Dehydration you b***h!

I managed to make myself really ill on Wednesday. I started bingeing because I had a tough day at work – I was still very upset when I got home, so I just ordered a pizza… Then had a jack and coke… And that was it. I was in agony – tummy pain, later fever. I had to come home from work the next day because I was shivering from the fever and pain.
I think it was because I forgot to drink on Wednesday. I don’t think I drank more than 750ml – which is shocking! The dehydration effect of the coke and the alcohol just made it worse. And then my IBS kicked in because of the cheese. Oh god. NEVER AGAIN!
Today I was feeling better, no sign of fever, but my tummy wasn’t feeling well. All I had today was really dry food – the kind of things you’d have if you had food poisoning. Dry wheetabix, salty pretzels, tea biscuits, boiled potatoes. Nothing acidy or fatty.

Don’t ever do this to yourself.
This was a wakeup call for me that I really have to watch how much I drink in a day (I blame my boss for Wednesday though!) and that I have to take my IBS more seriously. Oh and my emotional bingeing. Don’t do it.

I hope I’ll be strong enough to go climbing tomorrow morning.
Also, I haven’t done my gym program yet because of this silly illness – will try to do it tomorrow!

Day 22 – the last week has begun…

So it is the first day of the last week already gone!
I got up early – I was really tempted to have a lie in, but I resisted 😉 I have to admit though, that it was partly due to my IBS kicking in this morning I have no idea what had triggered it, it felt like as if I had had a glass of milk – which I obviously didn’t! I had to visit the bathroom two more times after breakfast, then it was gone! Odd… But it was a good start to my daily routine plan 🙂
After a bad start the day just got better. I made a prawn pad thai stir fry for lunch – only 310 kcal 🙂 it was yummy! Practiced German almost all day, while relaxing (days off work always go by really quickly). Ich habe mich sehr viele YouTube videos angeschaut :).
In the evening I went to the gym – I finally managed to get to Erika’s classes! 30 min aerobics and 30 min spinning – I was exhausted by the end but I loved it so much! And I’ve never done this well before! On the fast track at aerobics I only missed a few repetitions – almost made it all the way through! I remember my first aerobics class with Erika – I couldn’t do even half of the fast track. I did a few jumping jacks and skiing, but I was unable to do any of the burpees – that was about 3 months ago. A few more classes and I will be able to do all repetitions 😉 I’m just hoping I can make it to these classes – stupid inconsistent work pattern…
And spinning! It was so much fun watching those (typical going-to-pub-after-gym and never-done-cardio-classes-ever) guys being out of breath by the end haha :). To be honest there was a point where I was almost crying – both from pain and joy, because I actually managed to do it even after being tired from aerobics 😉 I felt exhilarated by my personal success – better joy than any kind of food can give you!
Thank you Erika, it was an amazing workout tonight! Looking forward to Wednesday 😉
