Today is all about relaxing and recuperation. No workouts scheduled for today, which my sore butt and thighs are very thankful for. My beat up muscles get a chance to repair themselves and I will repair my damaged motivation by not thinking about working out and eating right.
That does not mean that I will ruin my diet in just one day though. I have actually been really good today. I took my supplement and about 30 minutes later I had a breakfast that consisted of some 2% cottage cheese with fresh fruit, two eggs, over easy, and one slice of whole wheat toast.
After I realized that no workouts were scheduled for today, I decided that I didn’t want to waste the healthy breakfast and the supplements I took. So rather than not doing any kind of physical activity I did a few yoga poses and stretched those muscles that I have used the most over the last few days.
My energy level is still not where it needs to be, but I made a point of going to bed earlier last night and got some more sleep and rest than at the beginning of the week. Sometimes when we start with a new workout routine we feel more beat and exhausted and want to use that as an excuse to quit exercising because in our eyes it’s not making us feel better but worse. But that only lasts for about a week. After that your body gets used to it and you will actually have more energy than before you started working out. So by the beginning of next week my energy level should be up and hopefully my motivation will, too.
