So what has been happening in the past few weeks? Well, I have been ill after the Coffee festival. The week after the coffee fest, I was just doing my regular routine of work and going to the gym. It so happened that I decided to work-out more, but my body could not handle it. I was not giving my body the proper time to rest. Eventually I became sick and I even went to work while being sick, it was not smart. The feeling of being feverish, losing my voice and having headaches were signs that I needed to rest and get healthy again.

Thus I had to reschedule a few things like my job and my work-outs. Normally the fever would be gone if I take a day’s rest, this time however was different I have not been this ill  in a long time. It took me three whole days of sicking it out, I was bed ridden and did not have any appetite. In those three boring days of staying in bed and doing mostly nothing was horrible. The fact of feeling ill, not doing things and hardly eating anything is a horrible horrible way to live. I took my time to rest up and beat the thing that was holding me down.

After the three days of rest, I was finally not feeling feverish anymore, just weak. I could hardly stand on my two feet, my legs were shaky and I felt like tumbling to the ground at any second. I went to work on the following Friday and Saturday while still recovering from my sick-days. On Sunday (my off-day) I had an appointment at my gym. At the moment I felt physically good and a lot lighter. The second part was very true, I lost like four kilograms in that week. It was not something that I wanted, because I am trying to gain weight and muscles. The work-outs proofed to help me gain muscle and weight, but I lost a lot of it during my sick-days.

My body needed energy to fight off the bad-stuff that was making me ill, so during my sick-days it took my body-fat and muscles as nutrition to get the rid of the bad-stuff. Instead of helping my self by replenish nutrition or energy through food, I was not having anything to help my body out, thus leading to my weight lose.

In those two weeks the days flew by and I got behind schedule of posting new content. Let’s see if I can keep up with the pace to write and post like usual. While being sick it got me thinking about where I stand and where I want to be. It is something that I will talk about in a later post again about which path I should walk. For now I try to live as healthy as possible by having enough rest, physical work-out and the needed nutrition.

Be healthy all and Keep Experimenting!
