On top of all that I even got a wierd cramp in my right shoulder (non injured/recovering one) today during the tricep kickbacks. Also for the second day running I had a sharp pain/tweak in my lower back during the windmills (happened last week too but I shrugged it off).
I also have little hard nodule/knot on my left bicep that's arrived for some reason???
Hmmmmm I don't want to let myself or anyone down but I think my body is telling me enough is enough of this program - I think I need a rest and a change.
I really wanted to see this one through but to push on and really injure myslef just isn't worth it. My body clearly needs more rest than this program allows.
Also the joy is gone for me and I've said before when I stop looking forward to my workouts then its time to change.
At the end of the day I'm not doing these 80 days for a competition or photo shoot or anything like that. I've had some great results doing what I have so far.
My core is much stronger and I think many of these workouts are great but to push on for another 3 weeks with my shoulders unhappy and my lower back talking to me, will do me no favours whatsoever.
I don't know what it is about Autumns program but whenever I do them I dont sleep well at all and I've always been a good sleeper. Which obviously is affecting my recovery overall. I've been telling myself for last couple of weeks that I'll be alright, just keep pushing on but lets face it, where is the fun in that.
It's about health and fitness and being happy living a fit life, not stressing over not enough sleep, rushing through workouts and not enjoying things.
Sorry for the long post but I felt I needed to explain - sorry guys!!!
