After weeks of taking on too much at once, my body and mind are shouting, "Stop!"
I fell asleep by 6:30 pm, exhausted, with headache, and managed to get to my lower body workout today only to feel like I was present physically...not a workout in my opinion. My body is exhausted...my mind is mush.
So, what brought all this on, you ask?
1) I signed on to be an instructor at my gym- this means for the last two weeks I have been taking training classes (sometimes lasting over two hours).
2) I continue to train for my May marathon- this means that after two hour workout days I am running long miles.
2) I decided to stay with my early plan of doing a triathlon- this means I signed up for an 8 week training to start in mid-April and have been in adding pool time and spinning classes in order to have an appropriate base when training starts.
3) I am still running a few times a week plus long run.
4) I am still taking kickboxing 3x a week and strength training 2-3 x a week.
5) lots of changes happening at work- this means mental stress and exhaustion.
Any questions?
My eating habits are not changing- still vegan and loving it!
I have been learning so much about the planet and its relationship with plant-based eating and it makes me feel great about my decision to eat this way.
I have also been following a great blog (The Crucible) after hearing the author speak at a clinic held in my city. Check it out!
Now I shall rest.
