Being Ill Sucks...

After feeling pretty good about missing the bug/virus both Callum and then Scott had, I was hit Thursday night and have been as sick as a dog since then. Temperature spiking to 102deg and just having no energy so needless to say no working out for me! I did take Lupe for a bike ride along the beach during the day on Thursday, how gorgeous is this? makes you WANT to go for a run or a ride.


So this week I think I made it to 2 or 3 workouts. We tried to go for a walk today, just a walk, but  was bathed in sweat and out of breath! Not good! Resting up and seeing how I feel Monday. At least I have had no appetite so eating loads isn't an issue!

Though I should add here, that if you are ill with a virus or bug then working out is the last thing you should be doing.There is a risk that hard cardiovascular work when you have a virus can work the virus round your system fast and you can end up iller than you were before. So REST FLUIDS REST FLUIDS AND REST AND FLUIDS!

I hope to be back to fighting fit Monday for a new week of workouts and exercise.

Happy Blitzing!

    Hey, I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you will get better soon, and get back out there (on that beautiful beach) and go for the run you wanted :)
    Last week, I managed to start working out , I did Taebo twice, separetedby a day of rest, and on rest of the week, 20-30 min cardio on elliptical, and eventually light walking with my baby boy and hubby after he gets back from work.
    I kept my caloric intake at 1,800, +100-200 depending on how much I exercised, though I should admit I had a cheat day yesterday, my husband bought a pizza (a medium one, so I wouldn't binge too much :D) but you know what, it didn;t feel like before, I seriously got used to my new eating habits, that I don't really want to eat anything different (apart from chocolate, which is my weakness, but a bar of dark chocolate every once in a while isn't as sinful, right?) moderation is the key to any diet, we can enjoy but in moderation.
    This morning I did 30 minutes of cardio, and man, may I say it feels good, all the sweat, plus the achy muscles from the workout (I only managed 2X7 push-ups, but I'll get better ;-)
    wish me luck for my weekly weigh in at tuesday :)
    And for you, all the best, wish you'll get better ASAP.. xoxo
