The past week or so, I have lost some of my focus. It has been a combination of weather, stress at work (and a little at home as well), and disappointment on the scale. I didn't have an issue getting workouts in, although my intensity in the gym took a hit. I'm glad to say that I snapped out of it today as I was able to break 2 personal records in 1 day! First, I swam my farthest distance, 825 yards, in 30 minutes over lunch, my previous record was 800 yards in the same time. Then, I ran a mile in 10:22 on the treadmill, my previous record was 10:30. Those successes were just what I needed to break out of this mini-funk I was in.
If you ever find yourself losing focus or starting to doubt yourself, find something that you know you can succeed at and push yourself. Sometimes all it takes is a little success to get your mind right and get back on track.
