2-20-14

yes I know it's Friday 2-21 but I was so tired when I tried to write this last night I feel asleep ... read why :D

ok so this has been a crazy week.  No workouts since last Friday.  Yes this shocked even my trainer when I said this.  I always get in no less than 4-5 days of at least simple cardio.  After talking with him things made sense.  Things that I knew were right but just kept pushed in the back of my mind ... or some place.
Last week, after the devastating finding that I was up in weight, I pushed myself even harder than I had been.  Wednesday is usually my day I don't go to the gym.  Last week I pushed myself to do at least half a class of body combat before I went off to church.  Don't worry remember I sat in the back by myself where no one could smell me  lol

Thursday I went to the gym.  I was feeling a little defeated and challenged all in one.  I was fighting that battle of do it don't do it.  I got in my two hours of cardio.   Friday I hit it hard with my trainer and body combat class.  By the end of the day I was tired, but I feel like I had accomplished something.  I put in a lot of work last week and my body knew it.  So when I took a break on Saturday and Sunday my body didn't know what to do with itself.

As I was talking with my trainer last night he commented he has times like that too.  When he is training for a meet he put in a lot of hard work.   He pushes his body to it's limits to be ready for the meet.  After the meet when he backs off the harder training he said that for a while it's almost like he has insomnia, this is what I have felt like the past few days.

The body gets so use to being able to get rid of a higher amount of energy and it doesn't know just to turn it back.  The past few days I knew in the back of my mind that I feel better when I get in exercise but it was like I was tired and couldn't make myself do it.  I woke yesterday morning knowing I HAD to get in some exercise.  I know that a class or boxing session with James makes for a hard burn of calories.  I contacted him and my luck was he had an opening just as I got off work.  Perfect!!  I got a good 30 minute burn boxing.  I felt this burn in every part of my body.  I could feel that my endurance had gotten so much better than I had months ago.  I left there drenched and tired but it was the best nights sleep I have had all week. 

Today I have planned to go back for more torture with James and then, what has come my Friday night date, Bodycombat with the ladies.  I feel it when I am done but I love it after.  Have a super day everyone.
