Well, okay, maybe calling it a disaster is a little overdramatic, but it's definitely bothersome to come down with the flu when you're trying to do P90X! I woke up with a cough Monday morning, but didn't think too much of it at first, maybe it was just cold dry air bugging me or something. As the day went on, I was beginning to notice funny little aches here and there throughout my body, which I just attributed to soreness from the workouts. No big deal, right? However, Since my cough didn't seem to be going away by the time I got home from work, I wanted to be on the safe side, so I took it easy with my workout. It was core synergistics, so I decided to lay off on stuff that might get me breathing heavy and aggravate my cough, and just focus on the strength exercises. Hopefully, whatever this bug is wouldn't get too bad...
It didn't really work out that way. When I woke up Tuesday morning, there was no mistake that I was sick. Body aching, head pounding, head and chest congestion, coughing more than the day before, and just plain not feeling good. It's a big week at work, so this couldn't have come at a worse time. I medicate, and tough it out, and try not to breathe on anybody! I make it through the workday, but no workout for me on Tuesday. I hoped that I would be on the mend tomorrow
Well, tomorrow is now today, and I feel just as lousy as I did yesterday :P I was able to go home from work a little early today, which was nice, I'm skipping the workout again today though, ugh! I really hate skipping workouts, but right now, just thinking of doing one makes me hurt everywhere! Obviously, I need to let myself rest and recover, otherwise, this will just drag out even longer. It's good to know I can repeat a week if something like this happens. So for now, I will focus on resting up and taking care of myself, and when I'm better, I can get back to bringing it!
That is so sad...get better soon!
ReplyDeletePei pa koa is pretty decent cough medicine (from herbal as I remembered), great non alcoholic medicine, some western cough medicine are more effective, but this is non drowsy.
