that all the hard work is paying off.  I might never be in the shape that I once was, but progress is progress.  I still feel a little sick but not as bad as yesterday.  I should be able to go to work today so that’s a plus. I would hate to call in sick but if I do, I hope my manager pictures me just like the picture bellow.  hahaha Take care everybody!

Food Poisoning

Woke up this morning feeling like a dead dog.  Chances are that I got food poisoning because I got all of the symptoms.  It sucks, my whole body hurts and I just want to die for a little until it’s all over.  I have the AC running at 68° and I’m still hot.  I’m just going to crawl back under the covers and not come out until tomorrow.  Thankfully today is my day off at work.  Will be missing a day of school so that sucks a little.   Have a nice day and be careful what you eat.
