Week 4 - Day 4: Sick Day

I was supposed to drive my mom out to my sister's house today so that one of us could drive the sister to the hospital for her minor surgery today, and the other could watch the baby. Instead, when I got in the car to warm it up a wave of nausea came over me, and I had to come back into the house to vomit. I didn't crawl back out of bed until after noon.

I hardly ate anything because my stomach was all "Food? Yeah, that's a big nope for today."

I fully expect my weight to go up a few powers this week, what with the last two days of me breaking diet and eating stuff not on the plan, and then today of me just not eating.

The good news is the job I had turned down (well, it was a second interview) because the pay was too low, came back with a much better offer, so I'm going in for a second interview next week.

I had my first ceramics class on Tuesday... It was also my last. At least for this program. I want to do ceramics. I don't want to be required to go to a field trip, or feel guilty that I will have to miss a week for a business related conference. Or worry about the late hours of the class when I know I will have an opening shift the next day.

I wound up talking with my friend Anna for almost two hours as she talked me down from my mid-day crisis (Other people have mid-life crises. Oh no, not me... It's a daily thing). In the end, I decided it was best for my sanity to drop the class... And then I hoped on the city recreation website and signed up for a class with them! For less than half the cost of the other class, one night a week, better hours, no required field trip, and no teacher judging me for not "taking the course seriously." I just want my hands in clay. I just want to learn, and have fun.

Now I'm going to go take my sleeping pills and hop in bed. Tomorrow when I wake up, I will feel well. I will go to work. I will stay on plan and have an awesome day. I will not need a health coach intervention, because I am in control of my own actions, and I will remember what is most important-- my health.

P.S. I didn't take my shot today. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I don't develop any symptoms.
