Car trip all the way from San Diego with the rest of Nor Cal. Traffic and heat. Got home too tired to work out

Nothing in my way, now. Sunday!

So I still have this darn headache. 8 days and counting, tired of it, however I think it's still the effects of detoxing. I ate a little rich last night, and drank 2 dark beers, one porter and one stout, with dinner. Stone brewery, very good with baked goat cheese and carmelized onions, as well as AHI poke. So here's the workout today and still feeling Great and sleeping like a baby. Soundly and long. A few detox sweats in the middle of the night, but it was also in the 80's.

Back in action

Last October I had pneumonia. The kind that puts you in the hospital. I opted for strong atibiotics and bed @ home. 3 weeks of hydrating and levaquin still unable to be upright for longer than an hour or two. I started to feel almost human again by the end of November and went to New York for a few days with friends and pretended to be "normal" After I got back I had a relapse. It wasn't until January that I actually got off all the meds and started to work out a little. My energy didn't return until recently and every little bug that comes around I have issues and have to be very careful. Here we are now 10 months & 21 pounds later (ugh). My body needs a complete overhaul. I'm motivated and back in action now. I weighed myself this morning (yikes) and put in a good workout, for me right now. I've been playing tennis and training about 3 days a week each and now, I'm making the effort to keep my blog and track my progress.
