I hate being sick

Sadly, I've been sick the past few days. The main sickness started Monday morning. My alarm went off, and my nose was so stuffed up that it was useless for respiration. To add to the problem, my throat was sore and dry. I sent a text saying that I wouldn't be able to work out that day, since breathing was "a bit of a chore." Of course, I had forgotten that when I'm sick, it tends to be worst when I first wake up, and I was feeling pretty much okay by the start of my first class. However, I had left my workout gear at home, so I couldn't (easily) just go and work out anyway. The rest of the day was fairly normal.

Tuesday started off well, and only got bad in my last class. When that class started, I developed a splitting headache. My brain wasn't working, so during the halfway break (it's a two-hour class) I simply got up and went home. When I got back, I told my roommate my plans, which were this: go downstairs for a nap; if I wake up in time for Salt and feel okay, I'll go; if not, I stay home. So I crawled into bed, set up my computer to play Rocky & Bullwinkle episodes on Hulu, and went to sleep. I woke up at six, after napping for three hours. I could have still gone to Salt, but my headache was fading in and out--even after taking some Tylenol, it didn't fully go away--so I stayed home. The headache ended up peaking right around 8, so in that respect, staying home was the "right" choice. However, I found out this morning that I had missed some cool stuff. Figures. The one time I skip, I miss out on awesomeness.

Anywho, I went to bed a little after 9 last night, fell asleep around 10, and woke up at 6:30. So add another 8 and a half hours to the 3 hour nap. After all that sleep, I'm feeling pretty darn good. My nose is still a little stuffy, and my throat is still a little sore, but it's nowhere near as bad as yesterday, and not even as bad as Monday.

And on a side note, I mentioned that I would be keeping y'all up to date on the weight, and so here you go. I haven't lost any weight yet, but I haven't gained any either. I'm still 298, probably because of the long break from working out and not being fully on the diet yet. Hopefully, we'll start seeing some change there soon.
