Taking a Day Off

Lately I've been focusing on my weight and all my different workout routines. My brain has been working overtime to figure what would the best for me when it comes to exercises and different types of classes that I haven't been sleeping well and have been sleep deprived for the last little while.

So today, I'm taking a day off. I'm taking time off from working out, thinking about working out, how much I weigh, all of it. I think I've been thinking about it WAY to much and stressing myself about it I'm not getting the results I could be when I don't think about it.

I realize now that I worry too much about anything and everything and have to learn how to stop. I have been like this since I was a young child, and never was really guided by anyone and I didn't really have anyone to turn to when I had my insecurities. I love my parents but they are not the type to support unless it was on their terms. So everything was done for them, but not really for me. I worry to much because I want people to be proud of me, because I didn't have it as a young child. I am okay with knowing that now because I have wonderful support from my husband and some great people I have met over the last little while.

So I've decided every Thursday until I go back to work in September is going to be my "day off". I think this will help me get over that hump I've been going through and just get my mind back from running a race 24/7.

This realization I had to day is just one that will help me to be truly happy and truly healthy.

  1. Great idea. I had an offline day yesterday and it really helped me clear my mind. When I sat down after dinner to write a post I was really focused.
    Have a good day.

  2. that is a GREAT idea, Jenn! You do deserve one day a week of just "letting it go"! Such a healthy choice! It's just like they say when trying to get pg: try not to worry/think about it too much...and of course that is when you see results. A day off to veg and feel good is awesome and it will make everything else way less stressful too! Go YOU!
