A few days off …
Well, I’m back after taking almost a week off from the gym. I feel guilty but I think I needed the rest. School is kicking my butt and I’m really gonna need to figure out a way to get my workouts in earlier in the day because going late (i LOVE going late) is really messing with me … I’m just plain not getting enough sleep.
This week was also a pretty down week for me emotionally. Just had a few things come rushing back in a big wave of pain … so I sort of shut down and stopped wanting to take care of myself. I was on "survival mode" if you could even call it that. I really need to work on NOT shutting down when things get hard - those are the times when I really need to FOCUS on taking care of myself rather than withdrawing and just existing … blah.
Anyway … now I have some days to make up at the gym. I sort of have a bad habit of sabatoging myself and I don’t want to get off track and then give up and end up heading back to the place I came from. I’ve lost 35lbs so far and my body is really starting to change … I’ve worked too hard to let a few bad days derail me.
Anyone out there reading this? If there are … how do you stay motivated to keep on when life kicks you in the gut??
