Illness thorwing me a curve ball
Beginning the day after Christmas I began to feel queezy with some abdominal cramping. At first I figured this was just the deserts I indulged in over Christmas day disagreeing with me and my dieting. I trained on Weds as planned, but overall the session wasn’t that great despite taking in plenty of fluid I couldn’t get the cramping to go away. On thursday I had my children overnight, and the cramping began to increase and then Friday after dropping my kids back off to their mom, I was on my way home and planning to head to the gym when all of a sudden, I began hurling while driving down the highway (not a pretty site for whoever was driving behind me) Well going to train was out of picture for me at this point, so I went home drank some water, took a hot shower to try and ease my cramping and went to bed. I awoke a few hours later with some more fluid lose, believe me this was bad, so bad I dont’ need to detail. This was the story for the next 24 hours, sleep a hour, get sick, go back to sleep, repeat. Today I still have abdominal discomfort but ive been able to keep fluids down, still avoiding food, have ate a few saltines to see if I can hold those down right now. My bodyweight is down to 205 right now and I haven’t really eaten anything in almost 72hours at this point, im scared to see how weak and pathetic im gonna be when I do get back to my training (hopefully tomorrow evening). Realistically nothing has gone to plan thru my first month of dieting, I haven’t had the income to adequately support my meal plans, thus I have cut my overall intake short of were it needs to be. (thats another thing, this country is out of shape because its so cheap to eat like crap but if you wanna be fit and eat right it costs you an arm and a leg, that is so not right) Im gonna need to see were im at come the end of January and re evaluate my game plan.

Regardless of how weak you will be the first day back in the gym I assure you it will be temporary. After about 2 or 3 workouts you will be back to your normal self. Vinny

I am there too….dammit. I got this crazy headache while weighttraining yesterday and went home an puked. The rest of teh day was just a mild headache. Woke this morning ready for a workout…got there and the same thing 15 minutes into my workout got hit by the same lightening bolt headache and felt nauseous again. I think it is what they call an "exertion headache" (online) but I am going to have to get it checked out before I can go back to my routine (dammit). I am so mad that this is happening and messing with my workouts!!!! By the way..when all else fails, egg whites, frozen veggies, salsa, organic peanut butter, bag of chicken breast, tunafish and oatmeal.

You are not joking about health food costing a lot. If it helps I buy my stuff in bulk and cook and prepare my food for the week and store it in those little glad disposable containers. Hope you feel better bro I know what it’s like when you can’t train I hurt my shoulder and had to take 2 weeks off should have been 2 months but I was freakin cause I wanted to get pumped so bad!
