episode 3: turkey strikes back

so I have been MIA for the past 48 hours on here because I have/had food poisoning...again. It hit me early Friday morning, and I've been getting dominated by it since. I'm almost positive it was the fish I had on Wednesday haha. I was doing some research, and I found out it can take up to 48 hours for the food poisoning to take its toll. I feel better now. Last time I got food poisoning (about 5-6 weeks ago) I only got it downstairs. This time, Turkey was kind enough to not only give it to me downstairs, but throwing up as well.

What sucks the most is on the way back from the gym on Thursday, I remember telling A-tom that this was the first time I have been 100% well since I have been in Turkey. Well. that lasted about 12 hours haha. Oh well, no biggie. All I can do now is try and get hydrated again by Monday. I am *finally* back to my racing weight again! I tipped the scales at 158 pounds on Thursday, up from 147 abot 2 months ago. I just hope I didnt lose too much weight from being sick.

Oh, and I'm also taking a break from my cardio next week. My legs are starting to take a beating from the running. I'm still gonna be lifting weights, but I'm doing a little cross training....with yoga. Yes, yoga. I signed up to do yoga on Monday and Thursday next week. I think it'll be fun to stretch out a little bit, not to mention there are gonna be bunch of turkish hunnies gettin all bent out of shape around me :)

I was going to go to this traditional Turkish dinner with all the turkish students tonight, but I dont think I am going to anymore. I feel like I could go, but I dont think I am ready to stuff my face with a ton of food yet. Oh well.

love peace and antibacterial grease

  1. Hey Chad, I'm thinking it would probably be best to stick with the big chain restaurant for meals or just pack a picnic! How many days are left in this semester anyway?

    They need restaurant report cards like we have here. http://www.wrcbtv.com/Global/category.asp?C=129711&nav=menu1406_8_4
