Last week my Under Armour clothes and shoes arrived, but I have yet to enjoy anything because I’ve been laid up with a bad cold since after Memorial Day weekend.
Even when you eat for energy, illness happens. This week I’m getting real about the injury and illness that have set my goals back since this challenge started.
As someone who pushes myself to 110 percent at all times, I don’t always take the down time I need. As important as it is to set and achieve goals, you’re only as strong as your rest days. I break it down in the video below.

I completely relate to this!! I often push myself too hard and find it hard to force myself to slow down. I think it’s pretty amazing that our body has ways to force us to do so, but I’m learning not to make it get to that point. Thanks for the honesty!
Your body definitely speaks first!
So true! I just got a cold after avoiding one all winter. I read Thrive by Brendan Brazier and have found his commentary on the subject very meaningful- he’s said to pay attention to when you get sick. Often, if you’re pushing yourself too hard, your body will be able to get you through that really stressful time, but immediately afterwards you’ll get sick because you were pushing your body too much to begin with. I got through my crazy week- and started getting sick as soon as I was finished with the crazy period.
Once you’re in tune with your body, this is so true!
