An update on me!
I return to working out on Monday
In case you don't remember, I posted last week about starting to feel myself going through adrenal burnout. Last time I had it I gained 30 lbs in a matter of months and it took me almost 2 years to recover. Now I know what it feels like, and nipped it in the bud.
I didn't exercise at all this week, and went on a juice fast Monday and Tuesday. My goal was to fast all week, but with a FT job and a toddler, I couldn't do it.
This week, the amount of compliments people gave me were astounding:
1. Did you do something with your hair - it looks great! (Meantime - I need to dye it - but it was looking dead - this week it got shiny!!!)
2. Hey - you are wearing makeup! (I wear makeup everyday - but my skin was glowing)
3. Your skin looks great!
4. Did you lose weight? (Any weight loss from the juice fast was minimal and temporary)
I felt less depressed, less anxious, and less fatigued.
I was overtraining and under-eating, and it was affecting me so drastically.
I wanted to share this with you guys - a break is NEEDED. There is such a thing as doing too much, and it is detrimental to your body.
If you feel you aren't losing weight, or crave sweets, or feel fatigued - take a break for a few days, regroup, relax, ad think of what changes you need to make to get results. It isn't giving up.
