Cold Comfort

Ok, are you ready for this cruel joke? Literally a few hours after I blogged on Sunday about how I was feeling recharged, I started getting sick. I guess I deserved it—sore throat, aches and pains and all. I woke up Monday morning feeling like a truck had hit me and looking like that zombie person you see on cold medicine commercials. Today I definitely took a turn for the better, meaning I ate more than toast for dinner, but my cough has been getting more consistent.
Fact: I haven’t made it into the shower the past two days, let alone to the gym.
Tomorrow I am going to focus on getting back to work, and Thursday, I’ll see how I feel about the gym. I went ahead and made an appointment with my trainer so that he could tell me how far to push—or not. I don’t want to get too far off track at the gym, but I know enough to let my body take the time it needs to recoup.
