I am fastly approaching the end of the semester next week and have been highly bombarded by homework and stress. My energy levels have been at their lowest and I am finding it hard to drag my butt to the gym. But I am still going everyday and working my hardest. Last night though I decided I needed a break my body is yelling at me to take a break, so for the first time in months I skipped the gym. I know I had major withdrawls for not going but I actually got to bed early and slept well. For weeks now I make it to the gym six days a week sometimes twice a day. I have been reading that even though working out is great for relieving stress your body needs rest as well. Your not going to gain weight just by skipping a few days at the gym to take a breather. In fact your metabolism will still work hard to digest all the nutrients you are taking in. In looking forward to the next week and a half being over with I am also taking a trip to Las Cruces to see my good friends after that I am back in full gear. I am looking into a few new things for articles that have sparked my interest. Its also time to step up my game at the gym so that I don't hit that plateua period again which I hate and decreases my motivation. One thing that has been keeping me motivated are the amazing comments people are giving me on how improved my physique has become. This gives me the greatest motivation to keep pushing forward. There is also nothing better than getting a compliment from a complete stranger! I am looking forward to posting new articles and some yummy recipes I have been experimenting with!
