Week #4 do-over

Alright, despite the fact that I really don't WANT to stray from the program, I've decided it's time to listen to my body.

Last night I celebrated my niece's 1st birthday with my sister and brother-in-law, and by the time I got home I was feeling really drained. I didn't think much of it, but just went straight to bed instead of working out thinking I would put in a double session today. Woke up today up with a crazy headache, still didn't think much of it, until I arrived at the office and my head EXPLODED. And then I realized it...I'm sick.

I went from an 8 to a 2 on the energy level throughout the day, my head feels so heavy that I can't help but just sit/lay down, and my nose is bright red from all of the tissues I've used today.

So, alas, I'm taking it easy. I won't be able to put my best into the workouts (if I even have the energy to get through them), and I certainly won't be prepared to switch to phase 2 on Sunday. I'm putting week 4 on hold until I feel better, and then I'm just going to start it over (so basically, I'll declare a new day #22).

I probably won't be blogging much in the interim, but I'll try to check in with the rest of you who are doing the program!!!

And lastly... a product review...

I've got a really horrific sore nose and I'm generally miserable. I went to CVS to pick up some medication and new tissues and let me tell you all...I found something truly amazing.

Kleenex cool touch tissues.

You know that feeling climbing into a bed with crisp cool sheets? That's the only way I can describe how amazing these tissues feel.
