I know some of the ladies on this board have been sick lately, but guess who has it now? Yup, me.

I developed a cold this past weekend. Yesterday, I took the day off and I think I'll also take off today as well so I do not infect the office.

I'm bummed though (well, not completely!) that I can't put in a workout this morning. Certain parts of my body are still aching from the last workout, so maybe an extra day or two of not working out won't matter. It's best that I avoid working out and tend to my illness, right? Don't wanna get more sick. Plus, I have class tomorrow night and it's important that I be there. So, I guess today, we focus on healing instead of working out. My next scheduled workout day is Thursday. Maybe I'll feel a little better by then.

Just wanted to let the other ladies who were sick recently that I know how you felt when you really wanted to do some kind of workout but couldn't because the cold overtakes your energy. I can sooo relate.

Thank you for listening to me.

Take it easy.....I'm one who was sick, and still trying to get over it. I didn't listen to my own words of advice and went on doing what I wanted to do instead of what I should have been doing!


Rest up- get better ;-)

To Steffy and all,

Thank you so much for your get well wishes! I'm feeling slightly better today. Trying to beat this by taking Vitamin C and keeping hydrated. I'm taking one more day off from work.

Hopefully, I'll feel 100% better by this weekend. Why? Because I have a date with a shopping mall! And you know you need to be fully energized for that! lol! :)

You gals are the greatest!

If you have what is going around. take it easy, don't push yourself, and for the next few weeks, be smart about not getting sick.


I was sick for about a month. VERY sick for 2 weeks, and then I kept getting sick. It sucked. And I know I was also pushing myself. Or I"d walk around outside in the cold, because I thought I was fine, etc, etc, etc.


Just be careful. Most ppl I know who've gotten sick, have it for at least a week, that keeps them home from work, and they dont' get over it for another 1-2 weeks. take care of yourself!!
