Jodi, you dont want me to eat less calories for the next few days since I ate enough sugar and fats for the last week?

That's fine.

BTW - Where are you? I thought you were getting back on track today?

Jodi, I've been very busy with school.. Since I missed alot last week
Good thing Im back, but taking it slowly
Did the Push routine yesturday morning without any cardio still coughing
I will do my Pull routine today without any cardio Hopefuly I will do cycling tomorrow morning

I would want to start the new routine that I posted above next week hopefully

aight... still little problems with my eating for the past 2 days.. I think being sick just stresses me out and makes me eat like that

I defentily need to start cardio again.. tomorrow morning!! I dont care if Im coughing or not!! Im doing cardio!!!

Sara please be patient... doing cardio while you're still ill and coughing means 1. there's no way in the world you can do your best, and 2. you'll just delay the recovery. I know so well how you feel but honestly it's best you give yourself ample time to recover before you start running and cycling again.

take care dear. .

Thanks dalila
I went and took spin class this morning.. first, didnt have the same strength like I did before.. but then it all started to pick up fast

Since I lifted weights 3 days in a row, Im giving myself a break and only doing cycling today and tomorrow.. and next week I will be back to my regular schedule in addition to the 2 extra days of cycling
