All of this has made me realize how badly I have been treating my body for the last 2 years or so. The illness got really serious when I decided to do a Master Cleanse. I have done the Master Cleanse several times and had great success with it, but this time I got really sick after only 2 days. The flood of toxins into my system was more than I could handle. After 2 days my tongue was swollen and covered in canker sores, my mouth and throat were also covered, my sinuses were infecte, as were my ears and my lymph nodes were swollen and painful. It's been about 2 weeks since this started and I am feeling much better, but I am still coughing up alot of junk, my tongue is still a bit swollen and my ears still itch. Everyday I feel a little better, but the frustration of not being able to workout has been getting to me.
Today I have been eating nothing but watermelon. I can't really say why... I have been drwan to watermelon since I started getting sick. Everyday for the last 2 weeks I have had at least one small watermelon. Today I have had one large and one personal sized watermelon so far. Watermelon is very cleansing for the kidney and I believe the lungs. I have been coughing up so much more today since I have limited my self to watermelon. I don't know how long I will do just watermelon.. until I get sick of it I guess.
I have gone back and forth about my career choice for the last few years. I have not been entirely happy with working in fitness. I realized this week that I felt that way because I was not taking care of myself. My health and my bodies appearance have suffered and have made me feel like a fraud. I realized that I can not go on telling people how to be healthy if I am not living it myself. I am committing myself to getting my heath back so that I can better help others.
This blog is going to focus on my journey back to health...at least for a while. I will be posting daily and doing new videos 4-5 times per week to demonstrate some of the workouts I am doing along the way. I have been hesitant to do any videos for the last 2 years because I look awful on camera, but the hell with it. If doing the videos helps other people get healthier and helps me stay on track its a win win... I will try to a short video tomorrow if I can stop coughing long enough to film it........no one wants to see me hacking stuff up!
