Day 17 of 84

Body for Life Challenge

Monday afternoon my work labtop simply stopped working. I started feeling sick to my stomach as I called technical support and started the process of getting it fixed. Little did I know that by the end of the evening I would be sick in bed.

I was not able to go to the gym Tuesday morning, the first time I have ever missed the gym do to illness. I had been able to sleep but I was so drained I simply could not make it. I though that if I felt better throughout the day I would get to the gym in the evening. Tuesday night I did make myself work on mowing the yard, but I had to stop. I did not go to the gym.

This morning I had a dentist appointment at 7AM. I thought about getting to the gym by 5, dentist by 7 and then rushing to work. When I woke up I still felt so bad so I skipped the gym. The dental appointment turned into 2 hours and 10 minutes in the chair and instead of one new crown, I am going to need two. Somehow decay had started under one of my crowns. In order to get to it the Dentist had to take out the crown next to it. This was on the last two teeth in the back, on top. Bottom line, it turned into a much bigger job than he planned. I had to have a lot of extra pain medication during the procedure. When I walked out of the office about 9:15 I was already whipped for the day.

Got to work, still without my laptop, having to use an old computer that did not have everything I needed on it, mouth hurting and stomach upset.

Damm, I sound like a little girl but I think this is a case of everything just hitting me at once.

I still need to work on the yard tonight. I don’t really feel like doing that, much less going to the gym to try to make up workouts. This has really screwed my workouts up. This has not happened since I started my workouts last October.

At least my eating has been ok. In fact, I have probably lost some weight because I have not been able to eat.

What is a baby boomer?
People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.
