Bronchitis. It is not pretty and has knocked me for six!
I’m officially taking this week off exercise. I just can’t imagine doing much of anything useful, my body aches, my bones and joints ache, my head aches, my lungs ache. And that is now that I am starting to feel a bit more human!
I have a doctor’s appointment on Friday (was meant to be a pap smear and general check-up) which will let me know if I am clear to start back with my exercise in time to do a fitness test.
I am really disappointed. The second fitness test is usually a time for celebrating the successes of these first four weeks. Instead I will only be celebrating the fact that I can manage to get out of bed and maybe even make it to the gym for a workout!
I hope this doesn’t set me back too far from my goals. I will be going through my pre-season tasks again quickly and re-evaluating what I will be able to achieve knowing that this virus might affect my lungs for a while yet.
For now, I need to give my body the best chance of a full and quick recovery with lots of rest, and good healthy clean eating!
Nah that sucks, hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Sometimes rest is more important than exercise and nutrition has more effect than exercise, so perhaps keep focused on that :)
