    I'm thinking of re-evaluating my caloric intake since I follow the MFP set up and do ok but i do make sure to eat enough and i try to stay hydrated. I guess a lot of us have our days. as long as i suck it up long enough to finish ican cry when i get home lol

    I'm supposed to meet with a nutritionist who is in the military and is also a personal trainer so hopefully it will be a helpful meet up.

    Loving all the GIF'S by the way lol!

    but it sounds like you've been pushing TOO HARD. everyone needs a break. i hate the fitspo sayings where people say "rest is rust" or "train insane or remain the same" or whatever.

    this is a table, and it has four legs. nutrition, cardio, strength training, and rest. no one leg is more important then the other. you need to rest, because if you don't you risk injury from fatigue.

    i like your analogy! thanks for it!

    Your body is telling you what it needs when it won't let you push harder, you definitely needed a break and your body will continue to remind you in the future when it needs one by not letting you work as hard as you really want to.

    Happens to me pretty often when I have been sick and go back at it hard... then my body will tell me to chill the eff out by not letting me work as hard as I want to. Sucks, true, but it's best to listen to your body.

    Honestly, you have on days and off days and when you're having an off day the best thing to do is say . . . I'm having an off day which means that tomorrow will be better. Honestly, it's a simple as acknowledging it, then shaking it off and moving on.

    Totally agree with this. Some days just are not great. Bet you have a better day today or tomorrow!

    this post made me laugh! :-) my only advice is to maybe incorporate a few more rest days. Although I am probably the queen of resting too much (translation: stuck on a plateau), I always ALWAYS come back stronger. your muscles need to repair and grow.
