Now that I have gotten used to working out 5 or 6 days a week, I really struggle with taking a day off to recover/relax. I know I need it but sometimes it's just hard. Working out in the morning really sets the mood for me for the rest of the day. I feel good, I feel like I have worked hard and accomplished something. I miss that on my days off.
Trust me, I know I need the day of rest and recovery, especially since I screwed up my calf last weekend. But I kind of spend the whole day beating myself up about it. I have actually skipped a recovery/relax day and worked out when I should have rested. I feel it later in the week - I am more tired, my workouts are less productive, etc. You just need the day off!
And to make matters worse, it's Sunday. Anybody else get the Sunday blues? You know what I am talking about - when you cannot enjoy Sunday evening because you know you have to go back to that paper laden desk on Monday and the phone calls and the bosses and the demands and the time constraints and everyone saying they wanted their stuff done yesterday. Yep, those are the Sunday blues. And the Sunday blues make me EAT! Which is why I need to work out! It's a vicious cycle . . . . .
Well, I start week 3 of the second phase of P90X2 tomorrow. So there is that to look forward to. Just have to get through this day of rest . . . .
