I feel sooo relieved and accomplished at the same time , Monday i started back my journey of getting back in shape . 04/28/19

( March 2019 ) i stopped running Track due to my health . I started to build up strong mucus issues because of the way i ate . I got carried away with the saying " I have a high metabolism so nothing will happen to me " haha i thought wrong , that's when i hit rock bottom . I ate hotfries the day before or maybe day of  when i had to run ( I loved hot fries , i loved salty and hot things ) . I thought it was okay for me to eat often .

So one day , I  was working out on the track with 2 other athletes. Our coach Ralph Taylor was timing us as we did 250s . After i was done I felt mucus rising and i had a hard time breathing . I was so scared , I would make it worse by panicking .

While riding home with a Trackmate it's like it was getting thicker and  just was  getting worse . I'm in the car acting a fool banging my arm like damn it's really stuck . They tell me to calm down and hands me a cold rag to cool me off . Did that work ? Nope but it felt good because it was HOT!

I get home and try to hack it up and it's not working .At this point I'm trying to stay calm and not freak myself out to passing out . I just waited till my mom got home because she always knows what to do what's so ever .

Minutes after i get home she arrives with groceries. I let her know what's going on with me and she lets me know what to Do. I get a pot of water and let it steam up because that's supposed to thin the mucus out . Guess what ? That doesn't seem to work either !

Well I can't remember too much after that but i do know later in that day my Auntie Ann ( my grandma's sister ) died 😞 I was sad and i think i was crying . It seemed a lot happened that day ! I was torn ! I messed up emotionally , mentally and physically that day .

After that those events that happened that day ... i stopped running which was the worse mistake but it humbled me ! It made me feel like i can't keep pushing things to the side that make me feel uncomfortable because later I'll either pay for it or it'll effect everything in life .

I had became  very indecisive , I was tired more , I became lazy, everything was thrown off just because i stopped doing something i loved doing!  I never knew one thing could make everything depend on it honestly !
