My trip to the Emergency Room

So yeah... This past Sunday I went to the Emergency Room at Queens.


The events that transpired aren't that exciting, but I guess I should write about it more in detail.

First, my weight last week.  160.2 pounds - this kinda fits into the story in a weird way.


So last Wednesday, I cooked dinner like normal, it was kinda exciting because it was my first time cooking dinner in a while - with Safeway ground turkey and the next day I wasn't feeling pretty good.  
I was pretty much taking #2s left and right and vomiting anything I ate or drank.

Friday was pretty much the same thing.  I even went home early.  I tried to make an appointment to see the doctor but apparently, they are busy and my insurance can't be used at any of the urgent care clinics in the area - so I just went home.

Saturday - repeat, but I started to feel really weak and I stopped eating because I couldn't keep anything in.  I started to feel super bad, really weak.  It was from the dehydration.

Fortunately, I didn't have any other symptoms, no fever, headache, just extreme dehydration and weakness.


At the end, I ended up losing 8 pounds, not by choice.

The emergency room couldn't do anything for me except give me an IV and give me some meds to calm my stomach.  They couldn't fix the root of the problem.

So I pooped for another day and Tuesday I am well.

MORAL of the story:  Apparently, you can eat street food from all around the world and questionable things from questionable places - but don't eat ground turkey from Safeway.

First time cycling in forever!!

Back in the day, I use to ride my bikes over mountains, across cities, past bridges as far as I possibly could.  Crazy part is, because I still use the same tracking app - RunKeeper, the LAST time I rode on a bike was back in 2012 - when I was in Florida!


Oh my times have changed!  My first time on my bike since 2012 was crazy fun - I remembered exactly why I love to ride my bike... 

I went on a quick bike ride before heading out to work yesterday - while I was sick!  Long story short, I've been sick since yesterday and I'm finally getting over the mild case of food poisoning.


Well, a lot more training to get to 545 miles!
