Day 143

The past couple of days I have felt tired.....overly tired...I am just not sure why.  I have been doing my workouts but it has taken me longer to do then it should and I feel like I am lacking energy during my workouts.  I weighed in today and I gained .7, putting me back to 139 lbs...I am not surprised.  I have to get re-focused...I have been adding too much extra stuff to my carb servings (1/2 tbsp butter here...a tsp of honey there)....I have to better about it.  Also, I need to approach my workouts with a different attitude.  I need to save all my energy for them and work as hard as I can.  I am not stressing over a .7 gain...but I know how I feel...and I feel like I could be working harder...and that is EXACTLY what I am going to do.  I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!
