body can't catch up 080610

I can't believe it's already June.

Half a year has passed and it still feels like yesterday was New Year's.

This is my first blog for the month (I know, nothing much to post for the past few days) and it isn't a very happy one.

I have been incredibly sick for the past few days. I have colds, cough and fever.

The only rational reason whhy I am sick is this - my body can't catch up with my lifestyle!

I have been going on non-stop weekend parties, drinking, smoking and drugging my self. I know better and I know these things are bad for me. But it has just been stressful at work that I always need a way to vent out. I know my choice of de-stressing is not healthy and I am a hundred percent guilty of my own health deficiency.

When I get better, I promise myself that I will stay healthy and return to the active, clean lifestyle that I have lived before.

And so, for me to be constantly reminded, I have created a to-do-list for my own sake:

1) Sleep on time and get enough rest.
2) Wake up to water and eat breakfast everyday.
3) Stick to my exercise regimen which is weights and cardio interval training.
4) Eat on a timed basis with full meals every 4 hours and healthy snacks in the 2 hours between.
5) Quit smoking. This may be hard but I will definitely try.
6) Get my weekly anti-oxidant shots for the next ten weeks.
7) Head back to the beach to de-stress;
8) Go shopping on weekends instead of getting wasted.
9) Limit weekend parties.
10) Start reading books, again.

This is a long shot, but I never doubt myself.

So here I go, I owe it to myself.
