If I can do this and not be an uncoordinated, fat bastard, I’ll be just fine. It’s about time I started getting my life back in order. For those of you who don’t know, there’s been a parasite eating my intestines for the last year. During this time, I lost 30 pounds, got addicted to nicotine (I’ve now been quit for 9 months), got really depressed, bitter, and angry; and generally just spun my wheels in the weight room.
However, I now know more about training than I ever have. My pain tolerance is also, unsurprisingly, through the roof.
Yes. E. Histolytica has been killing my stomach. Most likely looking at amebic colitis (albeit, it is more moderate than severe…I haven’t seen blood anywhere). I took the first dose of my antibiotic an hour ago, and I am now camped on the toilet. If everything goes off without a hitch, I should be feeling better in 2 weeks. It’s almost surreal.
Good on you to be on the road to recovery dude. There’s honestly nothing better than being rock bottom, because it means you have nowhere to go but up, and typically at a VERY fast rate. Enjoy the ride.
Cyprus, actually. Yes, I am doing online coaching! I have no complaints…my training schedule is ridiculously erratic (5 AM sessions a few times per week/split sessions/etc), so I probably couldn’t get a coach to work with me even if I lived near one; haha.
