Day Sixty-Six- Feeling A Bit Better, But Man I Should Of Taken It Easy!

So after the past two days of being sick, I woke up this morning, not feeling like I had a full porcupine with its quills sticking straight out in my throat. It was a little bit sore, but not too bad. So, I got up and got the kids off to school. The only thing that I did do different this morning, was that I had to have breakfast before I worked out. So I made sure to have it an hour before I worked out.

I already decided before I went to the gym, that I would just walk, not really pushing it, since I hadn't felt well the past two days. But, when I got to the gym, while I was doing my 30 minutes of cardio, I started to feel a bit better that I thought I would give a 1-minute jog a try. It wasn't so bad. I did notice that my cardiovascular was doing better because in that 1-minute, I wasn't feeling like my heart was going to beat out of my chest & that my lungs weren't going to burst into flames. So 20 minutes into it, I did another 1-minute jog.

The only gross thing about the 30 minutes, was this lady that was on the treadmill next to me. She left her empty water bottle on the treadmill, and she didn't even wipe down the treadmill after she sweated all over it. I think that is one of the things that is getting people sick. So the next time I am on the treadmill, I am going to have to wipe it down before I workout as well as after.

The rest of the day of the workout, I definitely overdid it!!! My body ached all over & my body was extremely worn down throughout the day. Even though I got some really good sleep, I was completely exhausted. But overall, I am glad that I didn't take 2 days off & made it to the gym for my workout!
