I may be coming down with a fever. My body has been fighting the viruses which are trying to plague my system for two weeks now…and I think that if I don’t get enough rest tonight, it will succeed.
Reasons why I feel I’m going to get sick:
Lack of sleep. I only get real rest on weekends, meaning complete 8 hours of sleep, without having to wake up before the rooster crows. It’s fascinating, though, how my body clock has already adjusted because even on weekends, I wake up at 4:30 in the morning, which is my usual time to get up on weekdays. On a regular basis, I consider getting 5 hours of sleep as lucky.
Diet. Being healthy entails a lot of sacrifices. Doctors have told me to lose weight but I just didn’t know how. Well, now, I am determined to follow a strict diet plan of low salt, low sugar, and low fat. My interpretation of that simply means no junkfood, including burgers and fries, no softdrinks and no chocolates. Just the thought makes me go weak…but then again, this is all for the best. I hope that my system adjusts to it somehow, even if:
Breakfast at 5:00 am: cereal/rice
Morning snack: crackers
Lunch at 12:00 noon: salad/pasta
Afternoon snack: crackers
Supper before 6:00 pm: any fruit
However, I know better not to deprive myself of the best things in life. Certainly not! I can still eat what I crave for, though no longer as often as I want.
Sigh. This is hard work…Nevertheless, I am going to do my best to take good care of myself.
Mom: Your dad is going to buy you a mic. (serious)
Me: Why? (confused)
Mom: Because he pities you for always singing in the shower… (grinning)
Such sweet parents…Couldn’t ask for anything more. =)
