Well It definitely hasn't been the best two weeks food and training wise. I have been so ill we two lots of tonsilitis. This is the 5th lots in about 8 months or so and I am totally over it. I got to the first one early and OH parents are both specialists so they got me onto antibiotics straight away. Felt feverish and my throat like razors but after about 3 days of antibiotics got back into the training again and was starting to feel good. Two days after I finished that course of antibiotics I woke up in the middle of the night with what felt like razor blades in my throat and I was drenched in my own sweat. Felt awful again. So had anoth lot of antibiotics and this time blood tests to find out what was going on with my body.
So the outcome was that I was ridculously low in iron. Mine was 1 and it is suppossed to be around 8. So I had the choice over injections or tablets- of course I opted for tablets (I am such a wuss!!). I am feeling a bit more normal now and less tired but today was my first day back at the gym after about a week and have just been doing some light walks as I couldn't handle anything else without the feeling of fainting. I felt a bit shaky with some weights today but did take it pretty easy.
The thing is though with hardly being able to swallow and just feeling so tired I have been not eating no where near as much as I should as I just have had no appetite. I am sure now that I am getting my mojo back I hope to get to eating my planned meals. I was doing so well in my challenge that this has really taken me a few steps back from what I was. I feel I have lost strength that I gained. I still have 4 weeks left so we will see. I do weight lighter because of being sick but it is not for the right reasons.
So I am planning for a full week of training and nutrition ahead. I also start uni tonight so quite excited but anxious at the same time. I have planned all my meals around this and am prepared as I don't finish uni till 8:30 at night. I hope I can cope with it all. We will see!!
