Shhhh and Listen Silly
I have been sick for the past 6 days. Yes. Sick. As in snot, puking, fevers, coughs, dishrag limbs....sick. I am not proud of the fact that I let myself get so run down. I do take full responsibility though. I felt it coming on about mid week last week and I ignored it. I chose to ignore it and keep pushing my bod to function. I deprived it of the proper rest. I didn’t eat right and I didn’t even juice or partake in my wheat grass consumption. The result? One sick Queenie.
I am not telling you this so you can feel bad for me. I am over it. For the most part. I am telling you this, so that you might learn from my mistakes. There is one reason that I got sick: My immune system was shot. It’s the only reason that we catch colds and viruses. So, reading this, how do you keep your immune system up to par? It’s easy...eat a great diet of fresh fruits, veggies and lean proteins, consume lots of water on a regular basis, get plenty of fresh air and quality sleep. This is also the only way that you will get over sickies when they do find you.
I am not even thinking of weight loss this week. I am thinking of getting myself back up to snuff. Wednesday was the first day that I made it an entire day without having to take a nap in order to continue functioning. If I had listened to my body when it started feeling crappy 6 days ago, I wouldn’t be writing this post. I haven’t exercised. I have barely gotten out of bed. Heh. I am frustrated with myself for ignoring when my bod screamed at me. Lesson learned. Hard, long, tiring lesson learned.
