I Can Do This On My Own

I think this will be my first blog without a picture. I just can't think of anything good. And I don't have much motivation to look for one, sorry.

Ok, so let's recap on what's been happening. It's been a pretty eventful past week! Thursday was Fat Daddy's with Sam, Friday was McVey's farewell party, Saturday was the CPAT, Sunday morning I did Kickboxing and the elliptical with Caitlin, then worked that night. At work, my right shoulder was really sore, and I was kinda confused why. I really didn't feel like I strained it during kickboxing. The class was mostly light punching and light weights. I thought it could've been from the CPAT too. That vest will seriously make you sore!

Monday morning I got home from work and was feeling ok, went to sleep cuz I had to work that night, and then woke up at 3:00pm to workout. When I got up, I did not feel good. My whole body was sore, my throat was sore, and I just felt weird. I decided I was not going to workout and went back to sleep till 4:45pm. When I woke up again, I still felt the same. I ate, took a shower and got ready for work. I really didn't even think I was getting sick. Just thought I was super sore.

On my way in to work, I gradually just felt worse and worse. I was hot, tired, light headed, just miserable!!! I knew I wouldn't last long at work! I got there and immediately sat down. I sat there just thinking how long I could tough it out. Not long! I went to talk to Allison and she made me take my temperature lol. It was 100.8! Ughhh. I showed the Charge Nurse and she said "Go home." lol. So I left work... at 8:15pm.

Fast forward to today, and I'm still sick!! My temp has been between 99.5 and 101.1. I've been waking up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, but then I get too cold when I take the covers off. It sucks!! I thought I was starting to feel a little better today, but when I went to heat up my soup, I almost threw up. I felt so nauseous! I dunno what happened, but my face turned completely pale and I just felt so sick. It sucked.

Anyways, enough about me being sick! In other news, I've decided on a new challenge. Since I'm not doing the biggest loser again, I decided to not weigh myself for a month. Yes, a whole month! It's gonna be really tough, but I think it will be good for me! That way I'm not constantly worrying about what I weigh. It's good for me to have that there, to keep me disciplined, but I need to learn how to live this lifestyle on my own, without certain things keeping me in check. Plus, it'll be exciting if I see a really big loss!

Ugh... I'm having a hot flash as we speak. This sucks:( I don't wanna go through menopause if this is what it feels like!

So the next weigh in you'll get from me will be on 11/5/11! That doesn't mean I won't update in between now and then, in case you were wondering:) Unless I'm really busy or something. Which could be true actually, I have a lot of stuff to do this month! Fun things though!!:)

I know everyone says you can't get the flu from the flu shot, but I'm still skeptical. What do you all think? I got it one week, then got sick the next week. Could it really just be a coincidence? Hmmm...

Alrighty... time to lay on the couch and sulk the rest of the day. I really hope I feel better soon! It's so hard not being able to work out!! I feel so guilty when I don't exercise:( *cries*

Thanks for reading:)
