* I could take this advice today! But, when I'm sick I tend to be a little lazy with my diet.

Thanks Jim. I think in the past I would have skipped out due to a cold. Now I can say that there wouldn't have been any possible justification for skipping out. I didn't feel bad enough. Plus, if I miss a day of doing anything, whether it's a workout at the gym or sprints at home, I feel like something is missing.

 

And yes, Walmart makes a great pizza! After my huge dissapointment in Papa Murphys last week, I think I'll stick with Walmart & Pizza Hut. =)

 

Hey thanks Pam! And thanks for the well wishes! I'm glad you enjoyed the quote...it's a good one to keep in mind for sure! =)

STILL....an amazing workout despite not feeling up to par. Hope you get better soon! And I love the quote you posted! SO TRUE SO TRUE!!!!

And Walmart does make an awesome pizza? Surprising, huh?

There is such a thing as going too far, but at the same time, the difference between being in sorta good shape and killer shape is sucking it up and dealing with not feeling 100%.

 

Unless you are dealing with a serious illness and/or might spread it through the gym, there is no reason to miss a workout just because you a little off. You did exactly what I would have done.
