This photo has nothing to do with working out, but since I love Apple and I love putting photos in it stays and it matches my mood.
I missed posting last week due to the EMOttawa Launch, which was so great. But, a week later and I feel like I am crashing. I have been on a good exercise kick lately. I have been walking 3k 4 out of 7 mornings, swimming on Fridays with Apple (yes it is still exercise to keep your child above water and drag her all around the pool) and I have been running 5k twice a week. I am doing pretty good.
I have also been back on track with my good eating habits, cutting back on excess carbs, adding in extra protein, vegetables and fruit.
So why the crash? Well, everything that is up sometimes comes down. And today that is me. I have been riding a good high for a couple of weeks, good food, good exercise, good business, meeting new people but, today that came crashing down. I felt a little blind sided but, these things happen and when they do we just have to pick ourselves up again and keep on going. So for today I am managing a crash, a little extra carbs and no running for me tonight. And tomorrow when the sun comes up, it will be a new day with new direction and hopefully I will be on the upside of the crash. If nothing else I hope to lace on my running shoes and run through some of this crash that I am experiencing.
We all have them, but the key is to get up from the crash and keep on going.

I know how you feel, I actually cried at the end of a gym class today…I felt like such a looser, 33 years old crying in front of people. On a different note, we got a community newspaper today and I saw your photos from the event you went to at Lago and it gives you credit below the pictures! Pretty cool.
It happens to us all, you are right. Take the break and then get back at ‘er!
🙂
The best news is that tomorrow is a new day and you can just start right where you left off! Too many people get discouraged after they deviate from their plan…and stay off track. But just hop back on and away you go! 🙂
I know how you feel, although my crashing has nothing to do with too much activity. At this point it is not enough sleep. I am okay for two or three days then oops I am a mess. Yesterday was one of those days for me. Today is better thank goodness.
