Feeling a bit ‘ yucky’
Oh, the first signs of overtraining…..hmm, I know them well.
1. First sign - don’t feel like lifting
2. Workouts just aren’t making the grade
3. Not recovering
4. Feeling ’seedy’ - foul taste in mouth
5. Getting a little bit cranky
Hmmm……….seems I should’ve listened to my body last week at sign number 1. However, I’ve pulled myself up today and am enforcing a week off training and relaxing my diet a little. You know, eating extra calories, but only the clean kind. I don’t like doing it because I love this lifestyle and I seriously want to reach my fatloss goals. I am so focussed at the moment……..ahh, my mind wants to go on but my body has other ideas. I know from experience that if I don’t have this rest I’ll pay dearly for it probably by weeks end.
Patience is certainly a virtue.
No check-in this week. Though I’ve really got find somone to take my body fat measurements instead of using the scale. Otherwise I’ll be in competition with it. May have to switch to a tape measure.
