Flu
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
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
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.
This is exactly why I love her! Be sure to give my amazing, motivated girlfriend a follow and be sure to encourage her!

Veggies for our 3 day detox!
I’m in day one and feel like death.
Destination: St. Joseph
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!

I’m not a marathon person, but this looks rather fascinating!
