The Ups and Downs of October

I would love to say this has been the best month ever! Sadly it was more of a 50/50 month. I started off a little shaky with the workouts and meal planning. After a day or two I got into my groove and went strong for two weeks straight. I was working out noticing I was gradually getting stronger and had tons of energy. I was was even cooking, and enjoying it! I bought the Oh She Glows cookbook and was making a few meals. They were amazing!!

Naturally I hit my wall. I was impressed however because it had been a full 2 weeks and I was just now starting to get tired. I knew I needed to let me body reload so I took a few extra rest days. By day 4 I knew this was going to bad. I was extremely tired, sleeping an average of 12 hours a day, I was in a lot of pain and I just felt horrible. I was becoming very frustrated, but I know the routine. I needed rest. The problem was trying to get back. My body and mind were at war. My mind was spinning with all the things it wanted to get up a do, but my body was viciously fighting back. It has been a very rough two weeks.

I hate that I don't have anything else to report for you. I am slowly getting back to a good point. I hope to start working out again next week, of course altering the schedule a little. I think I will need to ease into it a little more and maybe take 2 rest days a time. I will say however I am not giving up! I am still very excited about doing this Sprint Triathlon. I just need to keep make the proper adjustments.

There are so many people suffering every day and trying to do everything they can to get better. I am inspired by those individuals and I will keep moving forward, as I hope each of you do too.

Until next month

Have a Safe & Happy Halloween!!
