Ever have weeks

Where you have no energy to get through your workouts? I am so depressed with how I'm doing this week. I have no energy at all, and I feel like a failure this week.

Re: Ever have weeks

It happens all the time. Hey, didn't you just post recently about how you are working so hard, have an article due, are taking care of a toddler, etc.? It's been a tough week for you. Everyone has periods where their workouts are not up to snuff. My personal trainer always put it in perspective for me so well: You know how you feel so much weaker, for having not worked out for a week? Well, whatever you lose in a week, you can put back in a week. Nothing tragic there. And hey, if you gain any weight this week - whatever, it's ONE WEEK and you can take it off again just as fast.

Long term, you've been doing great. Focus on that.

This happens to me on occasion. 2 weeks ago I couldn't run more than 3.5 miles on the treadmill which is so not like me. I just listened to my body and did some extra strength training and called a day. By the following week I was back up to my 25 miles a week and two spin classes.

It's ok, give yourself the break your body is begging for adn then pick it up in a day or two.
