I wasn't feeling well this whole week so my workout plan was shot. =[
However, I realized I actually healed better because I got alot of rest and took extra vitamin C. I don't think there was anything I could have done differently. I actually thought I needed to exercise to heal faster but according to "How To Be Fit" I actually was correct in giving my body extra rest.
According to "How To Be Fit", when you're sick, stress is added to your system, which creates body breakdown. This requires your body to use the nutrients you feed it to help release hormones in order to repair the damage.
By me getting more rest than usual, I actually sped up my healing process. Who would have thought that resting could do so much in the long run? Exercise should be back in my schedule sooner than I thought.

It's important not to get discouraged when illness or injury interferes with your fitness routine. Just get back to it as soon as you are able and pretty soon your body will be back to where it was.
