Week 10 Challenge: Called in Sick

I had very grand plans for week 10 of my challenge, but unfortunately, I woke up with a terrible headache on Monday morning, and
my week just went downhill from there.  It seemed like every day there was a new random symptom - sore throat, lost voice, fever, relentless coughing.  Every day I felt more and more blah, so I decided to give myself a break and rest all week.  It turns out that my real challenge was not to feel guilty about taking care of myself.  For some reason, whenever I rest and relax after work or on the weekends, I feel guilty for not doing something more productive.  I will admit that I did feel some guilt about laying around all week, but my good sense usually won out and convinced me that I needed to rest in order to feel better.  I think I need to challenge myself to never feel guilty in the future for taking care of myself!
