Frustration Ensued...

My workout yesterday was tough. Not in the sense that the exercises were too hard or the weights were too heavy. I just didn’t have anything to put into it.

Have you ever had those days at the gym where your whole body feels weak?

You try to push through it, take a deep breath, get your strength back... but it doesn’t happen. That was my experience yesterday. I’d say it wasn’t for a lack of effort but I just couldn’t get it going.

I asked my trainer about it. After we reviewed my diet and sleep, we figured I probably didn’t eat enough and didn’t get enough sleep. Still, it was incredibly frustrating because I couldn’t do things ‘like push-ups’ that are usually my area of strength.

So to be honest, I never really shook that frustration. When I left I felt uninspired and just NOT HAPPY.

Turns out even motivation is not supposed to be easy. The good thing is my trainer at Body-N-Motion wouldn’t let me quit. If I would have been training by myself there’s no way I would’ve pushed that hard.

I’m thankful he did because when I got home my appetite was HUGE and I slept like a baby.

Tomorrow I’ll tell you about Chris’ LEG DAY. (I’m kind of scared!)
