Mission 2, Day 57: Still under the weather

Today was not a good day healtwise. I am back to feeling under the weather. The flu has given way to a massive cold, complete with massive congestion and a fever. I need to pay attention to my body.
Tomorrow I will hit the gym and see how I feel. If I am not good enough to do my squats, I will throw in the towel and surrender for another day.
I'm off to bed.

Workout Log:
Today was a rest day.
Thought for the Day:
Just when things get better something else happens. You just have to pick yourself up, brush yourself off and do what you can do.
Until tomorrow...GET BACK TO LIFTING!









Sorry to hear that you are still not feeling well - rest up so you don't overdo it! That stuff's hard to get over! Talk to you soon!

Sorry to hear you are still not well. Hope you can hit those squats man! I was looking forward to seeing some big numbers this week.

Hi there. Sorry to hear you're feeling icky...i understand totally, i missed a whole week of working out for the same reason a couple weeks ago.
Take care of yourself tho~ vitamins, chicken soup and vitamin C! It's worth the downtime to feel better again!
Best wishes!

Christina, thanks for the advice and wishes. You are right. Although I miss my training, I miss feeling good even more.

Mike! I'm really disappointed to see you still not feeling well. Man only a few days left until your reveal and you can't train! Can't wait until you are well enough to show me those big numbers again.
Get well mate!
