Got My Butt Kicked Today

So, one sick day really took it out of me. I feel like I gained 3lbs in water, my throat itches and overall I feel "blah". I pressed play anyways and feel better about myself. I am twice as tired though. I still have to do my  second workout, which I will keep short today, and then walk my dogs. They, together, weigh in at 210lbs. That is 40% more  then me. HAHAHA

So if you are sick, really sick, it is, of course, wiser to take a step back, bombard yourself with Vitamin C and drink lots of water. Yet if you feel like you CAN push through I'd say it is worth it. Surely you should listen to my body. I rock at that so I pushed and it did help. If I would have pushed it yesterday I would feel worse today. For me, working out, works like medicine. For years I battled depression. Was on medication, visited a shrink, was in a clinic and was diagnosed with TMS (Tension  Myositis Syndrome = mental issues turn into physical pain/issues) Yep...Bri is being all open and honest today. I must say, next to my family, working out has done wonders for me. I am off of any medication!...Pain is Weakness leaving the Body. I find, when you are in pain, you learn the most about yourself. (too corny?!) I am not saying eating clean and working out fixed me, but I learned about myself and am now able to figure out triggers, avoid things, or when it is to late, pull myself out of the dark hole in no time. I am so much fitter then I have ever been....mentally and physically and I love Beachbody (and my family) for that! That's all.
