Working out with a cold

Well i seem to have caught a nasty cold that is going around. I started to feel sick Monday night after my allergy needle. I thought that's all it was and then Tuesday night it hit with full force and by Wednesday morning i was out. I haven't made it to work all week and haven't worked out since Tuesday. I have been listening to my body. I am getting better and better at that as the years go on. Before i would have been working and working out despite the cold. I have been doing lot's of reading up over my last few days of vegging and have found some natural ways to deal with the cold. This is the first time i have never taken cold meds or cough exporatants or suppressants. I have been drinking lot's of water and made a homemade neo citron. Consisting of hot water, 1/2 tsp of honey and a squeeze of lemon from a lemon slice. I did add ginger one time but i should have taken the pieces out as i kept almost swallowing them which i supposed wouldn't be bad but i don't like stuff floating in my tea or cold remedy drink.

I am planning on hitting the gym tomorrow to give it a try as see if i am up to snuff. I am going to do weights which actually is something you can continue doing even while sick. Through my reading i have also discovered that if it's above the neck ie. a head cold, stuffy nose it's ok to do cardio or run but if it's below the neck than refrain until a day after your symptoms have subsided. I always thought you could just sweat a cold out and have followed this principle numerous times with it helping about 50% of the time. My cold is in my nose and chest...but has decreased a lot in the sinuses and pretty much is just chilling in my lungs and my asthma is bad to boot. I have been using my puffer so much and coughing a lot. It's a good loose cough though so at least it's a painful productive one. I am feeling better but still pretty tired. Fingers crossed i will wake up feeling a lot better tomorrow!
