Tired but Hold Strong

I haven't been this tired in a VERY VERY VERY long time! It's more than just sleepy, my body is just dead and I just don't want to do anything I am so tired. Definitely dragging ass - there is no other way to put it. This whole week I have felt this way. I sit at my desk and stare at my computer blankly and have to catch myself to get back to work. I absolutely did not want to work out yesterday and I did it not once but twice. I did feel better after the first time - Jillian Michaels always kicks my butt and then we got onto the treadmills and fast walked for 10 minutes. I was doing okay afterwards until about 3:30pm and then I just crashed! I went and swam after work with my boyfriend and only did 1050. I couldn't do any more. I physically was dead. I didn't feel as great after this one, in fact I was moving really slow afterwards in everything; walking, thinking, etc.
I actually almost broke down while swimming I was soo tired. I pulled myself together because I was swimming with my boyfriend and I didn't want him to think I was crazy for crying while swimming because I was so tired. I know it is a bit crazy, but we have all gotten to that point of being so tired that the only emotion left is to cry.  I pulled it together and I started thinking while I was swimming is this normal the way I am feeling? Is it just my body adjusting to working out again? Have I pushed it too had too fast? Am I eating enough? What can I do differently? Should I change anything? My body will adjust right so just hold strong and keep going? Am I just making this be bigger than it is in my head?

Here is what I came up with - Yes I am obviously tired there is NO doubt about that. I did sleep well last night so feel a tad better this morning, however today I am taking the day off from working out. I can't workout during my lunch hour anyway because I am meeting someone for lunch outside of work. I don't really need to workout after work either, a day off isn't going to kill me. Plus my boyfriend is leaving for the weekend and I want to spend a little bit of time before I take him to the airport. Okay decision made, day off! I also concluded that I definitely might be pushing myself too much, so I am going to back off just a tiny bit, first by taking today off. Nothing big maybe 55 or 50 minutes instead of 60 on Sat and I have been pushing myself on the treadmill, I need to stay put for a bit and not get to overly eager. I have only been in the pool like 5 times, I don't have to be testing myself so much  - keep it simple silly! I'm going to add a multi-vitamin each day, I think that will help out a bit. I am going to make sure that I am eating ALL my calories every day too and not be short. This weekend I am going to get lots of sleep and work on getting a bit more sleep every night after that too. If there was one thing I learned while being an athlete it was to listen to my body, and that is what I have to do now and probably more than ever. I am going to keep chugging along and I know that I will get back on track. I just have to keep my head held high, maybe clench my teeth and bit, but don't give up - that's exactly what I am going to do! Hold Strong!

Just Too Funny!!!
