I'm really irritated at my body right now because it can't seem to make up its mind about whether it's going to get sick. For the past week and a half I've been waking up with a scratchy, pre-cold throat, that usually dissipates a little during the day, but is constantly there in the background. Last week I didn't work out because I let myself sleep in, hoping that whatever sickness was threatening me would just move on by. I've also been sucking on zinc lozenges because they've really helped me in the past with either bypassing sickness altogether, or shortening what is usually a 2-week cold followed by at least a month of lung-wrenching coughs (I had bronchitis a lot as a kid so pretty much every illness I have winds up with a month of lung-wrenching coughs).
But seriously, zinc is awesome.
The problem is, this time I feel like I'm just kind of holding the cold/flu/plague at bay so I keep feeling not great, tired and achy with a slight sore throat. I slept for 9 hours last night! I never do that.
I don't know what's going on, but I wish I would just sink into sickness, or get over it already.
Suffice it to say, I have not been working out while I've been feeling sort of sick. It's annoying.
