Ho hum. So I got a horrible sunburn on Monday as a result of not being aware that the UV index was at 9 while I was outside tanning. The burn on my legs/chest/neck have now faded to a nice tan. However, the burn on my abdomen is persistent, mainly due to its lack of exposure to the sun over the past decade, along with the constant friction from pant waistbands.
Yesterday I went to emergency after work. Stabbing pains when moving around centralized in the kidney area. After spending an hour sitting there waiting for a doctor, I felt like a complete baby for being there. They made me pee in a cup, then came back and told me my kidneys are working fine. Glee! BUT, [omnious but] the pain could be coming from either (a) muscle tension, or (b) shingles. I'm too young for shingles! So far, no rash has appeared so I appear to be ok on the shingles front. My pain has also severely reduced this morning, which might be due to the lovely meds I was given, or because I'm a delusional hypochondriac.
I was supposed to attend my first/last aquafit class for the season, but figured due to possible tension exercise might be a BAD thing. I guess I'll have to wait till the fall to experience the glory and finesse that is aquafit.
I've lost about 8-10 lbs according to my scale. Thus why my inabilities to workout the past few days have been pissing me off. I like to keep the momentum going thankyouverymuch. I've also noticed that in periods of physical activity, I feel better about my body. My tummy looks less bulging, and my ass looks rounder, and my thighs .. well they still look fat. But during periods of inactivity I just return to general fatness.
Re: work -- I think I'm finally near the point of complete emotional breakdown. God I feel so stressed and overworked. Yesterday was my relaxing day, but because of my normal pace I've actually started to feel guilty for having a decreased workload, which is complete bullshit. I spent so much of the past month doing the work of two people that I now feel like a slacker when only doing the work of one. Blaaaaaaaaaaarg. I really think that there should be manditory therapy provided [and paid for] by my company when you sign a contract of employment. It's a wonder no one has quit yet for these reasons. O_o
