Being sick sucks!

May 29, 2010

I got a sinus infection and have been sick for over a week.  I didn't exercise for over a week because of it and I think it's contributing to me suddenly having the worst head hunger!  I have been munching too much for about the last four days.  Mostly I have made better choices of what to much than I would previously have done but sitting at home (I've been out of work... it's really hard to teach when you don't feel well and have no voice) for some reason... suddenly my iron will has left me.  
I was doing so well!  I'm not mad so much as disappointed in losing the umph I had since the surgery.  It's only been almost two months and already I'm slipping into bad habits.  Normally I last longer when I do it on my own.  Today I forced myself to do some yoga in order to still exercise without breathing too hard because it makes me cough a lot.  It was not as much exercise as I like to do, but I"m hoping it jump starts my "will power" as I was experiencing before.  I think maybe the exercise is helpful in making sure I use up calories of course but also to get out my extra energy from any anxieties I have.  

I also moved while I was sick, and so my life has been a little in disarray.  While there is still much to do, the real chaos is over.  I need to go grocery shopping so I can stop eating out and start cooking for myself and my man.  I know it will make a big difference for both of us.  On the list... grocery shopping tomorrow... and at least more yoga if I can't do more. 

On the brightest side, I feel better today than I have in over a week now... I can breathe a little better and whatever was still in my head seems to be gone.  Now it's just coughing... even my voice is starting to come back (I sense it will be back soon! Watch out my darling students!!).
