Tuesday, Jun 10 2014 - The Universe Is Always Testing Me
View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
Today is trainer Tuesday! Yesterday morning my allergies started up and because I had nothing else with me so I took a Benadryl
just one
but it left me groggy and feeling like a massive fog had rolled into my head. After work I skipped the gym (obviously), went home and slept for almost three hours then made dinner because I had to meet my caloric goals. Today is better but Im starting to feel like something is looming, waiting to pull the rug out from under me.
I get sick so easy since my illness in 2007, it took me out for 8 months and my immune system has never recovered. I can be taken down quickly and why I have become so germ phobic. I have a slight headache and I can feel a little pressure in my sinuses
I hope its just allergies!!!
Tonight is trainer Tuesday, I can only imagine the things my trainer Elle has dreamed up for me today
she definitely pushes me and keeps it interesting. I hope I have enough strength later to get through the whole session with the same amount of determination I usually do; she really works me. Im actually a little nervous about being in the gym right now, all the germs, and not being sure if this is allergies or if Im fighting something. I clean the equipment before and after each use but I cant afford to get sick again.
It seems every time I recommit to changing to a healthy lifestyle something happens within the first month that throws a wrench in it. Its usually sickness, injuring my ankles or other areas and why I hired a trainer in the first place, to prevent me from injuring myself. As it is now, Im dealing with a broken blister on my toe from a Relay for Life walk I did a few weeks ago and then irritated it again this Sunday pushing my grandson in the stroller for an hour. Im sure Im being ridiculous about the germs but I cant shake the fear of getting that sick again.
It just seems like the universe is testing me to see how badly I want this, to see if I am going to persevere
I WILL
I WILL NOT GIVE UP AGAIN!
You may need to fight a battle more than once to win it.
