Monday
PM Workout:  20 Minute Pilates Circle Workout

Elliptical - 1.08mi, 30 minutes, random ramp from 10% - 40%
Notes:  Incline workout was a bit of a killer again tonight.  Elliptical was a bit painful too.

Friday
REST
Notes:  Took a rest day today.  I'm just really tired and stressed and figured a break would be a good idea.

Saturday
REST
Notes: Had a bit of a mental breakdown today.  Frustration hit me really hard.  I feel like I'm doing what I should with the eating, I'm working out, but the scale and feeling in clothing isn't changing.

Sunday
REST
Notes:  Still struggling mentally today.  I just don't have the energy to get miles in today.  I know that isn't going to help my situation, but I'll work on it.

Well that's about a unwanted as another hole in my head.  This really hit me this week.  I don't want to be going up, I want to be going down.  It's hard not to get down when you see results like this.

Training Notes
The beginning of the week was pretty successful.  It was the end of the week that really threw me for a loop.  I just got really frustrated and unhappy with my lack of progress.  I know it's normal and I'll get past it.

I did pretty well with food this week, until my breakdown over the weekend.  I know I did some damage there.  I'm doing my best to stay on track here, but I'm finding it very difficult right now.  I know I just have to stay with it though.

I know I just have to keep believing I can do it and things will come together.  What are your stumbling blocks and how do you get past them?
