Back to PT Keri today with sessions resuming as normal, including my own training π₯³
This is your reminder that it is absolutely okay...actually, itβs good...to switch off and go off-plan now and again.
Before Download Festival, I saw posts from people saying they were packing dumbbells.
At the festival, I saw a man on a run, on Bluetooth to someone at home, saying his daughter could have something as long as sheβd been good.
And I just thoughtβ¦ that man is not going home feeling like heβs had a break.
Me? I most certainly am.
Yes, I walked miles. Yes, I danced (well, moshed!). Yes, my toes are battered and I've pulled my calf. But mentally, I feel like Iβve had a proper switch-off.
No tracking everything.
No trying to squeeze workouts in.
No guilt.
No 'Iβll have to make up for this next week.'
Just a break.
I kept yesterday as a day off, not only to catch up on washing etc., but because (from experience) I knew I'd need a day in my pyjamas.
And today, my workout routine starts again. Not with punishment. Not with extra 'catch-up' sets. Not with trying to undo anything.
Just back to where I left off.
Because fitness should fit into your life β not take over your life.
Sometimes you train hard.
Sometimes you rest.
Sometimes you go to a festival, dance until your feet hurt, eat whatβs available, sleep badly, and come home needing a full day in your pyjamas.
And thatβs okay.
In fact, itβs needed now and again.
