I don't like that math. I think that math is stupid.
I went home last night and plopped on the couch and fell asleep until Hubby came home at 8pm. Then I was awake for about an hour before heading straight to bed.
My hopes were high. But I was very disappointed this morning when I woke up with a sore throat again and what feels like the weight of the world on me trying to claw my way out of bed. My pillow is screaming in agony as I abandon it for the long and not so prosperous journey to microsoftown.
Oh how I would love to sleep for the next two days only to wake up feeling refreshed and energized and ready to hit the ground running, literally.
Now, I'm sort of struggling with myself. Here's my struggle:
- I don't feel good
- But it's not so bad that I've got my head in the toilet so suck it up and do the damn thing (gym)
- That's true. Maybe I should just try to power through.
- But then again, if I am just barely starting to get sick, I don't want to overdo myself and end up getting really sick if I could take care now and avoid it getting worse.
- But what if I'm just tired and not getting sick at all?
- And it sort of depends on what kind of sick I might be getting. Could it be just a little cold or the big nasty scary flu that everyone is freaking out about?
- If it's a cold then stop whining pussy. But if it's the flu then you should rush home and lock the doors behind you right away so you don't get lynched.
- To error on the side of too careful or not careful enough?
- I want to run on the stupid treadmill
- I want to swim
- I want to spend an hour on the eliptical
- I want to play racquetball
- I want to lift weights with all the muscletards

i feel for you... when your not feeling well it sucks big time... when I dont feel well, I know I dont feel good about myself...I always tell myself its a new day tomorrow... and usually make myself do what i dont want to do...
Slow down! You work very hard and maybe your body is sending you a message to give it some TLC. Err on the side of caution is my motto and it has served me well! Take care of yourself Salina!!! You are the least wimpiest person I know so stop the self doubt and beating yourself up for being human and needing a rest.

Aww... I hope you start feeling better soon.
I go through the same thing everytime I'm feeling a little junk but if you're not having headaches and stuff maybe just a short walk on the treadmill... just to get the blood flowing?
But rest is good too!
No, You definitely need to rest and get better! I learned once that when you exercise you open up a 30 minute window for getting sick. Your immune system drops drastically. You don't want to make it go any lower than it already is!
Yes, it sucks, but your progress won't stop if you rest for a day or two. Trust yourself and your dedication to this process (plus us and your accountabilibuddy to kick yourself in the booty if you malinger too long.
Plus, if you're contagious, then going to the gym might be a little selfish. I know that you're a planner, but illness is beyond anyone's planning or control. Why don't use the next few days as an opportunity for some gentle medication and pampering, or "self-care" as you all it?
Gargle with warm salt water, too. If there's an infection there, it can draw it out.
um ... that was supposed to be "meditation" not "medication," though now that I think of it, if you believe in herbal immune boosters, it might be a good time to take some :)
