Carrying On

Flu

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 18:10:55 -0600

The fever is crazy.

What I thought to be a cold that turned into the flu has almost departed from me. At least I’m able to type on a computer. Compared to earlier today; that wouldn’t have happened.

I’m thinking that I’ll be ready for work tomorrow, but I’m not holding my breath on the subject. I’m not to whole food yet, still on Sprite and sweating like one crazy mother.

Here’s to hoping the fever breaks soon!

Sick Day

Sun, 03 Mar 2013 16:47:47 -0600

So…

Here I am…

In bed…

At 4:30 in the afternoon.

I’m sick. I felt it a few days ago, pushed through work and hit the weekend. Yesterday, with a sore throat, no voice, and some draining I spent the day running around the area with my parents and girlfriend. It was a day removed from ‘life’ if you will.

Then I woke up today.

Death.

I feel awful. I sent a text to my girlfriend telling her I wouldn’t be at church this morning, popped some Ny-Quil and was out again. I woke up around 12:00 and had some lunch [two chicken, cheese, mustard, and whole grain wheat bread sandwiches], and again went to sleep. Four hours passed by like it was five minutes. I woke up in the late afternoon and I noticed the most unique aspect of being sick; my appetite.

I have been eating my weight in food. Realistically it feels like I have had food in days. I’ve torn through our apples, yogurt, cereal, rice, lemons, chicken, bread, and peanut butter so far today. My stomach is still growling, and I plan on wiping out the rest of the produce within the apartment.

I’m just hoping I’ll be ready to go tomorrow for work.

Juiced

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 19:33:46 -0600

Alright, so I tried the juicing detox program that my girlfriend insisted that we try.

We officially started this morning.

We officially ended this afternoon.

Detox or not, between the horrible taste [no surprise] and the complete lack of energy this is a huge no go in my book of health and fitness. Thankfully, and more importantly, my girlfriend agrees. We still enjoy the random juicer that was purchased on a whim last night, but not for mixing carrots, green peppers, cucumbers, and sweet potatoes together.

I told her; in hopes of slight motivation, that one can lose weight just by eating out less, trimming back on some bleached sugar, and actively working on…regularly.

Juicing need not apply.

I have been super nervous about putting these up but since this is my personal blog I decided to go for it. These photos were taken today. Tomorrow I begin a juicing 3 day detox which is going to kick start a change in my boyfriend and I’s diet. I am excited to get started because I know it has many health benefits.

Plus, we tried one tonight and it was delish! Here is where I got the recipes.

So…my day just got jacked…

We have another snow storm coming in tonight. Meaning, that the Subway’s I work on are already shutting up for the next two days (6”-14”). I wasn’t aware of that when I got to my final store in Kansas City.

It was closed. Due to this closure my 100 mile trip was done in vain. Additionally, I still have two more shops to hit. However, that requires me to go north 100 miles…tonight.

What this means:
My concept of the gym today just got kicked out the door. I’m still eating just fine, water and all.
The reason the gym is a no-go is due to it closing by the time I return; likely to be closed tomorrow due to the storm as well.

To resolve this I’m taking a pit-stop at my apartment. I’m going to take in some much needed core work, shower, and head up north to finish work.

Monday...bleh...

Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:34:31 -0600

On the road, heading to work. Made a few adjustments today:
Got breakfast in this morning. Cereal, milk, and a banana.
Because I travel for work I packed a container of home made trail mix to munch on between stores.
Most importantly: I do have my coffee, but I also have a water bottle with me. Brita filter bottle. Easily the number one thing I need to improve is water consumption.

Looking forward to killing the gym in a few hours.

Destination: St. Joseph

Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:19:24 -0600

I went with my girlfriend to the gym today…

It was closed due to the obnoxious amount of snow we received…yesterday [the streets are currently clear].

So, on the way back home, after being bottomed out by being ready to get a good workout in; we made a impromptu stop.

Downtown St. Joseph

This area is older than Kansas City, and has a ton of OLD historic buildings and nearly no traffic. So, in the snow drifts and partially cleared sidewalks we took off running from the car…alright…jogging…ok…somewhat walking…

Regardless, we did do something today [though she nearly froze to death in the process].

It opened up a new realm to me though; during the weekend this section of the city is locked up and quiet [all government buildings]. Perhaps running along the streets I’d been trying on around my apartment wasn’t the right way after all; maybe my success lies downtown.

ALSO!

My girlfriend is on Tumblr now and needs your support; you can find her HERE!
