Happy Easter Queens,
For the first time since joining team queen last year, I hit a total energy slump last week. Terrible timing with week 1 of the summer challenge. I started the week off well, I was buzzing to begin the summer challenge and I was rearing to go, then I think I got a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of choice and the change in times, combined with it being Easter (days off work etc). I didn't realise what a creature of habit I had become this past year! So I hit a low energy slump on Thursday, woke up just feeling like I could not get up and work out, which is so unlike me. As the days went on, I started saying, ah it's Easter... I'll take a break. Then I started eating lots of chocolate, drinking cocktails too. Yesterday I felt absolutely rubbish, just felt so down and like I could cry. I couldn't even focus on the movie I was watching, my energy was so low.
This morning I was waiting to join in a live workout as I thought that would snap me back into the routine again, however, when there wasn't one on, I decided to try Tracey's class from last week. It was just what I needed. It was so good to take a strength class when feeling so low, because I feel like I got the endorphin hit from the excercise, but I didn't have to challenge myself with the idea of a fast paced high intensity work out.
Just thought I would put this out there in case anyone else feels the same. Also, Tracey kept saying "no one is going to quit today" and "We're just going to get it done" and I honestly felt like that pulled me through. I know I'm going to feel much better today now that I've moved around, and also, hopefully the doms won't be so bad tomorrow.
