Break time woes!

  Hey Queens 👋

  So today marked my first workout back since last Thursday (Brothers wedding so lots of celebrating was done in fairness) but i found i was totally disheartened! 

  I have been doing these workouts since they first started on Instagram, back in March at least 4 a week if not more. I have loved every second of them and I really actually found myself missing them this week and at the weekend! My progress over this time has been absolutely amazing, both physically and mentally.

  So 5 days off i thought, no problem I'll be straight back in to it! I done the 35 minute burn on Instagram from a few Saturdays ago, loved it then, and still love it now.

  But omg!!! I thought i wasn't going to make it through, i even struggled with the Waka one of my faves!! I was so gutted how much i struggled, especially after the 28 day challenge i had been feeling so strong!! Does this happen anyone else? Is it normal to see such regression after such a short time? 

  I know its totally fine to have an off day, but after 5 days off i didn't think i was due one. 

  Don't get me wrong its not put me off one bit, im back now and more determined than ever to get back to it, but just thought I'd share my day with you all 😅

  Happy Wednesday everyone 😊😊

  @Danielle McKay Happy Wednesday to u 2 Queen. I hope u had a brilliant day at the wedding & enjoyed the few days break. I completely understand where u r coming from. U wld think "ah its only a few days & I'll b straight back into it again" And bang 10 mins into 1st workout & ur nearly dead. For me I blame all the sugar & excuse the expression here, shite food I eat when I take a break. I wld eat stuff that I normally wldnt because I was on hols & it wld just drain me completely. It turns out that I was not getting enough nutrients from all the stuff I ate & it just sat there draining me plus I always seem to forget to drink enough water also so defo doesn't help. So no Queen u r not on ur own. But ur back in the game again girl so u're going to knock it out of the park as usual. 💓

  @Audrey Browne thanks so much Audrey! Yeah it is actually mad the difference a few days makes doesn't it?? Well i was back again this morning, struggled a little at the start again but by the time sexy back came around i was back to top form and loving it, so hopefully that's me back to myself now 😅

  Yeah totally agree on the food side too, without my workouts and bad food i am generally grumpier in general and much less energy and bad sleeps so im so glad to be back to my routine!

  Thank you you've made me feel so much better about it 🥰🥰

  @Danielle McKay audrey is so right, each day or wk can be so different and it cud be down to food, sleep,hormones etc. You did it, you felt better after and another day you'll feel so much stronger!!! The hardest part is doing it, well done queen!!!!! X

  Yes this happened to me I went away last weekend and was eating so badly and wasn't doing any workouts the whole time I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to jump straight back into it but it actually made me even more driven because I was feeling bloated and yucky. I think we need to remind ourselves to enjoy the nights out and celebrations and not to panic about the damage your doing once you just get back at it when you can. I took my measurments after the weekend thinking I would be back to square one again but I wasn't. Its all about consistency enjoying the wild weekends and the super spicy workouts. Don't be so hard on yourself queens life is also for the living!! xx

  @Danielle McKay I have experienced this before. In February I ran a half marathon for the first time and had been running frequently at different distances during the weeks before. So after the half I thought oh I can easily smash a PB doing a 5k park run. I hadn't run for a week after the half and did the 5k and it killed me! I was so surprised given I had managed to run a half marathon a week before. But it does come back quickly 😊, we should always take time to enjoy ourselves!!
