Knowing When

Hilary and I must be on the same brain wave, because my post is quite similar to hers!

This week, stress has been my middle name. I've been trying to take breaks from studying and really focus on what is important but it's been hard to feel like I am on top of things.

I workout every day because I love it. It makes me feel good, it keeps me going, it gives me my "me" time, and it is just part of my life. Yet when I get stressed, I start to think "maybe I should just study instead of working out today." So I'm not sure that has ever happened, because I always realize how much MORE productive I am when I get a workout it. But when do you say no?

I've been wondering where to draw the line. When do you say "my body needs a break" or "my mind needs a break" or "I just need a me day?" Personally, I feel like exercise is my break and my me time. But I still wonder if going going going is always the best. Ya know?

I guess that's the beauty of all of us having different bodies and learning what is best for US!

Hope it's been a fantastic week :)

Know Thyself

While I was thinking about writing this blog entry, a lot of things were running through my mind about working out.

I think it's so important to know your body.  Know when it needs a rest, and when it needs to be pushed.

AND I am happy to say that I think I may be approaching it.

I think I am finally at the place where I am not lying when I say it's just not the right time/day for a workout.  I'm saying that out of a place of care for my body.  I also know when my body is ready to work HARD and I push it.

Anyway, know they self is such an important part of weight loss, don't you think?
