I NEVER skip working out. I even worked out a couple of years ago when I was sick for almost a month and later found out that I had whooping cough (this is why you wipe crap down in the gym...sickies like me)! I came home from our trip last week with a cold...feelin pretty bad...but not the worst I've felt. For some reason, I have just wanted to rest. I don't know...maybe I'm getting old...or maybe I'm lazy...or maybe I'm getting smarter. I just realized that I have to allow my body to heal...to get well...otherwise I keep tearing it down and I end up sick for a month. So, I made a conscious decision to rest. I wanted to workout with J, but instead I stayed in bed til noon...ate lunch...got a few groceries...and trained my client. I also am trying to turn over a new leaf and go to bed earlier. I train my body like an athlete, but I fuel it with junk and treat it l did in college...go go go on NO sleep. I want to work on the diet part too...but right now I'm taking baby steps...tryin not to over train and trying to get more sleep and better "recovery". My goal is to be IN BED by 10:30, so that's all for today!
REST/RECOVERY
