I've been having pretty extraordinary results for the last 2 months. I've averaged 2lbs a week, sometimes more on good workout weeks. I'm starting to notice my energy level is going down a bit even with proper sleep. I'm also noticing my weight lifting is doing fine, but my cardio is slowing down, I've got no energy it feels like. I don't know if its a motivation thing or what is going on exactly. I'm still looking toward my goal and I don't want to give up, but it seems like the flame did take a hit in the last week. I'm training daily, my legs are beat, I'd like to take a break, but mentally I need to train, and on top of that I feel like a failure if I don't do anything.
Today's weekly weight in I lost 1lbs. That is still a victory, but it's not what I was hoping to see. I got used to working my ass off and getting that 2-2.5lbs / week and even if it still went down, I feel like I failed. I have a goal, and my goal is to hit 245 by the end of May 2022. I know it is very do-able, but for that I need to stay consistent and keep pushing myself. I need to keep my discipline going and I need to suffer and make sacrifice to reach my goals. Nothing great was ever achieved easily and I know I need to push and keep going, but this week has been particularly tough. I know 1 day off a week would not be the end of the world and would probably even make me progress faster due to the recovery, but my brain right now is obsessed with losing weight and I don't know how to allow myself to take a day off.
Anyone been in a similar position I'm all up for suggestion and advice because this week really felt terrible to me.
