My body is sore, I went to the doctor who told me that I had a critter bite me. I have this huge rash thing on my side. This thing hurts! It looks like 7 small bites in a 1.5 square inch spot. It's bright red and lumpy. If you touch it it hurts. But, my doctor said this bite is affecting my lymph nodes under my arm. So, it's sore and swollen there too. This bite is making my whole side hurt. I try twisting, lifting during my workouts and it's just painful!
I've been tired and low on energy. I think working out everyday and the stress of work had finally all caught up. I feel asleep on the couch one night so early! It was a true sign, I needed a break!
I ended up taking almost an entire week off, not a single workout. I can't recall the last time I had gone more then 3 days without a workout, yet I just went almost 7. I tell you, it was tough not working out. But my body definitely needed the rest! I went to my message boards and hear all the ladies bringing it, and I felt like a slacker. But, I know when I need to say when. And, my body said enough!
This week, I ate as cleanly as I could and tried to drop my calories to account for the lack of workout. I was by no means perfect.
Which means, starting tomorrow- I am going to be bringing on the mat and in the kitchen! I will get back on track with my workouts. I will probably start with my favorite get back in the groove - Turbo Jam! Then after a few days, it will be back into the X! I have a goal to graduate from this program and I will not let a week off get me down or count me out!
I'm posting this to say, I'm not perfect, I take days off when I need it. I just know that I will get back on the wagon as soon as my body says go. I will not let myself get all upset over missing a workout. I just count this as my mental health catch up.
So, tomorrow I am ready to BRING IT AGAIN!
