Resolutions

OK, so I mentioned in my last post that I don't normally make these. As I sit here on my couch, sick, I have decided to make one. As many of you know I struggle with asthma. I am also prone to sinus infections. Common cold? Turns into an infection. Sore throat, hey there sinus infection. What does all this have to do about resolutions? Well, when I contract a sinus infection, my asthma gets really bad. Although I have done and continue to do almost everything I can from a medical standpoint to reduce these infections, they still occur. So, my resolution this year is to try and eliminate these infections by doing one simple thing...Keeping a daily log.

Each day I plan on recording the following:
Training, including core and stretching
Diet, including alcohol if applicable
Sleep the previous night
Stress level 1-10 scale
Wellness level 1-10 scale
Morning weight

As the season progresses I am confident that keeping a daily tally of my activities will help my coach and I avoid illness when possible and recover faster when infected. Hopefully this helps. I am confident however that it won't hurt :)

Below are some pictures from our New Years eve ski the other day.


Check out that powder!!!

  1. I hope you find a way to kick those infections. During 2010 I was reluctant to travel for work because every time I would fly I'd come home with a sinus or ear infection. Turns out, a couple Sudafed to dry things out works wonders for me.

    That powder does look nice...and so does the bike!! Well done :)
