Whenever i set out to do anything worth while irony immediately steps in, and makes things…we’ll helps me apreciate things I normally wouldn’t. I’m having some health problems, but finally decided it was time to see a Dr.
I’m learning more and more about my immune system and how it reacts to stress, sleep, diet, and especially exercise. Something about exercise releasing free-radicals, and loading up on anti-oxidants any time i start a new routine, or increase my intensity…Ok, all the time. Just more reasons to Eat More Veggies.
I figure, i’d rather get that taken care of now then in the middle of the month. Doing my personal best to relax, stretch, drink plenty of fluids, and give this body a chance to get well before blasting it with intense cardio, or weight training. I’ll be doing a very low intensity cardio tomorrow to slowly get back into the grove. Focusing on the positive, which is amazing.
Seriously. I’m listing the symptoms, and such, and the Dr said something on the lines of “Stinks to be you.” I didn’t agree. I’m quite happy to be me, even when I’m sick. There is always something to learn from every experience. I replied to him with something like “It helps to be optimistic.” He was still a great Dr. just trying to be sympathetic.
Either way it’s just more motivation to eat healthy. I’d like to make a tost…

Good for you for listening to your body! That is the most important thing I’ve found. Our bodies are so smart =) Sounds like you’re doing great! Besides the health issues of course… but you are doing the right things to counter that.
