Don't Call It A Comeback!

We all have struggles in life. For me, I struggle with controlling my cravings and making sure that I get my workouts in. I know I'm not alone. I have had to also find the balance between pushing myself to the breaking point because I don't like to have any quit...and finding excuses to keep myself from even getting started. I'm getting better at this. I'm learning to find my balance. Two days ago I tried to get my workouts done. I gave it "the old college try", but something just wasn't clicking. Exhaustion is something that has been plaguing me for a while in this pregnancy...partly due to insomnia, partly due to, well, being pregnant. I keep pushing though and sort of hitting my limits. So, I slowed down my pace and cut the workout short. I did go back later in the day and bang out a walking/jogging mile which made me feel more accomplished. That night, as I sat down to get work done, I decided to continue to get some rest, then start the next day right. I hit it hard. And, yes. I did it! Sleep, well, I've stopped pressuring myself to get too much of that. I did enjoy resting, however. I killed the workout yesterday and did really well today. I know it's a bunch of baby steps, but I consider this round a win. I feel good. That's the best part!
