Moving forward when you really want to stop

Sometimes you just have an off week. That has been this week for me. I have gone in for my workouts but I really didn't want to do it. I just didn't feel great and other things just made it worse.  One thing that I hate about being paired up with Margaret is that she does not do sessions during the time that I would really like to go in. I wish I could train at around 2 but she doesn't take clients between noon and 4pm because she teaches a class at 5:30AM and deserves a little break since she also does sessions in the evening. That means I either have to go in during the morning, which I hate or during peak times in the afternoon which makes equipment availability an issue.

Monday I went in at 10:45 which was fine. We did legs and as usual, I was pretty tired when I left. That night was also the first night of my run training. So my legs were pretty tired that night. I was supposed to go in on Wednesday but she ended up rescheduling me for Thursday morning at 10. It was the earliest I had gone in and it was tough getting everything right that morning. I had also ran pretty hard the night before so I was still feeling that. We were supposed to do upper body. Apparently, she forgot that. Instead she had me do lower again and it SUCKED. My legs were so tired. It was the first day that I really hated my workout. I didn't sleep well the night before, had to get up earlier and then had to do lower body on fatigued legs. It was not fun.

Today I went in at 11:15 and that was a little better. We did upper body this time and she really pushed me. I really like that she pushes me but sometimes she over estimates my abilities and it is really tough. We had to change the end of the workout because my forearms were on fire and I could not grip the handles on the last machine well enough to do it. I could barely lift my arms when I was done. Brushing my hair and taking a shower really sucked.

It's been one of those weeks when I just really wanted to stay in bed but I didn't. I'm glad I did it but I'm not happy about it, if that makes sense. Hopefully next week will be better.
