A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

Happy Monday! Doesn’t really feel like a Monday though does it? Long weekend always throw me off. Last week was a little rough – I got in all of my workouts (except Sunday), but sleep was majorly lacking. If you missed it, we got a puppy last week. He is the sweetest guy ever and we love him so much, but the first couple days were a lot of work. Sleep was pretty much nonexistent.

The first two nights Cashew (that is our pup’s name!) cried all night in his crate. It was the saddest thing ever, but we weren’t going to give in to him. I think I probably got 5-6 hours total the first two nights combined. The next few nights were a lot better as we moved his crate into our bedroom. He started to sleep a lot better, but we still had to get up every couple hours to take him out to go to the bathroom. It was all kind of a blur to be honest.

As much as working out and eating right is important to living a healthy lifestyle, so is sleep. Trying to lean out, gain muscle, or reduce inflammation. Sleep more. Lack of sleep is shown to reduce immune function, increase inflammation, increase cravings, and hinder weight loss or muscle gain. I once read that if you slept less than 7 hours, you shouldn’t train that day. SAY WHAT?! Yeah, that was pretty eye opening for me too.

I strive to get 7-8 hours each night. I’m aiming for over 8, but some nights it’s just hard. I did train last week on less then 7 hours a few days, but did I go my hardest or try to PR? Heck no. One day I opted to sleep in and workout in the evening instead. If you feel tired and have no energy, give yourself some grace. Workout in the evening or just straight up take a day off. You could be counting macros, taking all the supplements, and lifting all the weights, but if you aren’t prioritizing your sleep, it’s going to be an uphill battle.

    I love how flexible you are and how gracious you are with yourself Kelly. It’s so true that we have up and down weeks, and less sleep always equals less than stellar workouts, but grace is so important. You’re seriously an athelte that really inspires me; thank you for sharing! 🙂

      Thanks Emily, I really appreciate it! It’s taken me awhile to get here, but giving myself grace has helped so much with my mindset and staying consistent with working out.
