I seem to be doing okay. I mean, I am keeping with my food plan, I am working out on days(like today) that I planned. Therefore, that should mean that I am doing good. In reality that isn't the case. I am stressed out beyond believe and keep having really weird mood swings. I am not sure what to blame in this case. I have a huge test on Monday which is a big source of stress. Not to mention all the benchmark workouts have been on days that I don't go to the gym. Add in the fact that all my free time is suppose to be spent studying and yeah, I might be freaking out.
My mind keeps going back to the point that this might have not been the best time to go for a challenge like this. Tax season is starting and I need to stay on track at work, I am trying to get in all the review I need for this test, while at thes ame time trying to eat a difficult diet and get to the gym. I can't even really say it will get better after monday when I take the test because I need to start studying for the next one, which I was planning on taking in Feb. Plus, tax season will just get worse as deadlines get closer.
I keep telling myself to take deep breaths and I am not the only one who has a ton going on right now. I know I can do this and I know I am not going to withdraw from the challenge, but so far this has been a rough week. I just need to keep moving forward, and I really hope these mood swings vanish.
Deep breath...
I'll echo your sentiment to take a deep breath. It certainly sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now, but you also have realistic goals and a ton of fellow crossfitters who want you to succeed. The key is to plan plan plan. You can do this!
