I’ve been feeling less than great the last couple of days. On Friday I started getting dizzy and that got worse on Saturday and combined with nauseau. I’ve never really had dizzy spells before and it freaked me out that when I would stand up I’d end up right back down where I started. Ah. I figured out it was because of low iron and I’m pretty much anemic, so I started to fix it by taking my vitamins and eating iron-rich foods. Self-diagnosis for the win?
By Sunday afternoon the dizziness had all but disappeared, just to be replaced by a terrible headache. I assumed it was from dehydration but I’m not totally sure. I went to bed at 8:30 pm last night because I knew my body needed rest. I woke up around midnight and felt miserable and unable to go back to sleep. I threw up two hours later then went to sleep again to wake up two hours after that and throw up again! Gross! So I have no idea what is going on inside my body. I don’t think I have the flu and I already feel better today, just weak. So I’m not exercising or doing much of anything besides resting my body. Rest, rest, rest.
This all makes me sad not because I’m sick but because I want to go exercise and make my last two weeks here totally awesome! I hate having setbacks or getting sick, but it is just part of life I suppose. Things always come at the worst possible time. Nothing goes by your schedule usually. So it is and so I’m dealing with it. It’s all good. In a few days I will be good as new and back into hardcore workout mode.
Speaking of good (and things coming down), have you seen this weight loss update? A lot of us have goals to lose 20, 50, even a 100 pounds. We think it is hard work and it is. But can we imagine losing 250 pounds? HALF OUR BODY WEIGHT? On our own? I can’t. But Kepa has done it, so go give him a congrats or two. That would make me feel much better than getting comments about getting better soon. I will get better and I’ll let you know when I’m back in good shape. So go check out Kepa’s HALF THE MAN post and leave some congrats!
