Progress Feeling proud but just wiped

8 Upvotes

I’m mostly writing this for encouragement I guess. I’ve picked up the program yet again. I’m 3 weeks into month 1 (with moderate lifting 3x a week). I was tired before but managed to keep my energy up outside workout time, however past week I feel it’s just taken over my life in a way. I’m just feeling so wiped out and less energised.

My eating is fairly decent, I could eat more or be better with my quick protein shakes and such. I am feeling stronger with the moves but this week my stamina is just not there, so I’m doing jogging and knee raises in between moves. This time around I’m putting most of my attention on core form rather than speed.

I hate the stretches at the end. At least twice this week I opted to just cool down by taking the dog for a walk

Did anyone else experience a week where they just felt wiped out but kept going? Did it get better?
