After a disastrous dehydration episode on Sunday + a high glycemic meal at church & long drive afterward, I came home & passed out, only to require 9 quarts of water all night long, up and down, to rehydrate correctly.
The extreme dehydration kicked off a full episode of acute psoriatic full body arthritis, migraine vascular headache, high blood sugar, when I woke up for work naturally at 5 am today I had to call out of work sick.
I was unable to see or balance, felt like a train wreck, pounding migraine, joints all over, especially my neck was on fire with pain & inflammation, my sinus was clogged over, I could barely breathe through my nose, I keep pooping gas & liquid, peeing, like the water would not stick to me, my electrolytes got out of balance, I drenched multiple sets of underwear and my sheets. I coughed up colorful junk from my lungs after finally waking up for the day at 8:20 am, the latest I have slept in, in years.
To recover, get rid of the headache & feel better, I drank two black tea's with nothing added, took my vitamins & minerals, some NMN, more water, no food. Played Forza Horizon 2 & beat the Bucket List Challenge after 7 sessions of attempts, 140 tries, finally got it :) watched YouTube videos on the TV. Hand washed dishes for 1.5 hours to help clear the kitchen. Working on laundry all day.
I had eaten 3 hard boiled eggs, a premade plant based packed Orgain protein shake, a custom whole milk protein shake, with collagen & colostrum added. I also ate a prepackaged meat stick. The idea was to stay ketogenic in terms of macros.
Blood glucose was 98 on waking, hovering between 91 and 101 all day, including before and after working out, so glass stabile at an average of 100, a tad elevated.
I was feeling a bit spaced & tired like falling asleep, so instead I put on the Meta 2 VR headset, calibrated Room Scale for the floor area, launched the Les Mills Body Combat App, did the K.O 4 10.00 Min workout, then put on warm clothes & headed outside for a long walk hike.
432 FT Elevation Gain, up 923 ft, down 501, 400 total calories, 333 active calories, 17'05"/mi Average Pace, 2.37 mi total, 40 min 39 seconds, pulse range 102-171 average 139 beats per minute. I have a resting hear rate of 51, that goes down to 44 at the deepest stages of sleep at night, occasionally hitting a low of 39 bpm if I am very faithful to workout like noted above at least 3 times per week.
I have been so sick with flu's and colds recently, that I fell off the workout wagon, though I also kicked coffee & have not had any alcohol for more than 30 days now :) I am focusing on stating hydrated, more active in terms of regular workouts, & keeping my blood glucose low & failing on that point because of eating carb heavy foods lately, when I know better. I feel like a failure for having to call out sick again, only to feel better after working out later in the day, when it finically got above freezing. I will be retiring to work tomorrow & no workout, since I give my self a "anabolic rest day" after a "workout day" & sometimes two days of rest & recovery.
