AGGHHHH

by: mercedes - December 1st, 2009

I don't know what is going on with me and my lack of motivation. I didn't workout for two weeks. I didn't workout the week before my competition or the week after.

I have been exahausted and burned out since I came back. A lot of it is mental, I think because I'm very dissapointed with the results and I've been wondering if I should continue competeting. Also if you throw Thanksgiving in the mix, then you have a recipe for disaster.

So I worked out yesterday and I must say it was pathetic. I know eventually I'll find the drive and motivation to work out hard again but right now I'm feeling pretty blah. I'm one of those people who needs to workout to feel sane. So I'm feeling pretty looney right now!

For those of you who read this, sorry about the rambling

I feel the same way, i become irritable and bummed when i cant release energy with a good workout.

just asses your desires. maybe you don't need to keep competing but you can still train hard and maintain a healthy life all the same and enjoy it!

Either way, have fun, enjoy each day and be happy!

Hey Mercedes I feel ya ! I was the same way and just got my drive back this week. I competed at the end of Septemeber too!! You will get it back. Your body needed that rest after the competition.

I have been there and find the best way to answer the competing question is to lay low and let it come to you. Right now you are at a tought point and it will pass and soon enough you will have the hunger and desire to do it again. Just know we are all here to support you and do not ever hesitate to ask me or your teammates for insight or help. You have a great physique and will only come back stronger champ!

dont beat yourself up, we ALL have been there. Sometimes you just need to give yourself a break, both physcially AND mentally. That way you feel refreshed and motiveated to go back in. Other wise it can be a waste of time, energy and effort.
