Hi everyone. I've been MIA for a whole myself. Last time I posted, I was getting ready for a major website redesign install and hoping it went well. It didn't go so well. Without going into too much detail, the install itself was about 6 hours longer than expected, which meant from 10pm Fri night until 12noon Sat. Though there were a few hiccups on Sat afternoon and Sun morning, we decided to leave it in for the start of the week (it's a Corporate website, so most traffic is business hours - Mon-Fri).
I flew out to Phoenix (one of our major office locations) on Sunday afternoon to sit with my development team through the week. Just after arriving Sun evening, we had a bit of a scare, but managed to fix the issue by around 1am Mon morning. Everything seemed to be going okay, a few hitches here and there, but nothing major. Australia was happy, Europe was happy, Latin America was happy, and then the U.S. came online and the whole thing ground to a halt. So, sadly, Monday night we backed out the U.S. and Canada so that the rest of the world could enjoy the new site.
UGH! I had no sleep all weekend before last and most of the week after. I even had to delay my flight home and take conference calls from the airport. No time to workout all week long, not that I had the energy anyway. When I came home Thu evening, I was looking forward to lots of sleep on the weekend, but I couldn't even salvage that. Fri was great - I did Cardio Fusion step only premix and I think I slept like 10 hours. Ahhhhhhh. . .. how refreshing.
Sat I did GS C&T and FIRM Abs 1&2, had a thoroughly relaxing day, and then disaster struck. I must have had some kind of a bug because I was up all night throwing up. Couldn't eat all day Sun, just laid in bed miserable all day, and I was up all night again. Same thing Mon, but I ended up working 10 hours from my home office. Then I was up all night again, but not throwing up - it was coming out the other end all night long. BLECH!!! Tue I managed some Gatorade, a little cereal, a slice or 2 of ww bread, and some chicken salad from Chick-fil-a. Worked from home again and got some decent sleep. Wed I had to go back to the office and I could actually eat pretty normally, just small portions. I did GS Back and Shoulders and got a good night's sleep.
By the time Thu rolled around, I felt halfway human. I spent another long day at the office, but only after GS Biceps, Kick Max Leg conditioning drills, and Step Blast. No trouble eating, though I was still careful just in case.
Friday's here again! I am so happy to be back at the weekend and feeling good. Well good unless you count how fried my lower body is after GS Legs and Core Max balanced core premix. I hope to get G-Force cardio in this afternoon and treat myself to a couple of bites of ice cream.
Sorry so long, and probably TMI, but I've been thinking about you all so much; I wanted to fill you in on where I've been. It's been a miserable couple of weeks, so I'm just figuring that means I'm a couple of weeks closer to the Roadtrip and meeting all of you!
I'm off now and got in a great run yesterday so I'm feeling good and recharged!
