Sorry for the lack of post yesterday. Yours truly was laid out in bed trying to resist the urge to lose her lunch for several hours after lunch.

I felt okay in the morning, but something hit me about 30 minutes into a meeting with the local Wachovia Bank financial specialist to close out my Capital Assets Management account. By the time I got back to the office, I was counting the minutes until my supervisor got back so I could go home and throw up in the privacy of my own bathroom. I had a buddy at Ft. Lewis who would purge as soon as he felt anything not right with his digestion, thereby getting rid of incipient food poisoning early in the miserable process. He said his wife was the exact opposite, trying to keep the tainted food down for hours and suffering in silent misery.

I’m somewhere in between. I’ll fight nausea for half an hour, but if I’m still sick after that, I figure that my body knows something that my brain doesn’t, and I’d better just get the deed done.

Too much info, I know.

Anyway, my supervisor did finally come back, and I did get permission to head home so I wouldn’t be mistaken for the Daily Purger who, by the way, is STILL haunting our ladies’ room at the office. I made it through the 30 minute test all right and managed to avoid an up close and personal visit to the shrine of the Porcelain Goddess after all.

I eventually worked up the energy to get out of bed and do a workout with the Yourself Fitness program. It is a testament to my complete lunacy in all matters related to fitness that I decided to follow Ms. Maya’s recommendation and do a core strength workout despite my shaky stomach.

“Ooooh…I can’t even think about eating solid food without gagging right now, but 30 minutes of crunches, planks, and V-ups sounds like a hoot!”

Y!F is great so far, in case anyone is wondering. I really think this is the most innovative use of the Xbox I’ve ever seen, and possibly the only home workout “video” I’ll truly be able to use almost daily without getting bored. I just need a P90X version.

I had to put off the second Muscle Audio Prof workout until today due to the mystery stomach bug yesterday, but it went very well this afternoon. Doing a full body workout is a change for me, but I don’t mind the routine. I can already feel the difference in my arms and legs this week between the MAP workouts, the plyo, the HIIT, and the kenpo, and now, with the Yourself! Fitness “game” around, I actually look forward to a second round of exercise after work, too. Tonight will be an hour of Powerstrike and maybe a quickie 15 or 30 minute workout with the Xbox.
