Good morning groovy souls!
I've bee on the struggle with my fitness and gym goals the last couple weeks, and I realized this morning that all the stress of travel and work these last six months, along with my rigorous training schedule, I'm feeling strained.
No matter how much I want to, part of me is burning out. Yesterday, I was hurting and exhausted so I rested, and then my eating went a bit over the top.
Avoiding recrimination, I took time to really think about where I am today.
My goals remain the same, but sometimes you have to let go and stop to move forward. I've pushed myself to the point of everything falling apart before, and that is a cycle I can break
Today, I am going to set easy goals, keep my calories in range, and do the cleaning I've been wanting to get done
I'm taking the time to let the body and the mind mentally recover, even if it costs me a couple training days. So long as I get back to it tomorrow or the next day, I'll quickly regain ceded ground.
Everything is ok. Life is never a static thing. Trying to hold rigidly to a static mean will only leave you hurt and exhausted.
It's a hard won lesson, but I'm getting there.
