33 going on 70
That's what I've felt like this week. Old. Out of shape.
Saturday morning, I was fine...other than the weird muscle strain/cramp I got while singing. But right after lunch, I crashed hard. Got lightheaded, dizzy, and I felt like my heart was leaping out of my chest. I sat down and the feeling subsided a little, but it's hung with me on and off ever since it happened.
Stacey thinks I'm just exhausted and I'm experiencing the consequences of countless nights of terrible sleep. I don't know what's going on. I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow if I don't feel any better by then. Today, I'm not so lighthead, but I'm extremely tired (still not sleeping well), and my chest feels really tight in a chest-cold sort of way. No fever. No pains. No sweats. Just a general feeling of exhaustion and discomfort.
Maybe I've got pneumonia or something. Whee!
I dunno. Whatever the case, this is a wakeup call for me to eat better and live better. I should have more energy than I do. I should weigh about 20 lbs. less. I should have lower blood pressure. Besides, I have a family to care for and I'm still young enough to make some healthy changes in my lifestyle to make a real difference down the road.
If my body truly is a temple, then I'm a run-down bible church with yellow pews, noisy plumbing, and rats in the cellar. And I'm missing shingles on the roof.
