Day three of feeling like a bucket of crud. or four... I've lost track. My tremendous energy level has dropped below zero and I'm starting to get peeved. I guess I hadn't calculated being sick into this project equation. I'm staying pretty good with the food choices but the exercise has gone to hell in a hand basket. Like so many other things in life I know I just need to ride this wave out and all will be well again. The positive spin I choose here is that these feelings haven't derailed me.
I read a friend's blog who's travelling the same path and tonight she talked about being in control. I think this is a huge issue for alot of us. Right now I'm suffering a bit of a disconnect cuz I don't feel in control of my energy levels but I certainly have more control than I did a month ago. Control vs. willpower. I think the control gives me the willpower, not the other way around. The control gives me the motivation and keeps me on track.
I'm so peeved about being sick I purchased something I've never tried before... green tea. Honestly I NEVER drink tea, but it wasn't too horrifying and I understand it's full of all sorts of goodness. Alright green tea... hook a sister up :)
hope you start feeling better soon :)
ReplyDeleteI made myself drink the decaf version of green tea for all its benefits, and began to really like it. Of course, I like tea to begin with.
ReplyDeleteFeel better, tiny perfect blogger.
I hate how illness feels like it's controlling you but you are in control of the choices you're making to get through the cold/flue (taking care of your body, resting, drinking green tea, etc.) so you do have some control.
ReplyDeleteIt's impressive that you're making good food choices while feeling crappy. That's an accomplishment.
Oh, and Mint Green Tea helps the flavour be better and I just learned it tastes better if you steep in in non-boiling water (more like 100f) who knew?
Sending healthy vibes!
