So yesterday was my rest day and I took full advantage of it. I didn't wake up early, I didn't run, nothing I rested like I am supposed to and enjoyed it. Now I know I said I was going to make sure that I only did what was listed in the schedule but I had such a stressful day at work I really needed to let some of it go my mind was running at 100 miles an hour and I felt very tense and just needed a way to release it. I decided the best way to do it would be go on a run. Well I went to bed pretty early knowing that I was going to need to get up a little early in order to get some kind of run in. I ended up waking up right before 11 last night for just a minute and when I tried to go back to sleep I couldn't fall back to sleep until almost 3 AM when the alarm went off in order for me to get up I was working on about 3 total hours of sleep with even more time being up throughout the night. I decided not to run which was a good choice since I have a long day in front of me but now I still have that stress built up in me and I can feel it. I felt a little better after today's X stretch but still don't feel great I wish that I got some good sleep and was able to run. Tomorrow is Yoga and depending on how tired I am tonight will decide if I do Yoga X or Bob Harper Yoga, I would like to do Yoga X because it is longer and the other yoga workout is scheduled for the weekend but if I need the sleep then I will take it and do the shorter workout tomorrow. I guess we will just have to wait and see how I feel. One thing I am happy about is that there are only two weeks of class left before we are off for two weeks and I am really looking forward to having my Saturday's back. One last thing, I know I have been brought it up before but I have been looking at becoming a Beachbody coach again and after doing some research and I am starting to think I want to do it again. I am going to give myself a deadline for the decision and will make the decision at the end of the week.
Tip for today:
Find someone, anyone, with the same fitness goals as you regardless if that is losing weight, getting strong, or both. If you find someone that has the same goals as you, you can work together and compare results to motivate each other and stay on track. Several studies show that if you have a workout buddy and someone that holds you accountable you are more likely to stick with your plan and see it to the finish.
