For those of you who have been reading this blog, or have recently seen one of my business cards with this website listed on it, you may have noticed that there has been absolutely nothing going on here for the past two months. This is the equal yet opposite reaction to a life with far too much going on.
Unfortunately, this has also caused a deep dent in my ability to keep up with my Reliv business and even my own health.
The first trouble that I ran into was that the show I was producing was getting ready to open, so we transitioned into what the theatre aptly refers to as "hell week." This is the week when all the major technical elements fall into place and everything gets ready for the opening. This is also the week when the production team tends to stay at the theatre until 5 in the morning, having been there since 7 the previous evening. I went home, slept, woke up, then ran around trying to find props and other necessities. I lacked the time to make my daily shakes, I started drinking sodas again, and my sleeping patterns got thrown so off track I may as well have been living in another time zone. The show opened on Friday, and the next day I was hit with a 103 fever, I was extremely ill, and could not get out of bed, drive myself anywhere, or go to the gala opening of the show. It was the sickest I had been in a while.
On the other side of life, I was still going to school full time, and finals were coming up. Lots of projects, lots of studying, lots of difficulty keeping up with Reliv. A few weeks ago, I was hit again, even harder. I spent the entire night shaking violently, and my fever came back. Twice in two months, I was more sick than I can remember.
It's taken a while, but I'm finally getting back into my previous habits of drinking my shakes daily. The one thing I've learned from this experience is that the five minutes it takes a shake is definitely worth the 24 hours I will most definitely miss out on if I don't keep up with the regimen. These products work, and they give me the nutrition I need in order to live this kind of life. Just like you need to have a certain amount of income before you can afford to live an expensive lifestyle, you need a certain amount of health before you can afford to live a nutritionally taxing lifestyle.
