Welcome to the New Year!

I’m already sick. No joke.

I made it to a few Krav classes before our break for the holidays. Nik and I did some traveling, so most of our exercise consisted of walking around, but we did do a little fencing and spear throwing. We also spent a lot of time sitting in the car and eating rich foods. For the most part, there’s nothing to report here.

I didn’t feel too hot on New Year’s Day. I assumed that was a side effect from treating my body like an amusement park, but I stayed inside and chilled out nonetheless. On the second, Nik and I made it home from our vacation, and I felt really lousy, but there was a bad storm, so instead of going to the Minute Clinic, I took some cough syrup and slept for 10 hours. This plan didn’t help.

I had to miss my first day back at work, which isn’t nearly as much fun as it sounds. I’m on antibiotics (again) because the doctor thinks this is a secondary infection from the last illness I had. I swear, as soon as it felt like I was getting better (I had a cough long after I stopped the last course of antibiotics), I got worse. This can stop any time now.

Fencing starts up again this week, if I’m not mistaken. It would be wise of me to sit out tonight, but I won’t like it. My yogi moved, and I’m not sure if taking the employee class is best for my schedule, so I’m going to look into attending classes at a studio in town that my friend recommends. We have a Krav seminar coming up this month, and I’m going to help with that. We’ll have regular classes again after that. I’m glad we aren’t having class before the seminar – I’m hoping I’ll get better before it’s time to get back to work.

So I can’t work out, but I can manage my diet, so that’s what I’m doing for now. I’m using MyFitnessPal again, and I’m strongly considering getting a FitBit with my Christmas money.

Other than that, there really isn’t much to report.
