Late on Sunday evening, my stomach started to churn really badly.  Things quickly went south. I had a bad case of food poisoning.  Almost two days later, I am starting feel much better, but with what I have been through, I need to take it easy.

I will spare you all the details, but the bottom line is, that I didn’t take in any food for 36 hours. I also struggled to drink enough fluids.  As a result of this, I am low on energy and working hard to get re-hydrated.

I am confident that by the time tomorrow rolls around, I will be feeling pretty much back to normal. The truth is however, that even though I will probably feel fine, my body needs more time to fully recover. Even though I will want to start working out, I really need to take it easy.  Resting an extra day is the smart thing to do.

If I don’t work out tomorrow, that will be three days in a row with no exercise.  That is unusual for me, but in the big scheme of things, it is almost nothing.  Rushing back will be a bad decision.

Hopefully, I will start things up again on Thursday. I am looking forward to it, but will need to be sure I am ready, before starting again.
