I've been doing a boot camp for the last 3 months. We took one week off at the first of January. When I came back, I was RARING to go, and everything seemed so easy (I only worked out a little on the off week).
I think you're just still whipped by the virus. It takes a long time for some of them to clear. I had one a few years ago and I was bedbound for 10 days--no cold symptoms, just profound lethargy and a fever. As soon as it was over, it was over, and I was fine.
You'll come back. Keep trying. Feel better.

I thought Mimi was saying she was surprised at her quick recovery...
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

I thought that at first, too. We'll let Mimi clarify.

No, I wasn't pleased with my quick recovery. I was disturbed by the quick return of symptoms (deep muscle pain) that I haven't felt for years.
I feel like today I have all my strength back, and the virus is now down to a stupid cough, but last night I took tylenol for pain before I went to bed, because my big muscles were hurting.
Tonight I'm going to the gym. The issue is not whether or not I'm going to overdo it, it's HOW CLOSE I AM to where I was before I ever started getting healthy.

Boot Camp? Me, too. I did 3 weeks before Xmas, took off for two weeks and was raring to go on the return. I did nothing but sit in a car and drive or heave moving boxes around. Originally Posted by Tuckervill

Yes, it's amazing what can seem "easy" with the proper perspective. Originally Posted by SadieKate
