Oh Sunday....

.....How you make me feel lazy. haha. well, i was just really tired today. 

Well folks, today is the first day that i let myself miss my workout. i planned on eating lunch, watching the DVD, and then doing the workout (which was Game Day - about 60 minutes). but as i was watching it, i decided i really should take a nap because i would not have made it through the workout. the workout consisted of literally EVERY sport out there! ok maybe not...but there was running, basketball, soccer, swimming, baseball, surfing, football, and i think there was another one too.

So - i took a nap. i thought 'oh i will nap, eat, wait an hour and then do the workout'. the nap felt great. but i woke up feeling...more 'bleh' than i did before the nap! i didn't feel very good, didn't feel like eating or anything. that's when i decided that it would be more beneficial for me to not do the workout. 

Note - it is BETTER FOR YOU if you know you haven't eaten enough (have enough energy) or that well, or just plain aren't feeling well, to LET YOURSELF miss that day's workout. if you do the workout without enough fuel in your body, it won't end up being very productive for you. 

Pay very close attention to how you feel. listen to your body. there is a difference between just being sore/tired and not having the energy to complete a workout, especially when you are doing a high-intensity workout, such as Insanity, P90X or the Asylum. DO NOT OVERWORK yourself, and if you need to miss a day, miss it. or complete a stretch/relief routine instead. you will end up feeling much better. trust me, i have found out the hard way...learn from my mistakes :)

Here's to another GREAT week! bring it.
