No routine, and no workout today. 😦

I started feeling sick yesterday and came home from work early. Grabbed my laptop so I could work from home. My morning workout yesterday was SO hard even though it was half the routine that I usually do. I guess now it makes sense. My body was already fighting whatever bug I got. I felt really dehydrated. I hardly ate. Drank a ton of water. And went to sleep super early. Slept almost 12 hours.

Today, I woke up feeling like I have a cold. Not like a flu and not as bad as I felt yesterday. But still stuffy nose, headache, brain fog, and lethargy. Took a COVID test just in case. Luckily it was negative.

Alarm went off and I knew that I shouldn’t workout today. I think it’s important to know our body. Listen to our body. This morning I wasn’t tired. I wasn’t sleepy. I wasn’t being lazy. My muscles weren’t sore, stiff, or exhausted. I just knew that my body needed to rest so that I can fight off whatever virus I have.

Feeling a little better this evening. Hopefully, I’ll be ready to get back in the gym tomorrow and get back to work too. I really like the morning workout routine and healthy eating habits that I’ve set up for myself.

They really help my mood, mental health, and especially help me keep stress levels manageable. I have so much more energy, focus, and stamina to deal with the demands of work, family, and life.

Plus, I can literally feel my body getting leaner. I’ve got more muscle and less fat in such a short period time just by the consistent exercise and healthier eating habits I’ve been practicing. I’m to the point where I’ve had to buy new shirts and will probably have to buy new pants soon.

Hopefully, I can get back on it tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted. 🙂
