Re: Feeling down - christina

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

You are oh so funny. Maybe I'm having a midlife crisis or

something??

I think I could very well be over my bingefest. I can't wait to get

my hands on PN to try refocusing my energy. I forced myself to do

upper body weights on Tues, which was tough because my heart wasnt

in it (I was also noticeably weaker). I did legs yesterday and it

was a lot better.

This morning I woke up and felt great....I did a HIIT workout in the

park with some upper body exercises in between. I even did some

killer intervals at the end (with burpees) that were brutal (tabata

principal stuff, if you know what I mean?). I felt amazing and

pretty much whistled and skipped my way to work.

I have eaten completely healthy foods since Tuesday. The

only 'cheat' I had were a few sushi rolls last night made with

sticky white rice. Otherwise, totally on track. Right now if my

eating was any more clean, I would squeak! lol

I don't know what happened to my head, really. I think I was very

tired and overtrained/overworked. I'm listening to my body more and

not pushing it so hard right now. No more 'making up' workouts!!

I still plan on making a dr. apptmt to check out my thyroid, it

certainly can't hurt. Just not sure when I'm going to squeeze it in

right now with work, mini vacations, and all other responsibilities.

Thanks for your words of encouragement!!

Hi

It sounds like the 2 of us are in the same exhausted boat. after one

day of rest I am feeling better. The bad thing is when you're so

used to being on the go it's hard to slow down. Only one day resting

and I am wanting to go out and play. I NEED TO REST!
