Setback
Got off to a great start last week with the Body For Life program. Last Friday, I came down with really bad sinus and ear infection- tried to do cardio and lift but it just made me feel worse. Sweated like a pig and then puked.
Today feeling only about 60% better but have stuck to my diet throughout the ordeal. Am hungry for the gym again. My day isn’t complete without it. I"m gonna give this a few more days to work its way out and then its back to full throttle.
I have 30 more pounds that I want to drop and then 20 pounds of muscle to put on.
I"m gonna do it.

Sometimes you just have to listen to your body when you’re not feeling well. I hope you’re over your sinus problem by now - I know how bad those can get - and I know you’ll be more motivated when you feel better! Good luck and keep up the great work!

Hey thanks dpaul!
I found out today that about 7 other people at work came down with the same bug. They told me that it usually takes a week to 9 days get over it. Even the lady bodybuilder/ trainer at work was ill with the same bug. She knocked off training for over a week and I will do the same and will not start up again until I"m 100% better.

The body can do a shut down when the mind is doing something else. Perhaps it tells us that rest is important, when we don’t see it.
Hope you’re better soon and back on the training!
