hey ladies,
i'm still sick, which is shocking -- this NEVER happens to me. lol -- guess i can't say that anymore!
it especially sucks because i've been trying to make as good an impression as possible at work on my way out the door, but some things are beyond our control.
feeling kind of soft and puffy today and have been resisting the urge to feel sorry for myself/beat myself up/some combination of those two with the following thoughts:
1. this is temporary
2. everything happens for a reason... i am a firm believer in this. for example, my right achilles has been a little "tweaky" lately. who knows if i would have ruptured it doing squats today? i'm taking full advantage of the downtime to STRETCH and do all those parts of my "training" that get neglected.
3. everyone needs to rest. rest is when growth happens. so if i'm getting an unintended grow-time, so be it.
4. even if i have some physical set backs (fat gain/muscle loss) from this week, i will do what i need to do to rectify the situation. i wouldn't want to be the stroller-bunny between me and the step mill next week
that being said i'm not letting myself go to sh!t... i'm watching my diet (making an effort to not under/over-eat, which is hard with the obliteration of any normal hunger-fullness cues with this bug). maybe today will be the day i order a competition suit for bikini (the figure suit will have to wait about a month)...
much love, my girls!
xo, c
