I knew coming into this I would get the flu sooner or later, was just hoping it would hold off until after the competition. Have now missed 2 workouts since the last weigh-in due to illness and I know my results tonight will be less than stellar. It is hard, but keep reminding myself, that colds happen. It is how we deal with them and move on after that counts. In the past, the flu would have had me curled up in bed 24-7 watching horrible daytime soaps. But last Friday and this Monday I managed to drag myself in. I wasn't at 100% but I gave it all I had and felt absolutely miserable about the 2 days I was too ill to make it in. Wow! I felt miserable about NOT going to the workout! I believe I am creating a new norm for me and that was one of my main goals coming into this process: to make working out, being active a 'normal' part of my everyday life.
This week (tonight especially) will be tough and tomorrow morning even tougher, but we all are alot stronger than we were back on January 1st.
See everyone tonight, and don't worry, I was taught to share, but I will make an exception and keep my cold to myself. :)
