But First...Let Me Take a Rest

It’s okay to take a rest.

No, really, it is.

Last week, I worked out Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and had not worked out since.

Thursday was a wash with the holiday.

Friday, I was all ready to workout and then an unintentional, yet much needed nap happened. Then I wanted to go for ice cream, so I did that with my mom.

I skipped Zumba Saturday morning because I did not have any clean sports bras. For real, that is why I did not go to class.

Then yesterday (Sunday) morning, instead of working out, I applied for some part-time gigs.

I very well could have beaten myself up and should all over myself, “I should be working out instead of this.”

But we all...

A. Need a rest sometimes

AND

B. Fall off the bandwagon.

What is important is that we get right on track.

Also, in those times where we are on a workout rest, it is important to be even more conscious of what we are putting in our bodies.

I was super conscious of what I ate this past week, even with the holiday.

And I am happy to say, despite having not worked out, I feel great. I do not feel like a blob/like I gained 20 pounds.

If you find you have missed several workouts, stop beating yourself up for it and get right back on the saddle.

Xo,
