Ear Infection Woes

Posted on by

I have an ear infection. It felt much worse yesterday, but the pain seems to have subsided today. Im still trying to figure out what exactly caused the problem, and I have not been able to see a doctor yet. I haven’t had the flu nor have I gone swimming so its kind of odd that my ears have gotten infected. I’ve never had an ear infection before.

I had really wanted to visit the doctor today, but I had to go into work because it was Parent Teacher Conference. There was no way around it. I could not take the day off to see the doc when parents were visiting to pick up their child’s report cards. So during my break, I decided to have the school nurse check my ears and she discovered that my left ear was swollen red and that was causing the pain to shoot up to my head.

Im not a big fan of visiting the doctor, but it seems I may need to see one even though the swelling has gone down. From what I have researched online, it can get far worse than a headache if its not treated early. Looks like its sickleave and a trip to the doctor tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.

Lose that Gut- Week Five

After five grueling weeks of cardio, weight training, and diet, the sacrifice is finally starting to payoff. I didnt expect my abs to start showing this early, but Im so glad it did. I was starting to lose faith in the diet program I was on, and I thought about quitting on a couple of occasions.

I was going to post a photo of my stomach area in week one, but thats just too damn embarassing. I could not believe I looked like that without a shirt. I used to walk around the beach with that gut hanging out too! The gut was a product of alot of beer drinking and rice eating! Since I’ve cut those two “comforts” of out my diet, I’ve been seeing a rapid improvement in my mid-section area.

Its funny to think that at one point in college I weighed just 130 pounds. It feels really good to look at my abs again! I miss you guys! I cant wait for the results by week ten! Hopefully going back to work next month wont slow down my diet too much. I’ll keep everyone posted on my progress.

Giving up Beer…

Those keeping up with my lose the gut posts have probrably been wondering how my workouts have been. Well, I’m currently on a five day split and motivating myself to go and hit the weights has been very easy for me. I’ve been training since 2000 and the gym is part of my lifestyle. When I dont go, I start to literally feel sick!

The nutritional diet was a bit tough the first week, but I’ve become accustomed to it and I’ve been sticking to my guns. The only setback I have now is controlling my urge to drink a beer! I have not touched a beer since my diet stared two weeks ago, but the temptation has been very strong. The urge has been even worse these past couple weeks because its the summertime and my homies are back for vacation. Im surrounded by beer drinkers!

I’ve been teased a bit about drinking water in the clubs, but in the end I know it will payoff. I’m really aiming for a nice set of abs by the end of my summer break. I think I will start drinking a couple beers here and there once I attain my goal, but until then, its hands off.

Wish me LUCK!
