Oh.ck2006 said:Well not good news from the doctor today I have a f&*&^* chest infection and I am not allowed to do anything until it clears up (yeah right) he gave me some really strong antibotics that I only take for four day and it stays in my system for another 10. As well, I have....
and I am not feeling sorry for myself, just frustrated cause this is literally a pain in the ass!!!!!
I don't think you wanna lower your cals, you need to keep them where there at since you already went from 2100 down to 1400... plus you NEED that 1400 for maintenance... Hmmm as far as cardio goes, maybe just long SLOW cardio instead of anything else, like an hour in the morning or what not?!?!ck2006 said:Hey great idea, I do have resistance bands! Good one. Now for the cardio.... gotta figure out something or lower my cals more, what do you think?
HiDnGoD said:Oh.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Yeah chest infections are teh suck!
The only thing I can suggest is go really easy, if at all. It can easily turn into pneumonia (I think) if you stress yourself too much.
I had an infetion a coupla weeks ago & a naturopath I saw suggested Echinacea & Goldenseal to help fight it. Check it out
Infection lasted 2 weeks, 'til it was aaallll gone. Just did really light weights, no cardio.ck2006 said:another excellent suggestion thank you. How long did your infection last and did you do any exercising while you had it???
HiDnGoD said:Infection lasted 2 weeks, 'til it was aaallll gone. Just did really light weights, no cardio.
sbt2082 said:OH, do you take any vitamin c??? I used to or do through the winter months when stuff seems to go around here more often... then just double up on it if ever start to feel blah...
Relax. I should've clarified. My infection was a skin infection, on my surgical incision. I just didn't wanna tear it open.ck2006 said:2 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!! see now that is just not acceptable, nope, I can't have that happen it will screw everything up for the competition, kay now I am really freaking, AHHHHHHHHH
HiDnGoD said:Relax. I should've clarified. My infection was a skin infection, on my surgical incision. I just didn't wanna tear it open.

You're welcomeck2006 said:excellent THANK You![]()

I also have a bad habit, when I'm talking to people, of not finishing my sentences. I assume they know what I'm going to say, or what my point is.ck2006 said:You Meathead LOL , you had me really freaking!![]()

Cheers to a good sleep! I've started taking Melatonin (when I remember). It works well if you're restless. I don't think it would help with a pain issue. Did he give you an anti inflamatory, a painkiller, or something for the arthritis?ck2006 said:August 26
weight:135.8
Today will be my day off as we have lots to do and I want to give my body a rest. I must say the antibodics seem to be ALREADY working! which is amazing. So I am pretty sure it won't take too long for recovery (knock on wood)!
The pills he gave me for my back, well...I slept really well![]()
Everybody have a good weekend.

mother in law is coming over with a whole bunch of people and I am cooking a huge supper which I have to start this morning. Plus my chest is ok if I don't do anythingbut I am sticking to 1390 calories, cause my trainer hasn't emailed me my new diet yet, I might stick to it anyway depending on what she gives me.
Shadow my butt and upper legs are still sore from the stair exercises LOL
The Shadow said:Glad you liked the exercises.
When do we eat again??
HiDnGoD said:Enjoy your din din. How do you cook your yams? Can you just nuke them, like a baked potatoe?

*Bunny* said:A chest infection? Hmm, interesting. I sure think it is possible to hold on to somethign that long & not really evern know it.
Do you know some people are convinced I had walking pneumonia since I had the bad kidney infection? (The nice little vistor IN MAY ...)
Either way, get well soon! Control WHAT you can to make that happen. I admire all you do with a house full of kids .. adopting?? lol![]()
HiDnGoD said:What is swimmers itch?
*Bunny* said:UGHJust what you needed
![]()
Super Mommy![]()

Gotcha.ck2006 said:It is when...
Swimmer's itch, also called cercarial dermatitis, appears as a skin rash caused by an allergic reaction to certain parasites found in certain birds and mammals . These microscopic parasites are released from infected snails into fresh and salt water (such as lakes, ponds, and oceans). Rather than finding a host bird or mammal, the parasite instead burrows into the nearby swimmer's skin, causing an allergic reaction and rash. Swimmer's itch is found throughout the world and is more frequent during summer months
and guess what they were doing when we got there, showing me all the snails in the water! But it goes away in 2 days.

ck2006 said:Well I am fucked. I have one more week of doing absolutely nothing, but walking for 60 minutes a day and some funky stretches morning and night. After this week, I will decide if I compete. There is always april. Excuse me while I walo in self pity for a while. LOL
She said as my trainer she can't advise me to compete in the condition I am in. I am going for accupuctor, and a massage this week as well. She said I will just get more sick, and I believe her at this point. My kids need me to be healthy more than I need to compete right now.
But it ain't over yet, one last week to decide.
As well, today I quit smoking, yup thats right I smoke which isn't making my lungs any better. I can't blame anyone at this point but myself. Sooo yup, today is the day I quit!

