I'm really not feeling well. Stuffy nose, headache, sore throat, exhaustion, heavy chest, whole nine yards...But I feel guilty not eating my calories and exercising. Yet I'm so weak I don't know how I'll do it...what would you do in this situation?

    Lots of fluids, Vit C... and my fav when I feel like you are is hot Dr Pepper with a shot of Jack Daniels or hot tea with jack and honey. Don't workout, you may weaken yourself and become more sick. Try to rest and let your body heal. Hope ya feel better soon :flowerforyou:

    yeah, lots of hot tea! your body won't want to work out anyways so it'll just be a waste of time...there's no harm in resting your sick body...it's obviously telling you something. don't worry about calories, diets, working out, nothing! just get better

    When i am sick, you need to rest and let your body recover before even thinking about exercise

    dont worry hun, just get some rest...the workout will be waiting when you are feelling better. As for the feeling crappy, hot tea with honey and lemon is great! and gargle with warm water with a TBS of salt in....rinse and spit, dont swallow....cause then that might make ya puke! but it will help the sore throat. Hope you feel better soon. No go drink some low sodium chicken broth and take a nap!

    You rest. Without a healed body, you have no working out. Your body is much like a car. If it's not fueled right, and constantly ran, it's going to clonk out. My advise is let yourself heal! You wont feel guilty if you eat right and drink your water.
    good luck!

    Rest and fluids, like everyone else said. Grandma's chicken soup is not a myth, it really helps! Get well soon!
