I managed to fight it off throughout my last semester of school and during my studying for the NCLEX but finally the outside world won and I got sick. I am very aware of doing everything you are supposed to do and try my best (wash hands, drink plenty of fluids, eat a healthy diet...the whole enough sleep thing well I'm working on that now).
I woke up Thursday with sinus's that wanted to explode but decided to head to yoga anyways. I ended up feeling better after the yoga class which is always a good sign. Unfortunately by the end of work Thursday night I was feeling very run down and exhausted. The next question always is - do I train when I'm sick? My girlfriend Laura has the general rule of thumb - above the neck it's go ahead and train, below the neck take time off but if there is a fever involved that's another whole ball game. Can I sweat out a fever? After some research and listening to my body it was the distinct conclusion of rest is best. So yoga was out yesterday, tried to find the motivation for calisthenics but that didn't happen either. There is just more sleep today and hoping to get back to training hard next week. This is not helping me with my cause to working out and getting in shape with my 2 virtual partners (we never have time to train together but are definitely keeping each other on track). The only good news is no food looks good to me so I'm not too worried about staying in my calorie range.
