Health Link: Looking to gain muscle? Buy weights from Fitness Superstore

Pity Party, Plz.

Urgh, I am so ill. I have had a really dry, tickly cough for a few days but otherwise felt okay. I bought some strepsils yesterday before heading to the gym, but once working out I soon realised that all was not well in camp Groovybabe.

I did try to do as much of a workout as I could but it was nowhere near my normal length or intensity. I didn’t do the last 5 mins of the cross trainer and where I normally finish up with a 15 minute cooldown I just had to finish up after 5 minutes. At least I didn’t feel shattered afterwards, which was handy as I had to go food shopping. I just felt really ill. So I ended up just getting a couple of essentials to see me through the next few days and heading home. My bus was a while so I ended up going to pick up a Brita water filter which doubles up as a filter and a 1.5l jug.

I got home and just was feeling much worse. I chatted to my best friend online and we arranged to do this massive outting today (if I was better), something that I was really looking forward to and I set my alarm this morning but no matter how long I tried to pretend I would cope in the end I had to admit defeat and cancel today. I then went back to bed and slept the morning away.

Oh yeah, I forgot something.

I ended up having what seemed like a massive binge last night but which didn’t affect the scales today, luckily. I went wrong when I decided I was too ill to cook last night and just had soup with bread… oh and a small advoado on toast… then two hours later a steak and kidney pie… and then I couldn’t sleep at 2am and was stressed at having to wake up at 7am and found myself downstairs where I had some peach nut bar, a packet of salt and vinegar crisps and then I found a tub of 16 mini meringues… oh dear! My defense is I was ill and feeling weak, oh and TOM is visiting at the moment, too… and I am sticking to it!

And I am still ill. I hope I am well enough for my scheduled trip to the gym tomorrow.

    Awww… I hope you feel better soon!

    And you know, we all fall off the weight loss wagon at some point. Usually over and over and over. :)

    Hope you are taking it easy and feeling better. Don’t feel bad if you aren’t up to the gym tomorrow - a walk might be best if you are still feeling weak - you don’t want to over do it. Hope you get to do your outing soon.

    Okay chicky…. take it easy now. :) Soup and bread is yummy. I found low cal soups, I think I’ll try one today. I hope they aren’t gross.

    You’re allowed to indulge up to your eyeballs every so often. Just as long as you get right back on track afterwards!

    Hope you’re feeling better! Get some rest :)

    I just got over a cold last week and somehow the lack of energy turned into lack of motivation. grr. I’m finally getting back into my routine. Take it easy while you need to and come back when your body lets you know it’s up for it!

    Thanks, guys. I don’t think I will go to the gym today. I feel a bit better but not completely. I do have to go out today though so I will get some exercise. Thanks for your thoughts. xx
