Eating healthy is works wonders for me along with exercise & some weights. I feel so fantastic I want Everyone to eat this way.
At first, you think you are missing out if you’re not eating all the treats but not long after you realize it’s not a sacrifice but a tremendous gain.

Better to be fully recouped than to jump back in and risk an injury. I’d rather lose a few days than lose 6 months from a pulled muscle.

Yeah…I asked some friends around hear and they say that the only reason I get sick is because I’m run down and that I should stay down for the count until I can get my footing under me. There’s no reason to get back into the fight if there’s no fight left…so I shall rest, recoop and then hit it hard on Monday…I think that stopping at the first sign of sickness this time has saved me from being REALLY sick (heh, I’m starting to understand my body). When I push myself too much I end up being sick for months…ugh…I’m already feeling better…I may be able to do a nice restorative yoga tomorrow if I keep going on the up…and by Monday back in the gym (but only if my bod says it’s ok)

Thanks for the reassuring info

Do you keep working through the sick or do you lay off until the bod/immune system is up and running again?

I always wait. take a break. and start back slowly when I feel 100%.

some of it is that I so rarely get sick that I seize the chance/reminder that time to rest is important and some of it is that I need to BE SICK AND GET DONE WITH BEING SICK and I think (fear?) that if I work out while Im sick it will lastandlastandlast.

help at all?

Here’s my whine for the day (1 a day is good for the health I hear). Everytime I start up working-out regiment on a regular basis again, I get sick within the next week or two…Granted I have an insane schedule, but don’t most working people with a life? I want to get your opinion: Do you keep working through the sick or do you lay off until the bod/immune system is up and running again? It seems to keep throwing me off track and it’s starting to become an annoying cycle. Do I have health problems…not really, just the basic lack of sleep due to the day job and having my career on top of that. I’ve got to get & stay in shape…HELP!

Excellent post, you know I think in the final analysis it is about loving the skin you are in and then doing what you know in your heart is best for you. I am a student of eating clean and training for power. embrace the beauty of you everyone and treat that body of yours with lots of tender loving care.

Crowded gyms? My gym has 100 cardio machines, and when I go at least 90 of them are in use! So you can imagine the fun at finding the DBs you want or a decent bench. Improvisation in my gym life! But I love it when it’s crowded and full of LIFE. Even if it means that a couple weeks ago I did my bench presses on the cable-row bench. (saved me moving! It’s all good!)

That said, I would NEVER walk to a gym in the dark. Too great a chance of someone not seeing me. Driving to the gym on my way to work would do very nicely, TYVM.

And on eating? I had “that” talk with myself this morning. You know that: you’ve gained some weight back, and you weren’t really where you wanted to be to begin with, so let’s be a big girl and start eating carefully again, and working a bit harder and try to rid yourself of some of that excess body fat.

Sigh. The next few weeks are going to be so much fun!
