That will change when you have a kid. I was the same way as you, and then BAM.

^ I definitely catch more crud from my kids than I did before I had 'em ... but I don't know where this strep came from. The last time I had it was 12 years ago (and that was the first time since childhood). This time, nobody else in my family is even the tiniest bit ill, even the college student who shared a teeny tiny Amtrak sleeping cabin with me when I first started getting sick.
I still have very little voice, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty darned good! Maybe in another couple of days I'll be ready to go back to the gym.

The thing is my wife is a teacher and she teaches 3 and 4 year olds and even though she gets sick quite often I never seem to pick up what she has. Of course when I have kids I'll probably be working with less sleep which will in turn not be good for my immune system, so who knows. I will hopefully find out the answer to that question within the next few years.
I had a monster workout today.
Roxor!
Well I didn't make it to the gym on Friday but my wife and I went for a brisk walk on Saturday for over an hour and both had a good sweat on when we got back so at least I got some cardio in. We're planning on making it a regular Saturday activity now.
I tested my new state of precarious good health by spending the day cleaning my garage. I survived all the box lifting and moving pretty well, so I think I'm probably ready to go back to the gym. I also took a 1.5 mile walk with the dog and didn't feel dizzy and out of breath. Yay!
That's great! Don't forget to TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR!
I'm going to yoga this afternoon. The plan is to try and do some weight training/ circuit stuff this week now that my knees have stopped hurting.
I went the whole summer with the idea in my head that I would cut in order to develop more of a beach body. But I have no abs, and I only went swimming once the whole summer...and that was by myself in my apartment's swimming pool.
It got really cold the last couple days, so I know summer is coming to a close. Forget cutting. It's time for my winter bulk. Bulking is so much more fun. Time to eat like food is going out of style!

I've done a bit of that and it's amazing how quickly you improve! It's hard for me to force myself to do it, but I know the results I get from it are hard to argue with.
I went back to the gym for the first time in a couple of weeks (after getting over strep throat) and had a great workout! I didn't lose any strength, even after being so sick. Hooray.
Time to step up the weights!
I sat on the couch last night and read a book. 
^Glad to hear you're feeling well enough to be back at the gym!
I had a pretty good workout last night despite the fact that I hadn't slept well the night before. I even managed to up some of my weights. Tonight it's HIIT again. Incredibly, I'm looking forward to it!
