How do you guys deal with sickness during your weightloss journey?
I want to make sure, that I dont get off track with my program (Insanity), but I woke up this morning feeling like complete crap.
Do I force myself to still do the workout, or do I just continue to watch my caloreis and resume after a couple days of rest?

I've had a pretty unbearable kidney infection for the last week and could barely move ( finally went to the doc day before last and got some antibiotics) but I have not worked out for about 6 days now and although I haven't eaten a whole lot I did drink 2 32oz bottles of cranberry juice (loads of sugar) and not to my surprise I gained about 2lbs but I'm not gonna sweat it. I feel a little better today (2nd day on antibiotics ) but I'm still not gonna go run or lift heavy for another couple of days, maybe just a walk and some low weight reps. I think you need to take care of your body which includes giving it the rest it is telling you it needs. Rest up and drink loads of water0 -
Continue calories if able. Take rest today and try tomorrow if your not worse feeling.0

Thanks guys!
I will see how I feel tonight (maybe I can squeeze my workout in then).
I will keep my calories in line while not working out. Will a few days off of the macros make a big difference?0 -
Yeah, I'd see how you feel and maybe just do walking or yoga instead of insanity. If you do insanity, might be a good idea to do the one you find the easiest instead of the one on the schedule. Take care of yourself!0

I hope you feel better! :flowerforyou:
I would try to follow calories, but maybe give exercise a rest.0
