Gooooood Morning! It's day 8 and I'm going to try and make a conscious decision to feel great today! I decide my mood right??
So yesterday started off great and then took a sharp left hand turn for cranky land :-/ Something clicked after lunch and I lost all of my confidence and drive and wanted to take a nap.
Breakfast was 4 mini egg muffins that included bacon, eggs, spinach and onions and 3 bacon wrapped dates. This is the first week where I have everything prepared already so breakfast required 1min in the microwave, which was very nice. Work was plugging along okay but ,in essence, it was a typical Monday. Lunch couldn't come soon enough. I had two leftover sausage stuffed mushrooms! So far I think they are the favorite dish. All day I was struggled with feeling bloated and I think after lunch it all came to a head. I was tired and all of a sudden extremely irritable and bitchy :-( ( I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my victims yesterday)
I arrived at the box and wanted to sleep in my truck instead of get out and change my clothes, not a good sign. I finally went inside and decided to get started right away only to feel like I had lost every bit of strength in my body. :-( It was horrible, I was attempting a backsquat 80# less than my 1 rep max and it felt 90# heavier than my 1 rep max instead! I made a conscious decision that I need to redefine my PR's as to not set myself up for failure. I abandoned the strength determined to start over again today. I did my metcon work and I felt good with my double unders and rope climbs but I was exhausted.
Fast forward to dinner time. I had beef strew that cooked overnight Sunday night. It was pretty delicious. It was filled fwith grass-fed stew meat, carrots, broccoli, onions, garlic and mushrooms.
So today I have decided that I am going to be in a good mood and not get down on myself. I'm going to keep plugging along because I KNOW it's going to get better. Day 10-12 is what I'm hearing. I can't totally make it! Thanks for everyone's support. Sorry today's post is such a downer but I want to be honest with myself as well as everyone who reads this. If you are just starting and go through something similar, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. :-) Happy Tuesday everyone! Xoxo
