I felt well enough to do the short BBL workout today. After not exercising at all for 4 days, and spending most of those days resting, it felt so good to exercise!

I'm more congested now after the workout than I was before it. So I'll have to see how this plays out before I'll know if I can exercise tomorrow too.

I'm really glad you are feeling better! I hope the congestion clears up. I read once that if the congestion is above the neck, you should be ok to exercise, and if it's below the neck you should rest.

Thank you, Eagle! I'm still running a low fever, but this didn't turn nearly as bad as my sinus infections are capable of. It's not uncommon for my sinus infections to feature fevers around 102 for daaaays. I'm so relieved this bout wasn't like that! :carrot:

I'd say that's a good adage to go by re: congestion and exercise. For me, it's mostly above the neck but not entirely. Even though I really want to exercise again, :( I think it would be prudent for me to skip it the rest of the week.

Hi ladies!!! Remember me, haha. I fell of hard last month after a semi-solid start. I am going to be joining in next month and will have to figure out a way to push through it! I know there are only a few days left in the month, so no need to add me to the list, but I figured that I would start now instead of putting it off!

Good morning ladies!! I completed my first pre-October challenge workout!!!
