Shortly after returning home from Hawaii I noticed I was getting tired earlier in the evening. I kept writing it off to our whirlwind trip, but within a couple of days realized it was something much more. I had brought home with me the ultimate souvenir ... a virus!
Despite my best efforts to ward it off with Zicam it finally took a good hold on me. By Sunday all I could do was lay on the couch ... ALL DAY! Tony kept saying "you won't sleep tonight as you've slept all day." But boy was he wrong! I slept for probably 36 hours straight! Monday was my day to hit the mall so I bucked it up and got all my last-minute shopping done, but by 4:00p I was exhausted again.
Today I am actually feeling better and except for a lingering and annoying cough I'm pretty much back to good. But of course, being the good wife that I am, I shared my virus with my dear husband who woke up with a sore throat this morning. :(
One more day and I'll be back to the workouts. Right now it's really a matter of breathing ... too deep a breath and the coughing begins again. I once heard that if you're sick from the shoulders up you can (and should) continue to work out ... but anything below that you should wait it out. So that's what I'm going to do.
Glad to be home ... glad to be on the mend. Looking forward to working out again.
