Throwing in the Towel

That's it... I'm not even going to try today. I woke up feeling okay, but then a headache set in. The same kind of achy thing I had the other day... the one that went away as I did my workout, but then came back after I was done (usually if I do a workout with a headache, it goes away and stays away). :-P

And so today I thought I'd just go ahead and do the workout and see what happens, but the achiness just wouldn't go away. It felt like more than just your average headache, and it was in the back of my neck, and wrapped around the whole back of my head. Ohhhhh, I was uncomfortable!

Now it's 4pm and the kids are home... and I still haven't been able to get a workout in. I've tried eating something to see if it would go away. Nothing. Eating did make it feel a bit better though, but it didn't go away. I tried some coffee- thinking maybe that by not having any this morning, maybe by body was addicted to the caffeine and didn't like my skipping it... but half a cup and it didn't get any better- just felt more icky. I tried drinking more water, and still taking drinks now, but so far, nothing has made the headache feel any better. It has though- at least moved out of my neck and back of head (ah, relief there) but now it's settled right smack in the middle of my frontal sinuses. My cheeks and eye sockets just plain ACHE.

So I've decided to just chalk off today's workout because I have kept trying to see if I could feel well enough to get it done today... but each hour that goes by, I'm finding myself feeling more icky rather than better. In fact, I just took some Nyquil, and I will probably be DEAD tired (from the meds) long before dinnertime, but I am just wanting some relief for the headache!! Just let me rest!!!!

I hate it that I am not going to get my workout done today, but I know I am feeling like there is something more going on. And I don't want to end up sicker than I might be (if I am sick with something). I don't like feeling icky. And today- I've been feeling ICKY. If I feel better tomorrow, I will do today's workout then, and just mark off tomorrow's Kenpo. I feel like I need to do Legs and Back more than I need to do Kenpo.
