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.
