A few weeks ago I had bronchitis and after a 3 day dose of Z pack, I was feeling better, but not 100%. I did a couple of runs and some really long showers and my lungs were definitely opening up, but since my tonsillectomy in January, I haven’t been anywhere near 100%. I went to the doctor and turns out because of my lack of immune system, my sinuses are swollen, which is causing a lot of gross stuff to prevent my throat from completely healing. I can’t tell you how much I want to be better. Being sick is already not fun, but feeling 70% all the time really puts a damper on my workouts and lately my sleeping.
I definitely power napped this evening, not afternoon, evening. I seriously feel like an old lady. But here’s the plan to get back to 100%. My doctor is suggesting I take Benadryl before bed, Claritin when I wake up and a medication for my nose to bring down the swelling in my sinuses.
It’s only the first day and I can breathe better. I’m going to try to run tomorrow. I have definitely been slacking this week, and I know I need to be better, but the dizzy spell after my run the other day made me nervous, so a few days off was needed.
Saturday’s plan:
Cardio
Timed run: 20 minutes
Weighted Squats
- Goblet squats: 3 sets of 20
- Plie squats: 3 sets of 20
- Braced squats: 3 sets of 20
Dumb Bell Workouts: 8lbs dumb bell, 3 sets of 10 for each
Plank Row
Shoulder Press
Lateral Raise
Deltoid Raise
Rear Deltoid Raise
Biceps Curl
Hammer Curl
This should take up a solid hour; bring on the morning workout!
Well I’m off to bed. Fingers crossed on my recouping :]
