Well, I’ve got to say, tonight was not one of my best workouts. Not even close. The other gals in the group didn’t look like they were having an easy time, or a blast- no doubt it was tough. But whatever they brought, I left “it” at home.
It’s been a while since I’ve had one of “those” workouts, and it’s really kind of bummed me out. I have to say, though. Both the other girls and Whit were supportive, but sometimes there’s just no feeling better about doing badly.
I still feel a little bummed about it- I just couldn’t hack it. I started feeling queasy and dizzy, and just couldn’t push myself through it.
It occurred to me that I had eaten a bowl of cereal this morning around 9, but nothing since, and that probably accounted for much of it. Not very smart.
It was a crazy day, with my son home from school, trying to work, etc., and by the time I thought, “I’m hungry,” it was too late to eat- too close to my workout. I totally forgot about it until I was midway through my bicep curls.
Anyway, I was really bummed when I got home, still a little shaky and feeling like I failed. But, after posting my thoughts on Twitter, I got some terrific encouraging messages from lots of people. I’ll be back tomorrow (making sure I’ve eaten), and sometimes that’s the important thing. Showing up, pushing through, sticking around when you feel like you missed your target, and coming back.
Having support is definitely a big help too.
