Forgive me blog, for I have sinned. It has been ONE day since I Shredded. LOL.
So last night I was so absolutely freaking tired. I didn’t sleep more than a few hours on Sunday night and worked a full day on Monday. I had zero energy, was cranky, and the very last thing I wanted to do was work out. Normally I’d tell myself to suck it up and deal, but in reviewing the last 37 days in a row of exercise, I think I’ve earned myself a day or two off. So I took it. And it felt good.
I was getting a little worried that I might be becoming addicted to working out– not really in the sick sense, but in the sense that I worry that I won’t keep going if I give my body the break it needs. I needed to be able to rest a day and pick it back up the next day. By this point, exercise is kind of rote– I come home, I change, I pop in the VHS or the DVD, I eat dinner, I relax for the night. On the weekends, I work out before I shower and dress for the day. This is my schedule, now. It has felt weird to do anything else, so my guess is that tonight when I get home, I’ll fall into the same routine that I’ve established over the last month or so. I never meant to create a streak of exercise days in a row… that wasn’t ever my intention. I was doing a month of walking, and then switching to something else. Something else turned into a 30 day program.
I’ll likely make up the day I missed somewhere toward the end, or on a day when I just have way too much energy, I will do two levels or something. Or it’ll spill onto July 1st. Whatevs.
I’m cool with the no change in weight, too! Saturday morning I was up to 249, so I’ll take 245, no problem. I monitor my weight daily, because I like to know what’s going on and make corrections if I seem to be going in the wrong direction. The scale has been up since I started Shredding, what with adding the weights and the higher impact exercise. If I saw 250, I was going to hurt someone, so I’m glad the tip of the gain stopped at 249, and now we’re back down to normal. If I hadn’t have tracked my gains and losses every day, I’d have had no idea I was up that high and I wouldn’t have taken precautions to correct it. I’m glad I did that.
So. I am still sitting at -24lbs. Can I please get under 245 sometime this year? Damn.
Got to get ready for work and get my day underweigh. Didja see what I did there? HA! Looking forward to seeing how my other HealthyYou’ers are doing today!

Sarah´s last blog ..You win, Internets
Thanks! :D
37 days?!? Damn, girl! You EARNED that rest day! :)
“I was getting a little worried that I might be becoming addicted to working out…”
I’ve been in a similar place where that work out ruled my life, and the slightest deviation from plan would see me in tears for missing a work out. It was awful and unhealthy. I’m glad to hear that you have a good handle on it. <3

HAHA yeah. I had to go ahead and break that streak otherwise I’d become obsessive with it.
You totally earned your rest day – when I saw a personal trainer for while, she said they were really important especially after strength training. I think you’re awesome for loving your exercise! Good job, lady!
I weigh every day too – its the only way I can keep from keening if I see a slight gain. Have a great week! Oh -love that you knew my Golden Girls reference. :) What are we going to do without Rue? Sigh.
