Shoulders

My back (rhomboids and traps) and hamstrings are still sore today from CrossFit on Wednesday. As much as I enjoy CrossFit, I don't enjoy being in pain for multiple days after- limiting the number of further workouts I can have in a week.

The more I think about it, the more I realize how much my mental well being and my physical health/strength are related to going to the gym. On days when I don't workout I feel like a total loaf. I binge eat and feel crummy. Not sure why. When I go to the gym, I eat healthy, have a positive outlook etc. They are two very intertwined things for me and I can't seem to separate them. Maybe it's a good thing? Maybe not. Hard to say. I should want to eat well every day, not just on gym days. That should be my new goal although the "cheat day" thing is helping quite a lot since I don't let myself eat junk during the week anyway.

I went to the gym today anyway despite my sore muscles and just tried to avoid working them too much.
