Wellness Wednesday:
Burnt
I am literally-physically, figuratively-emotionally Burnt.
Exhausted beyond expression.
And Yep, I got my first sun burn of the summer - on the inside of my legs, thighs, and calves - and it definitely took a toll on my body.
It's affecting my workouts - my sleep - and internally I have been feeling nauseous since I got my sunburn.
Who knows - there could be other contributing factors but from Sunday through Today, Wednesday - I have felt like I have been wearing a weighted vest when I workout - like 300 pounds.
An overall body stiffness paired with extreme parchedness.
Like I have been literally cooked.
Tuesday seemed to hit me the hardest as I was approaching my Wednesday Weigh-In - Yes I did spend my evening outdoors in above 90 degree weather - I had extreme cotton mouth - had difficulty swallowing/breathing - and I was absolutely pounding water with no solace.
I had to cut my Tuesday Evening Workout Down - No Biking.
Due to the exhaustion and extreme thirst - I don't fault myself on not making weight this week - I believe a large majority of the weight I gained was from overcorrecting by guzzling fluids like crazy.
Hopefully, these issues are in the past - I don't think I can take another week like this.
Onward and Upwards.

Closing Thoughts:
The Good:
I didn't lose weight - but - I did not gain too much.
The Bad:
Recouping from a Sunburn. Feel extremely parched. Feel exhausted.
The Ugly:
I want to give up so bad on working out. I have no passion. The only motivation I have - the only reason why I am working out is the hatred for myself if I don't.
