Back to working out as normal. Frustrated that I have slipped backwards as far as I did. then illness took a greater toll on my physical shape than I anticipated. So, I just have to work a little harder to get back on track.
have the big 50 mile ride in a few days. so trying to get back on track with working out, but at the same time, not overdo anything because I don't want to do a 50 miler with sore muscles to start. I'm sure I'll be sore enough the following day.
Very busy day. Im exhausted.
M = drained
E = happy
P = tired
S = I'll get back to that later. total back burner right now. ironic isn't it?

27 May 2008 - Day 65 - Im back.
Ok. Im back on track. Gonna keep this short. but here's the cliff notes version.
went to florida for one week. only worked out once while there but got plenty of riding in so kept active. Eating was moderately in check, but not great. then went to indiana for a week. worked out once. and did a fair amount of manual labor type work moving brother, etc. ran pretty ragged, not good sleep or eating for that week.
the following week. tuesday, I picked up the nastiest virus I've ever had. Fairly certain I was nailed with viral spiral meningitis with a bad case of strep throat on top of that. went to doc, got misdiagnosed with pneumonia, then got really bad, and the Zpak they prescribed made life a livign hell for about 4 days. finally went back to hospital, tons more tests, got penicillin, and two days later started to get a break in the 105 degree fevers. that basically knocked me out of commission until this Saturday. I've never been so sick in all my life.
Over the weekend still took things slowly. Still got physically tired pretty quickly. Monday started feeling more physically back to normal. Did the mountain bike ride down the mountain, which was a little demanding physically, but not much. A good warm up to get back into the routine.
Tonight I rode 20 miles on the road bike. Felt GREAT! so good to be back in the routine. I still plan to continue the 12 week thing to the end, then I'll probably carry on a couple more weeks to get the full 12 out of the program. Then I'll always continue to work out but I will probably change it up a little to get a more noticeable result.
Looking forward to getting back on track with the meditation, and morning core exercises.
Oh yeah, this weekend, Im still planning to do the 50 mile diabetes ride. After today's 20 miler, Im convinced that I will be fine for the 50 mile race, even after being so sick, I think being in as good of shape as I was in totally helped me recuperate and is what is allowing me the ability to hop right back on the bike and do a ride like that with out having to restart training all over again.
Plus the ride is a benefit ride and I've raised a decent amount of cash, so there is just no way I'm letting a diversion of a nasty virus get in my way. minor hurdle. no big deal.
Out of the 4 test subjects on the transformation program. only one remains strong. well, remains period, but she's not just remaining, she is hanging in there so strong, an inspiration to me, actually. I should be inspiring her, and I think the tables have switched at times and I find myself being inspired by her. So even though the other 3 dropped off, I am just ecstatic that this one has done so well with everything.
M = overwhelmed. trying to catch back up
E = Happy, very happy.
P = So much better. I feel wonderful. It's good to be healthy
S = hmmm, no friggin idea.
