Well, I slept most of yesterday (except my brief foray to the 'puter to check in) and about 10 hours last night... I was SOOOO achey, it hurt to just lie there. Woke up feeling MUCH better and NO FEVER!!!! I was around 100.2 almost all day, down to 99.6 (with Tylenol) for a while in the evening... I did eat some dinner finally too...
WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I logged my food (LOL!) even though it wasn't exactly on plan
... actually, I thought about giving in and eating real "comfort" food (like ice cream and chocolate) but I didn't... I had some spaghetti w/ meat sauce that DH threw together for dinner (yum, but of course it was white pasta) and then fruit for dessert...
Today I will be back on track with food.

Take it easy a couple of days and get better. You don't want to make yourself sicker.
I have my fingers crossed that it's a 24 hour bug  |

Please don't over do it. You need your rest and fluids and then when you are 100% you can get right back to it.
I'm sorry that you are so sick, Bytsi. Get better soon!

So, it's probably just some stupid virus that'll come & go in the next couple of days. Then you'll be back on your feet and back in the gym. That is, if you REST and let your body fight off the virus. |
Wow... I'm thinking ya'll know me too well, all the warnings not to overdo it
I did go to the gym this morning BUT all I did was walk on a tmill at 3mph for 30 minutes... got my HR to a whopping 85 bpm and didn't even breathe hard. Mostly did it cuz I was worried about being stiff from lifting then not moving at all for 24 hours... I even read a magazine while I was walking, so you know there was no intensity!
Assuming I'm fine (and I have no active plans the rest of the day) I think I'll pick up on my regular schedule tomorrow (HIIT followed by SS cardio) and then lift as planned on Monday. I won't redo the same A workout, but I'll probably do an extra workout A or even an extra A&B at the end of stage 4 before going on to 5...
THANK YOU to everyone for the "get well soon" wishes... it worked!!
(Oh - and I got hold of my GF and we can go see "sex and the city" tonight instead - yay!!!!!!!!!!
