Notes
I’ve eaten something that doesn’t agree with me, or picked up a stomach bug… full of wind, stomach pains etc. Woke last night at 12, 1, 2 and then 4. Thought I was going to be ill (I wasn’t), took some stomach upset stuff that calmed things down a little.
Just to make matters worse, between the wake-ups I had incredibly vivid dreams including one where I went to the gym and vomited, one where I blogged how I didn’t go to the gym today because I’m ill, and one where I called the office to say I wasn’t coming in.
When I woke at 4 I was convinced it was 5 or 6 O’Clock and that I was taking the day off work. Glanced over, realised it was only 4am and a small voice in the back of my mind said “GET UP AND GO TO THE GYM!”
It wasn’t the best session – push-ups were poor in particular. My dreams had set me up with a terrible state of mind. I felt better after the 5 minute bike warm-up, then proceeded to feel a little worse throughout, the sweating was profuse and at times felt like a cold sweat.
Couldn’t face eating a thing after the gym, got myself a little more sorted mentally on the bus, and grabbed a bacon and egg muffin with my coffee (not having breakfast is not a good thing)
A very interesting experience, especially the vivid dreams!
