The Past 2 Weeks...

I have had an interesting past two weeks. Everything was fine and normal up until last Wednesday - 2/11. Workouts were great. I was continuing to hit PR's! I got my Deadlift Max up to 305 - if I can clear 315, that will officially be twice my body weight.

Then Wednesday night I started feeling a little sluggish and had a scratchy feeling on the back of my throat. When I woke up on Thursday, I was feeling rough. I had a meeting from 12-4 and I could barely make it through that. I was hot, nose leaking, and just felt BAD. So bad, I used 8 of my 460 hours of Sick Time I have accumulated (you can see how rare it is for me to get sick since I have over 11 weeks worth of SICK TIME).

I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the couch. I can't remember when I was this bad.

Monday was better. My voice sounds all stuffy and 'sick' but physically I feel fine.

Today - I will be back into my routines.

Man that was rough. I think my defenses were down because I was trying to stay up late in the evenings and still get up at 4am... basically, not enough sleep. My diet and exercise are GREAT, so I will now make sure my sleep matches that commitment.
