Another good night of sleep. Only got up once. Slept in until 4:30A and was at the gym at 6:00A.
I did not eat anything this morning to see if I started to feel sick during my workout.
I backed down to 40 pounds on the press push, 28 KG on the Squats and 160 pounds on the lat machine. I was able to keep moving through all 5 sets, doing my shoulder flyes (15 lbs) between sets so I did not take any real rest period. Using this weight forced me to work hard, but not hard enough to make me sick to my stomach. I had a good 20 minute cardio session. Hopefully this means I am getting over my illness and working lighter will allow me to work back up over time.

Not sure what I will do about weight on the swings and figure 8′s in the morning. Last week I had cut the weight down and was not able to finish all 7 sets. I will see how I feel in the morning. Maybe I will start out heavy and then lighten up if necessary.
I am just not sure if the weight is too much because I am ill or maybe I have just been trying to do too much. I just know that a month ago I could do the heavier weight, even though it was difficult at times.
Still learning about my Blackberry and getting it set up just the way I like. It is really a nice tool. I picked up a 2G MicroSD card so now I can have music and used the Blackberry like an MP3 player.
So … have you thought about making a doctor’s appointment yet? Or are you going to ride it out? It is no fun to be feeling crappy for a long time.
