@kellylmatthews: Mono?! At my big age? Not on my bingo card for this year but I’m going to take this as my cue to take it easy for a bit (as much as I can 🙃) I get so many messages from people that train with me panicked that they’re sick and they’re so worried that they’re going to lose the progress that they’ve made and I always give them pretty much the same response: did you expect to go the rest of your life without getting sick? without getting injured? Without having a death in your family or an unexpected hurdle come up? This is being human! Yes, it’s so frustrating to feel like something is getting in the way of the progress you worked so hard for, but so much of what we gain in the gym is the ability to come back and rebuild and go through seasons in our lives. I have to trust that my relationship with training is stronger than one bout of mono! As always, thank you all for being on this journey with me and understanding that even tough gym girls have to have a hot girl walk era once in a while 🫶🏼 #gymgirl #recovery #illness #gymmotivation #hotgirlwalk
I caught mono back in March and was bed ridden for over a month. Definitely the worst illness I've ever experienced. Wishing you a steady recovery.

Ugh feel this. I had covid 3 weeks ago and I’m only just now feeling like I have enough energy to get back to lifting. Rest up and take care of yourself!

Wow, been in an AI flare for a couple weeks and have been struggling between rest and pushing through, so I really needed to hear this today. Hope you're able to rest well and recover quickly!

Resting with epstein barr is so important! Epstein barr is linked to many autoimmune and chronic illnesses so it’s super important to be as careful as possible. I had epstein barr and mono and now have me/cfs and already had pots for years, so now im chronically ill for the rest of my life because i didnt know i even had epstein barr and mono (hospital never told me) and kept pushing through 🙃

girlll, I have something similar related to chronic mono and I will forever have. The doctor warned me to prioritize sleeping, taking care of myself, and slowing down to rest if I feel sick at all (side effects are chronic illness/fatigue). Props to you for actually resting and taking care of your body ! Thank you for sharing 💗🙏
