I haven't worked out and feel like crap for it, tips to not feel this way?

[Anonymous]

I haven't been to the gym since Thursday (its Wednesday). I normally go everyday. I've been eating terrible and have been lazy. I've been feeling like crap with the worst headache for the past week. I know I shouldn't work out feeling sick but I feel terrible and keep beating myself up for not going. Any tips to make myself feel better? Or should I just go to the gym with a bad headache and deal with it?

Just eat healthy and take it slow (: No need to go back into to full speed if you don't feel good. Don't worry I'm sick and I feel horrible to! To horrible to hit up the gym. So I have just been eating healthy and drinking a lot of water even when I don't feel like it. Well good luck! (:

Why haven't you been going out of curiosity? It's OK to trip up here and there. But starting tomorrow get back into your healthy routine. No excuses! Are you sure you are getting enough water and sleep? And were you formerly taking in a lot of caffeine and now aren't?

I haven't been going because I had shin splits and been feeling sick. The shin splits are gone but I still feel terrible. I drink a lot of water, I never consume caffeine either so I'm not sure why the headaches are this major.

Maybe you haven't been getting all your vitamins and nutrients (from the junk food). What about sleep?

I take multivitamins still and sleep a lot ):

Hmmm well just do whatever you did before you got all these headaches (lifestyle wise...nutrition,exercise,etc) and if they still persist go to the doctor! =p

Thank you! I'll see how things go (:

Rest. Just eat healthy and balanced and you can still feel good and not gain weight, even when you don't hit the gym.

Start by eating healthy and drinking lots of water. Take a brisk walk every day for a week or so until you feel like you can hit the gym again. You're probably feeling horrible because of bad eating habits, and because you stopped being active.
