I have found myself on the receiving end of an extremely severe UTI, bladder infection, and inflamed kidneys, and upon doctors orders, am to abstain from participating in Insanity until I have no symptoms and am pain free, or I complete my antibiotics, 9 days from now whichever comes first, due to dehydration and muscle weakness from the side affects of the medications.
I am trying desperately to stay positive and not give in to my self imposed guilt, since my nightly workout has become something I hold very dear, and my goals are not going to wait since they are time sensitive, however I know that pushing it will just injure myself further, and perhaps take me out of the game completely. I definitely don't want that!
Therefore, I'm finding other, less intense, ways to stay active, and modifying my diet so I remain at my projected deficit, and hopefully continue to lose and progress toward my goal. Its just a short interruption. I will beat it, and be healthier coming out of it in the long run.
I do intend to at least do my fit test on Monday, as well as weigh in and track measurements, as was the initial plan, and I'm not starting over, just resuming where I left off once I do pick it up. I tend to recover fairly quickly, so I am hoping to continue with that trend.
In alternate happy news - I felt this hard little lump in my side which I initially thought was related to the infections, but upon further probing, its an ab! Specifically an oblique, but most importantly here - I HAVE AN AB! Just one... and under a layer of fat, BUT ITS THERE!
Thank you Shaun T. I have never felt such a thing on my body before.
