Ok, so no idea what day we’re on now as the past week has been a shit one
Coming back from the family trip on the last day, I ended up with a bit of a sniffle and struggled to concentrate driving the 2 hours home. Once I got back, it was rough. I went to bed early because something just wasn’t right—completely drained and aching all over.
Woke up the next day feeling like absolute death.
I’ve just spent the past
five days dealing with the worst man flu I’ve ever had. My skin went grey, my body was sweating like crazy even with the aircon cranked up (QLD summers are brutal when you’re sick). I threw everything at it, trying to feel somewhat human again:
- B12 injection
- Massive doses of Vitamin C
- Lemsips
- Ridiculous amounts of water
- Good food and green drinks
…and still, nothing budged it.
Over these past five days, I’ve had next to no movement—no gym—and it feels like I’ve set myself back two weeks. I tried not to eat stupidly, but I definitely didn’t eat enough overall.
On the night I got back from the trip, I treated myself to lobster, prawns, lamb chops, and a Greek-style salad. Felt like a good start. But a few days in, I caved and had what I’d call my “one bad meal”—a massive melt sandwich loaded with meats, cheese, and mustard. Honestly, it was heaven and gave me a quick morale boost.
Oh, and yesterday was Australia Day, so of course, we had a BBQ. Dinner was next level: an epic steak sandwich with a 400g steak, egg, bacon, cheese, mayo, BBQ sauce, cucumber, and spinach. Worth every bite.
Finally made it back to the gym today even though I’m not 100%. I’ll update on how that went later on. Back on my meal plan today too, so fingers crossed I’ll be feeling like myself again tomorrow.
Will have a check in photo up as well with my gym updates.
