Whirlwind

So much has happened since my last post and most of it hasn't been great. A few days after the 5K I woke up with a horrible headache that did not go away for several days. I finally made it to the Dr. and was diagnosed with a sinus infection. They gave me antibiotics and sent me on my way. The next day I was back at the clinic though because I broke out in a rash of red spots all over my body. Fortunately, they did not itch but it did make me feel a little nervous. They decided it was a reaction to the antibiotics and gave me something different. After two more days, I still had the spots so back to the Dr I went. That is when they gave me prednisone and that has been a ride. I haven't been sleeping well and it has affected my mood but thankfully the spots have been going away.

I haven't been able to really keep my routine going because of the health issues but I am finally feeling better so my plan is to jump back in full force on Monday. I am restarting the workout program that I have been doing the last month and a half. This was a decision that I have been toying with for a while. The program is very intense and starting where I did, I knew I had a long way to go. Once I hit the half way point, I knew I could push on if I wanted to but I felt like I would get more out of it and have better results if I repeated the first half again. I am looking forward to it because of how strong I have gotten over the past six weeks and I know hitting it again full force can only lead to better things. It will also work out perfectly for it to wrap up right before Mac gets home. I will also be starting a new active multivitamin with the program. I have been meaning to take a multivitamin but I have been slacking. I am hoping to get into that routine as well in the future.

There will be LOTS going on over the next two months. I will be traveling back to GA for a spontaneous trip next week to take part in an amazing opportunity at Turner Field before a Braves game. It will be a quick trip but I am so extremely excited about it. I am sure there will be a more in depth post about it next week because even though this experience may not be a step in my journey, baseball and my love of the game and "my team" have been a huge part of my life. I will also be flying back later in the month for another Disney trip and then a wedding and another Braves game(on my anniversary.) Then I will be heading back to TX to get ready for the love of my life to come home.

I'm excited about what is to come and I am excited about what I see ahead of me. I know that there are a lot of things that haven't gone exactly as I had planned but I have learned a lot and I feel like good things are in store. Hopefully, most of the craziness is behind me and now I can focus on the great things to come.
