Today was a long day. I woke up tired this morning and seemed to stay that way all day. I had a lot of running around to do today so I didn't work out first thing this morning. Well, that and the fact that I was dead tired when I got up. I'm realizing each day just how important nutrition and rest are to my ongoing success. Looking back at yesterday, I understand now that I didn't take in enough calories. Seems so counter-intuitive to me. Less calories and working out has always meant lost weight - right? Not so, and it's being proven to me over and over. I must continue to tweak my caloric intake. I need to eat much more food - I'm doing fairly well with eating healthy but I can definitely see how I need to eat 5 meals (3 meals and two snacks). I missed my snack today and started feeling a little light headed. My energy level dropped significantly. Mapping out my meals is critical to my success. I have to do that and shop accordingly. I've been busy the past few days and slacked off. I can't all that to continue to happen.
What I'm very happy for though is despite the fact that I was super tired and delayed my workout until this evening, I garnered the strength to just get up, get dressed and get it done. What helped me tonight was actually someone else who was contemplating NOT working out. She started talking about how she didn't feel like working out so I encouraged her and in the process encouraged myself. Big win for us both.
Do whatever it takes to get you moving and remember: if you fall down, get right back up and go again.
