I haven't exercised in a very long time. Days. Many days.
First, I was a single parent for a long weekend and those few moments of peace that exist during nap time were needed to relax, not work out.
Then, I was in pain. Serious pain.
I went to the Emergency Room yesterday morning because the pain in my stomach was so intense that I thought I was dying. Is my appendix ruptured? Do I have gallstones? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?
After many, many, hours waiting around, I was given my diagnosis: Gastritis.
Typically, people who have gastritis are heavy drinkers, smokers, regular anti-inflammatory medicine takers, and poor eaters. I am none of those things. Especially recently.
So, my stomach still hurts. I am taking prescription strength pepcid and have been told to follow a "bland" diet for two weeks.
Needless to say, Shredding probably won't happen for a few more days. The thought of clenching my abdominal muscles is enough to make me want to throw up, so I have a feeling that actually doing so would not be a good idea.
