Sorry people. I'm not sure how much inspiration you'll get from this one. But you will get the truth. This is what I do when life gets in the way. And I'll spare you the sad details. This week I realized (for the millionth time) that apparently I'm not superwoman. I had a setback in my Project 9X9. You see it's Friday and the last time I worked out was Wednesday. So that's 2 days in a row that I have not done any exercise. (Yes I'm beating myself up ... and yes I know I shouldn't). It started Thursday afternoon. The universe forced me to FEEL some emotions I kept bottled up inside. I didn't realize it was going to affect me so much. I just wanted to go home and be alone and cry a bit. And that's what I did. And as some of you may have seen on my FACEBOOK status, my energy levels have been very low energy at about noon everyday this week. Well the same happened today ... on top of my melancholy mood. Not a good combination. And while many of you would say "A good bout of exercise will get those endorphins going and you'll feel good again!" ... I just want to rest. Rest my body, my mind, and my heart for one more day. I'll put my cape and tights on tomorrow. The silver lining out of all of this? I continue to eat clean ... and get lean. (By the way, I'm re-adjusting my meal plan because I think that's why my energy levels are tanking. That and the fact that I get up at 3:00am ... I must get to bed earlier!)
Anyway, thanks for your support. I hope I didn't let you down. Just keeping it real. :)
well, let me tell you first off how can you not be an inspiration?? Just the fact that you are blogging about your journey is very inspirational! Always listen to your body; I think that staying home and having a good cry would be much more beneficial than trying to go to the gym when you feel that way. Stress (especially bottled up stress) can cause you to not lose weight. I think you made the right choice. and just so you know... you ARE my inspiration!

ReplyDeleteThe simple fact that you are letting us know how you feel is AMAZING!!!! Everyday we look at ads or t.v. and see these women who claim to be SUPERWOMEN!!! It is all smoke and mirrors!! I commend you on your honesty, and in the fitness world we should be this REAL!!!
