Fit

I literally live a boring life, sorry, not a whole lot to talk about... I went to a cubs game last weekend, and apparently we must have had a dirty hotel room (?!) because myself and one of my friends are sick with the exact same thing. Asked the doctor and it is a viral upper respiratory infection. I won't go into the graphic details.;)
Anyway, this has put a damper on my workout plan. I was also diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma, which is no surprise because I grew up with asthma. Anyway, I have been trying to do cardio every day, but obviously being unable to breathe is ruining that goal for right now. Hopefully this goes away quickly because bikini season is just around the corner!

Along the lines of health, make sure you aren't doing careless things such as ignoring pain/bumps/lumps, etc... hoping it will go away. One of my roommates' mothers just was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. This is one of the most common and curable of cancers, but still very scary. I know how it feels to have a cancer surprise in the family because my father had cancer as well. (He got through it though and has been in remission for several years, thank goodness) Things like that people assume will never happen to them, do. Just be aware and be careful of what runs in your family and would you could be prone to getting.

That's all the rambling I have in me right now.
