Manflu
I have had a bad dose of man flu, namely a chest infection the past few days. Thought I was past them since giving up the ciggarettes nine months ago. However as I am getting older, I am beginning to listen and headed along to the doc straight away. Not so long ago I would just stick my head in the sand and expect it to go all away by itself. Yes I am a misguided stubborn alpha male.
He has put me on a course of antibiotics, so my training has been scuppered for the past few days. I am trying to feel upbeat and take the positives out of the cabin fever I have had. It has allowed me to appreciate that my health is important not only to me but how it affects my dependents ie my beautiful wife and my career. I need to relax at times and slow down to focus the small brain matter I have on what is important.
Im also signed up for kickboxing classes that start in a months time and that is something I am so eager to do. How I will manage I am unsure as I have the co-ordination of a drunken monkey and am not half as good looking.
Speaking of which I gave up alcohol for a month back as well and it was one of the best months I’ve had in 2008. There are reasons not to this month in that I turn 30 and am heading to Portugal on a short break. However there are always reasons not to so Im going to give it a go again. I dont drink massively or always to excess just cant deal with the hang overs and I suppose there is a bit of been there done that as well. I love the mindless self uindulgence sometimes but this is something I have been thinking about a while. Keep ya’s posted on my progress.
