Poorly, sick, feeling sorry for myself

Illness always feels like the universe trying to tell me something. Like it's time to stop take stock and see why your body has thrown this curveball at you.

Did I do anything to protect against potential illness? No I've been rubbish with food, exercise, hydration, sleep - the lot. In fact all the things that should boost immunity, increase wellbeing have been replaced by the short term fixes... Junk food, chocolate, caffeine, late nights, early mornings.

I have been niggled by a need to turn things around, but have postponed to tomorrow pretty much everyday with a new excuse each day, even today I could make bad choices 'because I'm sick'. 

After a couple of days off work I returned to the fray this morning, unprepared & a sneaky visit to the shop on the way to work meant my snack for the morning wasn't the most nutritious, guess what by lunchtime I was back at square one, only good for coming home and heading for bed!!

You might think this is a drastic point if view but from someone who believed in supreme health, you are what you eat, but has let it all slide I can see how the right choices could have meant no sickness - not guaranteed, but I'd rather look back from a sick bed knowing I did all I could to feed my body and prevent this than look back and regret my choices.

Oh well, a good nights sleep tonight and let's see what happens tomorrow!!
