The Flu

I felt a little yucky while swimming last Wednesday. I felt sick to my stomach and then very tired but headed to work anyway. I had a bad head ache and threw up all day. So, not much training went on the rest of the week. I taught spin and pilates classes on Saturday but felt sick afterwards. The good news is that I feel better today and have eaten everything in sight so I am going to try for an easy swim tomorrow and some weights in the afternoon. I am teaching pilates tomorrow at the Y so I will atleast get a good ab workout... I hate being sick!

This week, I am going to take it a bit easy so that my body will not revolt with more sickness. This is the pattern for me. Start to feel good, put a little too much on my plate (work 60 plus hours, train 10 hours, and teach 8 or 10 classes at the gym per week while studying for an additional cert), and then get sick. The truth is I really don't like sleep and I really don't like free time. I like structure, organization, and to get a lot done. This has to stop in the middle of March when official training starts. There will have to be a bit more training and a lot more sleep.

So, I am officially declaring myself "unsick" and ready to train next week. Bring on Monday!
