Morning pain

Isn't Summer the time when you are suppose to be healthy and strong.? So far this summer I have become very ill twice. I have been working very hard on getting to the gym and getting fit. I have lost almost ten pounds since I started working out. I was at 155 and am now at 146. Before I go pregnant with Blake I was working out and got down to 138. This time I'm shooting for 140. I know, that's just a two pound difference, but two pounds can take a lot of time and make a big difference. This time around I'm looking to gain a bit more lean muscle. Last time I was just focusing on loosing weight. What does this have to do with being sick? Well, I just find it extremely frustrating to miss gym time. And everyone knows the first two weeks of exercising is the toughest. So I feel like I keep having to start over from scratch. It's just very frustrating. And then when I feel like I'm getting back to full strength, I get sick again.
Well, this morning I woke up and I can barely move my neck. I guess this is not "being sick" but it flows in the same vein of something failing with my body that inhibits me from working out effectively.
But I don't care. I'm going to the gym anyway. I can't lift weights because when I lift Blake I get shooting pain in my neck, but I can get my cycling class in.
Speaking of cycling, I have a cycling buddy named John. Last week was the first time we really talked and he told me he was going to save me a seat. Then I got sick and couldn't go. I saw him yesterday and he said I stood him up. Aw, I felt so bad. So I feel extra obligated to not stand up my cycling buddy. Not that I wouldn't want to be th anyway. I'm the token singer of the class.
