My goal this week is sadly just to get back to working out. I came down with a cold last week, but managed only to miss one work out. My cold has gotten worse, though and so I've missed every workout this week so far. Today my cold feels worse than ever. I feel like I can barely breath -- I can't imagine doing HIIT.

I know Bill Phillips says not to make excuses, which I interpreted as working out even if you're sick. But my own personal belief is that when you're sick, your body needs its energy to make itself well, so that's what I'm trying to let it do. Now if I could only stay home from work and give it the rest that I also thinks it needs . . . .
