Today is our 70th day with the Total Gym XLS! Here’s how we’re doing:
I’m thankful that both our measurements are still on track this week. I was a little concerned for my own progress, because I have not been feeling well at all. I’ve got some kind of head/sinus cold trying to take hold and I’ve had a hard time getting any sleep; last week, I kept falling asleep at midnight and waking up automatically for the day at 4 AM. Every day. Yuck! I’ve pretty much been just dragging myself around to get what I need to done, so I only worked out twice last week. The Mayo Clinic has some sound advice about exercising while sick, with one of the messages being “Let your body be your guide”. So this week, I did just that. And happily, it hadn’t set my progress back any, so hopefully I’ll be feeling a lot better in a day or two. The lack of sleep is the worst part, so I’ll feel a lot more eager to workout when I’m not surviving on a couple of hours of sleep!
I’m curious: Do you work out when you’re under the weather?
How awesome! I’m inspired by you. I’ve lost a couple of pounds this week from adjusting to a healthier lifestyle and I may be ready to up my seriousness soon with something like this!
Hmm nope, I usually totally don’t! I know I should try, but I am a big baby when I’m sick!
I totally could use a home gym. We recently cancelled our gym membership because I could never seem to get there.
The weather is getting colder and it’s getting harder to motivate myself to work out. You are very inspiring to keep going.. day 70! Hope you feel better soon.
You’re doing awesome! I hate when I’m in a good routine and then get sick. I don’t work out and it throws me off. 🙁
I usually do not work out when I am sick, but I think like you mentioned, I probably SHOULD just at least get up and go thru the motions b/c afterwards I am SO off my game for days!! Perhaps even just taking a slow walk at the same time I usually do my workout would keep me in the “habit” ??
It’s definitely super important to listen to your body. &You are kicking butt!
I sure could use a home gym, would make working out an easier option for me… you are doing great!
Oh no way. Unless I have some huge event coming up, I never work out when I am sick. Big baby!!! Hope you get well soon!!
I never work out when I’m under the weather. I use any excuse to not work out. …I need to do better!
I dont know if I had a home gym if it would help me stay motivated. But, I think that what works best for me is to have a buddy to go with.
You are an inspiration to me, to work and work out. You are awesome
Way to go Beeb! You’re very inspirational! I need to get my butt back to the gym and off my couch!
I love these updates, thanks for sharing. You’re doing so good, even with being a little unwell.
