My Body Says Slow Down

Day 15

You know how it feels – you get on a fitness kick and you go at it full steam. You give it your all and your body says, “WTF! I can’t take all this stress!” And the next thing you know you are sick, injured, or both. Well today folks I felt like I was coming down with a cold, and I thought about working out but then I thought about how my immune system was low, and that I was inviting illness by working out.

I told my dearest hubbie about not feeling like working out and he told me I should just do it. I am glad I didn’t listen to him as I felt worse as the day progressed. You know, I guess I was feeling it yesterday when I did the Body Bar on the ball workout but I flicked off the ick feelings I had and did that workout. Afterward it was obvious I could have done a lot more with it but I just couldn’t muster enough effort.

I feel a little bad about not working out today but I know it is the right thing to do. If I push myself I might just make myself have to take an even longer break due to illness. And that would suck.
