Turning the corner?

I do believe I am taking in full breaths of air! I attempted a slow trot this morning and seemed to handle it ok. Then again, I was going at a snails pace. The route that normally takes me an easy 40 min, 20 min to this bridge and back....took me about an hour...in the heat. So I think things are looking up. I got my shift at work covered for today since I had no idea how I would feel and I'm glad I did. A several hour nap with the AC on seems to be in order and then we'll see about crashing the 6pm class tonight. If not, I'm definitely going to try to make class in the morning. I can't be sick a full week. I've turned into a marsh-mellow. And in all honesty, that really is what is bothering me.

You see, it's hot. Let me re-phrase that, it's stupidly hot. Hot in the no-way-you-can-wear-workout-pants-and-a-t-shirt hot. Hot like cellulite baring shorts and tummy and back flab baring sports bra hot. Hot as in, oh-crap-eating-like a-linebacker-who's -PMS'ing-while-sick-and-not-working-out is going to end badly hot. Hot as in basically summer has arrived with a vengeance and I'm not ready for it. Crap.

Oh well, at least I know I won't die from jogging and now it's back to veggies and meat and off of the poor-me-I'm-sick foods that have done me no favours to speak of. Today's goals are simple. Chug water, not beer, and get in some good clean meals and a giant nap. That, I can do :-)

Sick Sick Sick

What day of the challenge am I on? Coming around the home bend...and I'm SICK! What!?!?! Last Firday I was on top of the world. Nailing the WOD's, even went to the gym again for a double and got a good swim in. Nutrition was on the mark and had cooked all my food for the next 3 days I was going to spend @ work for my holiday weekend. Then Saturday a sore throat popped up, Sunday it hit, and this beautiful Wed morning I find myself coughing up some nice pretty mouthfulls of green. Tasty. Needless to say, when I feel like crap the last thing I care about is the quality of my nutrition. In fact, when feeling less than swell, something tasty is quite nice. Oh, yea, it was bad.

But I do think I'm on the mend. The worst I think was over the weekend @ work. (yes, I worked, try calling out sick on a holiday weekend, it's not a good idea) My lungs seem to be cleaning themselves out just fine and I hope and pray that I can do Crossfit on Friday. I miss it. My body doesn't remember what sore feels like and my calluses are sloughing off leaving my hands looking...well, normal. But it worries me for the next time I'm on the bars for pull-ups.

I know I'm way behind now on my weight goals and really, I'm still spacy enough from the cold medicine that I'm not panicking yet. I'm sure when I'm 100% I'll have a good freak out moment, but for now I'm excited that I can at least hear out of one ear and I'm out of bed by noon. Oh the little things.

As a follow up to the last blog, I'm still going to do nursing school, but I also am going to start training again. Just a little, just a few. But I think it's time to get back into that game. Short blog today, when I'm all better I'll be back to ramble some more.
