Ups and Downs always happen for me. So if yesterday was a high then today was a low. I felt like eating a pound of chocolate, but I still remember how I felt the last time I had a candy bar. Not worth it and won’t make me feel any better. I’m just pushing thru and cutting my self some slack if I end up needing it.
Exercise: 40min Turbo Cardio Party Mix 2
I almost didn’t make my workout this afternoon, but I knew I needed it even though in the moment I wanted to take a nap. I did my best to remember how I feel after the work out, that didn’t motivate me. I took out some of my frustrations out during the workout with the punching and kicking. It felt good. I wasn’t very focused and my mind kept wandering elsewhere. The good thing is, I did it. That felt great.

Added an extra snack today because I needed it. My muscles were very sore for all the stairs yesterday, and I wanted to make sure they had the fuel needed to recover. And…I was dragging. I’ve got a bad case of the blues. I’ll pull out of it soon. Man do I ever crave sweets when I’m down.
Motivation:
Today is the day…. or tomorrow. When I’m having one of these down days I simply realize I’m down and decide that tomorrow will be better and it won’t last forever. I’m sure it’s hormone related. I could blame everything on hormones. I could decide to snap out of it right now. I know I’m behind on sleep, and that tends to affect my energy and mood. So, tonight I’ll try to go to sleep at 9:30.
