So, a month off exercising due to a cold that turned into a chest infection. And I'm feeling better now but going to be sensible and not exercise for another two weeks because chronic respiratory condition plus acute chest infection. I still feel like shit, but I'm going back to work tomorrow because I know they will struggle to cover my shifts over the weekend.
And then I read this article
http://uk.businessinsider.com/the-most-unhealthy-jobs-in-america-2015-11/#4-veterinarians-and-veterinary-assistants-and-technicians-24 And the job I do now is about number THREE in the most unhealthy jobs. But that's okay, because I'm looking to change jobs. Oh look! The new job is number TWENTY ONE in the list of the most unhealthy jobs! What a tremendously tremendous improvement that is. Treeeemendous. Tremendous.
Anyway. Even if I can't exercise, I can eat really good food. Which I have been doing. I've gained weight, but that's not the end of the world. It's frustrating, because my climbing on the bike was getting better and better. And my running was going really well. And I will have lost all those gains. But I've been frustrated before and I didn't die.
And I'm off Prozac. Which I've been on since 2012. So that's good.
I can't wait to get back out there. And maybe when you have a chronic respiratory condition, you have to accept that a few months out of every year will be written off.
Acceptance. That's a spiritual thing, that is. Bah.
