My #Cinchspiration Update!

It’s time for me to give my Cinchspiration update and well, I feel like a failure.  I do.  I’ve been sick for the past month and I haven’t exercised at all.  I didn’t follow the Cinch plan because I didn’t feel like eating healthy.  I just wanted to sit with a blanket and drink honey tea or sleep.

The month started with me taking care of my sick little girl.  I hated seeing her sick, it hurt me to see her uncomfortable.  It wasn’t long before my husband and I were sick as well.  Together we went through two jars of honey and I wrote the post Homemade Cough Remedies after a lot of reading and asking everyone I knew for advice.  The doctor said that I had bronchitis and I went through two rounds of antibiotics and one round of steroids before I began to feel better.  It was bad!  I felt sluggish and I sounded like a man, an old man at that.  Even after the steroids kicked in and I felt remarkably better I had to go back to the doctor because I started having intense chest pains.  It turns out that I messed up the cartilage between my ribs from coughing so hard.   I didn’t even know that was possible!  “Messed up” wasn’t the way the doctor phrased it but I can’t remember his twenty-dollar word for it.  He gave me prescription pain medicine for it but I’ve held off taking it because the pain is bearable.  I’m using a heating pad at night to help ease the pain so I can sleep.

Long story short, I’ve felt pretty crummy recently and not only that but I have the overwhelming guilt of giving up on the Cinch program.  I’m not out and I will continue on but I feel so discouraged to get behind like this and lose a whole month.  Everybody falls though, right?  It’s important to get back up and move on.  Here’s to next month!  I can do it!  I’ll be posting a video soon since I no longer sound like a man.
