  • Mourning my morning exercise buzz

    My alarm went off this morning at 05:45, I hit snooze, I was up too late to go t the gym early this morning.
    Then I remember that it is Tuesday, my weigh day, I make a bargain with myself, if I have lost weight, I'm going back to bed, if not, up and at 'em.
    I walk in a sleepy haze to the bathroom, those horrible scales tell me I have put on half a kilogram. I swear at the scales, record my weight and go back to bed in protest.
    Meanwhile, my snooze goes off and I decide I really will drag my sorry butt outta bed.
    Today, just to be different, I decide to do cardio only. I spend twenty minutes on the bike and twenty minutes on the eliptical cross trainer (I have a walk of ten minutes each way there - so this rounded out nicely to an hour).
    I walk home and notice that I don't have that buzz I normally do when I have finished.
    In fact, I'm still feeling tired. That is not right.
    I go home and make some yummy, cheesey scrambled eggs, they don't taste as good as they normally do.
    And nope, still no buzz. In fact, it is all I can do to stop myself crawling back to bed to sleep. I end up being thirty minutes late for work because I couldn't motivate myself to walk away from a Futurama repeat.
    Its now close to 16:00 and I have hardly finished a single thing at work today.
    I'm out of ketosis according to the ketostix and I think combined with such a wonderful weekend, I'm just bummed, depressed and tired.
    I'm hoping for an early night tonight and a deep, deep sleep - but I'm on-call this week, so anything can happen.

    I'm never one to get induction flu or anything like that, normally I feel like a million dollars on this WOE. I think that is why I'm noticing it so much.

    Thanks for letting me vent

    Oops, what I meant to ask was...

    Do you guys ever get days where you feel like your work out just wasn't worth it?

    For me, this has never happened!

        I had a hard time going to the gym yesterday too...but aren't you proud of yourself that you did it even though you didn't get a buzz out of it?

        Like Iap said..."Those are the days that count double".

        Hope your feeling a little better!

          Hope you are feeling better! I have those days. Maybe it means a whooshie is on the way for you!! Hang in there and continue your exercise. Are you sure you are eating enough fat and veggies? I would review your menu just to double check. You are doing great!!!

            Oh absolutely! I get those days where everythign drags and you have NOOOOO energy and it's like you have lead instead of blood running through your legs. Yesterday I had a hard time just walking two miles - my legs were so sore as if I was punishing them (they're not sore now). It's a strange feeling.

            I agree, if you can make yourself do something those days then that's wonderful. I often skip them, but then I feel bad, etc... But, sometimes you have to listen to your body too - only you know what it's telling you!

                I do the opposite, I force myself to walk even when my legs are aching. In fact, thats when I really decide to push myself. Lately i have started brisk walking, I hope I see some nice results from that, I previously just plodded through my walk, but since doing the brisk walk for as much as I can, MAN my legs are really feeling a burn now.

                  Well, it is a brand new day, I'm starting out again with the best of intentions. I'm not going to the gym this morning but am hoping to try and do some pilates after work today.

                  Thanks for the support.

                  As I said, I think I was shocked because normally, I feel so much better and buzzed - not all drained.

                  I'm still not back in ketosis (that chocolate orange peel on Sunday afternoon was nice but so NOT worth it!) but I'm willing my body to kick in today.

                  Then I can get my buzz back
