Burnt Out

This last week has been difficult. I have had cravings up the ying yang, I've had to make myself go to the gym, I am just burnt out and I'm not sure where it's coming from. If it's work, lack of sleep, working out or all of the above. I overate at dinner last night. Why? I don't know. I don't know why sometimes I do that. I know I'm going to fill like crap afterwards, I know it's not good for me. So then why? Am I sabatoging myself? If so, what am I afraid of? And if that's not it, am I just tired and loopy? Or maybe I'm just being too hard on myself. I tend to do that. It wasn't like I binged or anything, I just ate a whole sandwich at CPK, when I know I am full after a half. I hate it because I feel like my workout with Ashley was wasted. It's so frustrating sometimes. But all I can do is forget about it and do better today.

I did go to kickboxing class this morning despite my exhaustion. It was hard, I was so tired. I wanted to quit, but I didn't. I worked through the pain. I'm glad I did it. I didn't have the energy to do any extra cardio afterwards like I usually do, but I'm still satisfied. And I think I'll be ok the rest of the week on my eating.

Ashley is going to be gone next week and she gave me homework to take care of me. I've decided to stay home on Sunday instead of heading down to Spanaway. I need a day to sleep in and rest. And maybe spend some time with the new boy. Hee hee.

I've decided to mimick the workout Ashley had me do on Monday next week while she's gone. My legs have never felt better! Here it is:

Exercise: Weight: Reps:
Burpie with push up - 30sec x 15
Pliet Squat 10 lbs m. ball 30sec x 15
Mt. climbers - 30 sec x 15
Lunge walk - 2 laps
Jump Rope - 30 sec x 15
Bridges on ball - 30 sec x 15

It is possibly the hardest workout I've ever done. Make sure to do at least 30 min. of cardio before this if you dare!! ;) Burpies with push ups is where you jump out with your feet and then jump out, do a push up, jump in and then stand up. Bridges on ball is where you take the exercise ball and lie on your back with your feet on the ball. You then push in with the ball, lifting yourself with your legs. You're suppose to keep your hips up at all times while you're doing the in and out movement, but I could only lift my hips on the lift. This really works your hamstrings.

Yesterday we worked on the back, which is my favorite. My back is looking so nice these days, I just feel like I'm turning into a lady and it feels good. :)
