Day 5
Last night was even worse than yesterday. I left work early, right at lunch, to return home and sleep. I figured it was sleep that I needed to kick the detox feelings. Oh how I was wrong.
I slept that afternoon from 3:30 until 6:00 and then got up to make dinner, clean up, and then go back to sleep. That sleep was fitful at best. I was incredibly cold—the fever setting in—and then I made dinner. Luckily over dinner I had tea, hot food, and I was wrapped in two sweaters, to the point where I was too hot. For the first time yesterday, I was finally warm.
Then I eventually went back to bed only to wake up a few hours later, still cold, with a massive headache and full on fever symptoms. Finally I caved, I took some Tylenol to help break my fever. It worked, but I still couldn't go back to sleep. I was too hot at that point.
I got up from 1:15am until about 4:30am. Then I went back to sleep until about 9:00am.
But this time, when I woke up, I was feeling somewhat better. No fever, somewhat rested, and time to start my day. I immediately got started on the one hundred pushup challenge. Today's goal was 7, 9, 8, 8, 9+, I did it all. What's really surprising is how much stronger I can feel myself getting, I was able to sustain my body weight on the pushup and control the up/down motion of the pushup. I may be able to start doing my yoga shortly.
I also did the Couch-to-5k program.
So all in all, I feel much stronger today. I feel that I can finally begin making progress towards these trials. I'm still not a full week into this and I feel like I may be over the worst of it. But we'll see what the rest of the day brings.
Until later, (only 105 more days!)
