Recovery

Today has been.....slow.  I woke up still feeling pretty gross, but I managed to make it through the night without another puking spell.....*yay*....it's the little things, really.  I opted to skip class today to recover, as I didn't want to risk exacerbating things and putting myself out for LONGER.  So I spent the day listening to lectures that I've missed and catching up on work, which has actually taken all day.

My appetite still isn't really back yet, which is mildly concerning, given the fact that my only caloric intake for the past 2 days has been gatorade, but I'm hoping by tomorrow my energy will be back up, and hopefully my appetite too.  I was hoping to have a more controlled method of cutting weight for my tournament, but I suppose medically induced fasting works too :/

Tomorrow will be my first day back in the gym, so we'll see how it goes.  I'm not gonna do kickboxing or any bare-foot activities that involve me twisting on my toe to avoid injury, so I think I'm gonna hit the treadmill and try to build up some cardio before doing weights.  I'll head back to BJJ tomorrow night and see how my toe handles things.  I'm definitely not gonna be rolling hard though.  I'll probably just focus more on conditioning and technique than actual sparring.  If my toe is still mad, I'll probably just take Jen's advice and cut it off......hah

Life has significantly slowed down here with the sudden arrival of.....work.  I feel like I'm back in Berkeley again!  It's suddenly normal to not go out every single night of the week.  How odd!  Though I'm sure May will pick back up again :D

Lab report due in 2 weeks, Islam paper due in 3, BMB papers due in 3, micro midterm in 3.  EEK!  Curse you learning!
