Managing Exhaustion
I’m not exhausted yet, but am definitely feeling more tired. I still plan to hit the gym today, however, because we’re doing a whole lotta nothing this weekend other than camping and drinkng.
Oh sure, there might be a little hiking too. But generally speaking, I expect rest. And naps.
And I think that’s the trick to staying motivated and energetic when re-starting a workout program: keep your eye on the rest periods. When you start to run out of energy, determine if you can push through to the rest period.
And then really rest. Do nothing. Put your feet up. Crash. Get intimate with your couch.
That’s one thing I’ll do wrong this weekend — in all likelihood, it will not be that restful. So I may need to take off the early part of next week to recharge. We’ll see.
