Hello and happy Monday! Slow start to the week – I feel a little under the weather this weekend. I got some weird stomach bug or something on Friday evening and didn’t feel the best on Saturday. Sunday was better, but I am finally feeling back to myself today.
Not that many workouts went on last week. Decided to give myself two days off in a row in the beginning of the week and then with getting a little sick, took an extra day off on Saturday. As much as I’ve been trying to get in 5 workouts a week, it’s okay to go off plan sometimes. I mentioned last week sleep has been sucking and our schedules are pretty busy, so something had to give. And it looks like it was my workouts last week. As I’m sitting here typing this on Monday afternoon, I don’t really feel like going to the gym, but I know if I do, it will make me feel so much better.
I know taking too many days off in a row gets me in a weird place where I feel like I don’t want to workout as much. So getting to the gym when I don’t want to is important when I feel like this. After I post this I’m going to go put my gym clothes on and make my way there. Sometimes doing the things you don’t really feel like doing will help you get to where you want to be.

You do some really intense workouts at CrossFit, and I love how you keep the balance of pushing yourself to do it on the days where you know it will benefit you and you know how to rest when you need to.
Thanks Emily! It’s been hard to scale back some, but my body definitely thanks me!
