Is anyone else sick out there? I'm feeling sorry for myself as I have a cold just in time for a four-day weekend :(

Just wondering if anyone else out there is suffering and if you are continuing your workouts. I haven't worked out since Saturday and it's killing me.

    Ok, so I'm not the only one who got a random cold in July! Totally not fun... I feel you on that!

    As for your question about working out, I am not working out until I get better. Some people are strong enough to be sick and still get a workout (albeit a lighter workout) in but I am not one of those people. For me, getting sick is my body telling me that I need to rest. And after taking a nap last night and then going to bed early, I felt slightly better today. Resting helps your body get better quicker so you can resume normal life/workouts. If you try to push yourself too much while you're down, your body will take longer to get better.

    I'm not a doctor, but that's how my body operates. I hope you feel better soon! :smile:

    i'm not sick but i do have poison ivy. i'm super allergic to it so i'm on prednisone and benedryl until friday at least so i'll be a bit of a zombie for the holiday. i'm also not supposed to sweat so, no workouts. of course, that's probably for the best anyway.
    hope everybody feels better soon.

    Awe, I'm sorry you're sick too! I agree with you. Some people say sweat it out but if sitting at my desk is draining I can't imagine working out. Thanks and I hope you feel 100% for tomorrow!

    Ugh poison ivy is the worst! I'm super allergic to it. I even get it from smoke if it's on the wood in a fire I'm around. I totally feel your pain and hope it goes away quickly!

    OMG I'm sick too! I started to notice it on Friday.

    I'm not alone! O_o

    I've got tickets to the MN/NY baseball game tomorrow and will be sending my husband's friend with him, in place of myself. GRRR!
