Wild (gym) Mood Swings
This has been a really weird week of training for me. I’m holding back a little because I’m coming off a two week break for the holidays. (Wow, am I ever still feeling leg day. Owie!) Saturday was arm day, which is usually my favorite training day of the week. Every single thing I did I felt as weak as a kitten. I also just wasn’t there mentally. It was a struggle for me to even finish my workout. I was worried when I left because leg day loomed the next day. If I was struggling on my favorite day how was I going to handle my (by far) least favorite day? Strangely it went really well. Usually I can’t stand working legs but I didn’t mind at all this time. My legs have been really sore since Sunday. A little punishment for taking too long off and a reminder of a good workout!
Today was International Chest Day and, wow, it was the complete opposite of Saturday. If I felt like a kitten on Saturday I felt like a lion today. I had so much energy and drive in the middle of my workout I almost felt like screaming "HELL YEAH!" (Note: I did not scream "HELL YEAH!" out loud.) I had a freaking awesome workout and left with a great pump. I guess it’s important to remember to push through the bad days and not let them get you down because good days are right around the corner!

"to push through the bad days and not let them get you down because good days are right around the corner! "
Love this quotation. I will remember it every time I don’t feel very excited about working out.
