Re: [Body for Life Women's Club]Out sick

[Guest guest]

Hello Ladies,

Guess I just need a pep talk. I fell ill with a really bad sore throat,

congested, etc etc on Sunday, after my workout. I wasnt feeling the best Sat

night and I still managed to get in my workout Sunday. Monday is my rest day. I

also called into work and just slept the day away. But I did manage to squeak

down all the food. Tuesday I went into work in the afternoon for a couple hours.

But, I was able to sleep in and push myself through my HIIT workout and abs

workout. Today is my first full day back to work and I just couldnt get out of

bed at 5am to do my Lower body workout. Now Im really beating myself up that I

missed. I brought workout clothes to see how I feel when I leave work, but by

then it will be 7pm and I may be exhausted. Im already feeling tired and worn

out. Pep talk anyone? This is the first time Ive missed a workout and Im 1/2 way

down with my 2nd challenge! I feel awful about missing!

check out the hussman website on what you should and shouldn't do when you're

sick. Don't make yourself feel so guilty, you wouldn't do that to anyone else

if they were sick, give yourself some slack!!!

Uh, when you get sick, the best thing you can do for both your results

and your recovery is REST. If you never rest, you never get better.

You can make what would have been a three day cold last weeks. By

working out when you're sick, your body has to decide whether it's

going to repair your muscles or fight the infection, and it ends up

doing both of them very half-assed. So, you don't make any fitness

gains AND you don't get better.

Once you're ready to hit the gym again, you'll know it and you'll be

able to ease back into it. It might be tomorrow, it might be in

another day or two. Listen to your body. You can't go wrong doing

that.

Read the part under Plan Your Response to Obstacles in Advance.

It's Hussman's take on the whole working out while sick issue.

Thanks for posting the link I can never find anything since he

rearranged the site. Hussman totally cracks me up. He says:

If you've ever visited an intensive care unit at the hospital, you've

probably noticed that a lot of the patients look kind of thin and

gaunt. What can we learn from this? Clearly, getting yourself

critically ill is an EXCELLENT way to lose fat! This is particularly

true if you can also give yourself a screaming high fever, which is of

course, thermogenic.

Once I've been admitted to the ICU, I like to keep a couple of 90

pound dumbbells on either side of the hospital bed, so I can blast out

a few extra reps after being defibrillated. This is the kind of

determination that will keep you fit and active until you die.

HA!

OK Thanks Ladies. I do tend to beat myself up about things that are just out of

my control. Ill let myself recover and then get back into my workouts. Right now

Im so congested I cant breathe, so a workout is silly. Im just addicted to the

workouts now!

This is morbidly funny - my mom is sick right now and as result has

lost a LOT of weight. We used to joke about the thighs that run in our

family (small women, big thighs) and now she doesn;t have them any

more! I told her it was the one good thing about breast cancer.

Unfortunately, she can't enjoy it...

This thread has been good for me! I just had sinus surgery yesterday and I

can't work out for a week! I am not liking it at all.

Don't you just love sarcasm?! I get myself in trouble all the time

because I think that everyone should understand and love sarcasm.

Bet you can relate! ;o)

I had to take a week off when I had Lasik earlier this year. I can't tell

you how good it is for you though. You will be fine. Your muscle will not

disappear

Diane

although I do kind of like the idea of keeping db's by the bed....just in case