The Shadow said:You haven't asked for it
but here it is
Don't read it if you want an objective opinion:
Postpone the competition...too manythings going on
Sickness
Dropping the smoking
and imo - lack of clear precise training/dieting plan..none of which is your fault
*Bunny* said:The Acu CAN rid your body of toxins, same with the type of massage you get, so yes you can make things worse if you are already really sick. Go get a relaxing swedish massage, it will probably do you good.
Congrats on your decision to quit smoking.![]()
I hope you decide to finish this. You WILL feel better after 2 weeks of kicking the habit.
Well wishes to you![]()
ck2006 said:That is cute, and trust me, I value you and everybodies opinion A LOT!
The Shadow said:Too many variables at this point Hon.
show week dehydration is very very difficult - combine that with the sickness you have had going on and the drop in Nicotine and the lost week of training....its too much
Ok this may make me tear up, but listen.ck2006 said:It was very hard for me to admit that I smoke especially to you, and so your well wishes mean a lot. It was like I was disappointing my mom or something![]()

*Bunny* said:Ok this may make me tear up, but listen.
I will NEVER slam someone for making a decision that will improve her quality of life, and prolong it. What's past is past ... I truly believe YOU chose the path you take in the future, and you have chosen to be healthy, now you are chosing to quit smoking. That is AWESOME and I am SO Proud of you, you really have no idea CK.
Some things are out of your control, ok we've BOTH been there lol, but the best thing for you to do is make the right decision for you and your family, and you did. The comp part is up to you. I think Shadow can foresee things that you haven't thought of yet as the date approaches, and your health is just more important. Heck if all the sudden you feel like a million bucks in a week then by all means .... Kill it girl! But if not, don't worry about it. Like Sassy always says, have a few backup show dates. If you have to wait til next year? woo hoo time to add some more muscle & preplan a little better (again NOT really your fault here).
Just think, you can use cig Money & the $$ to do this show to come see meheehee.
I will buy your tickets to the day/night show

mermaid said:Holy shit woman, catching up on your log.
There is NOTHING more important in your life than your own health because you can not function well as a mother, wife, employee, competitor etc. without it.
I like how, even in the midst of chaos, you can always employ some humour to relieve the pain![]()
Plus, I got to see your face! Cool!
Listen to Shadow. Get another trainer.
And major kudos on the quit smoking campaign...
But most of all, JUST GET WELL QUICKLY.
![]()
As far as the show goes, I think Shadow may be right darlin, don't do anything to jeopardize another show later on down the road... just set your sights on April if ya feel sub par, and when you are back and 110% go at it killing it again just like you used to, and kick some major @$$ on stage then 
sbt2082 said:WOwwwweeee, just now getting caught up for the day on your log hun, and I gotta tell you how PROUD I am for you and your decision to quit smokingNot that I ever knew you did smoke, but quitting is definately the best decision you could make especially as far as your health is concerned

I DON'T think you should be humiliated at all sweetieck2006 said:Yup been smoking since I was, arrr 11 years old. Not very proud and my hubby has never smoked a day in his life, well not cigarette smoke and the other type he swears he never inhaled. LOL (i crack myself up sometimes)
Thanks, yeah, hubby and I talked it over tonight and the dream is dead for now.
I have to phone everybody and face the humilation of telling them it won't be in October. Feeling a wee bit like a loser right now. (yeah I know, what do you mean just right now LOL hohoho)![]()
I will get over it, by this time next week I plan on having a new game plan and coming back stronger (or fatter) LOL j/k than ever.
I will be following closely those who are competing right now, taking notes and I am hoping that the bright, wonderful, all knowing, gorgeous Shadow will still help me out and I know/hope I can always count on you AWESOME girls (there is my shameless plug) LOL![]()

Your health is whats important here, and friends and family that love you will want whats best for you anyways
SO keep your chin up, because we'll all still be behind ya come April I'm sure.....
out as soon as your healthy again too!Exactly. Anybody who cares about you (and really, who wouldn't?) will also be more concerned about your health than seeing you onstage. This is also a really busy time for you, with your Hubby's business, school starting, etc. In the spring, this'll all be a cakewalk & you can concentrate on the show.sbt2082 said:I DON'T think you should be humiliated at all sweetieYour health is whats important here, and friends and family that love you will want whats best for you anyways

And be keeping that
out as soon as your healthy again too!
I hope you get to feeling better soon. Plus, this way, think of how much more you will be able to prepare for the show if it's in April. The Shadow said:Just b/c you dont have a show doesnt mean that you cant prepare as if there WAS a show - say 12 weeks from now
ck2006 said:hmmmmm, you mean cut right now and after do a bulk??????
You have my full attention!
*Bunny* said:Do you chew gum? The oral fix is hard to nip in the bud... drink water and CHOMP gum ... sugar free candy (<-- watch thoses), etc.![]()
That's good then!!!ck2006 said:I hate gum and candy. I quit for 3 months and drank water, water water so it is all good. The bathroom and my kids are keeping me busy. the hardest is first thing in the morning, talking on the phone and driving. but everyday will get better
I can honestly feel the nicotine oooozzing from my body today, it is kinda gross, but my chest already feels 50% better, wait till it all starts coming out of my lungs, yum yum!
Shower time.![]()

scorpiogirl said:Whoa!!!! Had some catchin' up to do here!!!! Great job kickin' that nasty habit, Girl! So you are delayed a few months....eh....so what.....you KNOW you've got it in ya' and you'll be back on top as soon as you get a couple things in order, right?!?!
You rock, ck!![]()
