Whew, i'm still nowhere near 100%, I don't even feel 50%. I've been getting sick lately, not feeling too good at all. Tonite my legs were literally shaking, and although the weights were very light, my work capacity and immune system are pretty low right now. I keep training as best I'm capable of, as if I stop now, I'll just hit rock bottom and be sick as hell, this is the time of year I can get sick. Last year right now, I was horribly sick daily, and stressed out of my mind... and history repeats itself. I'm going to have to watch it, or I'll get really bad.
I'd actually forgotten how sick I was last year at this time, but it was bad, I must get a low immune system in this environment, and time of year. Last year I just wasn't even really training at this point, I took quite a few weeks off I was so busy and sick. I think just forcing myself to train will stop me from sleeping all day, I can't believe how run down I am. Last year I spent a month in Montreal for work, and the trip just rocked me. I think just keeping my feet moving and unerneath me will help a ton. I think I'm jus going to have to ride this one out until things get better, and they probably will. Just gotta stick with it. Have a few work things that are going very badly currently that really aren't helping, but getting those polished off will take a ton off my mind.

I was sweating but freezing cold, that's when I know i'm overtrained, also when I should just stop training. I think that's something else to notice, is that I get cold after an hour. I've been having shorter workouts without thinking about it. I'll have to remember to wear my hoodie from now on. I prefer to stay very warm when I'm training, and I wear rehbands, and sweats and generally a toque. Plus our gym is kinda cold. As long as I'm warm I can train, but lately I'm cold all the time, not a great sign. But I'm happy I noticed, I can start doing things about it, rather than just assuming I overtrained, but that I'm also getting sick. I dislike listing off all the things that are wrong, but it helps me to solve the problem.
Solution, stay calm, do what I'm capable of, and try not to freak out. Keep the Bcaa's high, drink Neo Citran,eat as much healthy food as I can. Get more vitamin C.
