On days where there is a big exam that seems all consuming, it's hard to maintain what I strive to do on a daily basis. Striving to live the healthiest that I can seems to take a backseat to the major project on my plate. I know it's a constant struggle for most people, but it's definitely a tough one to master as a student.
Sometimes you can't fit that workout in because an extra hour of sleep with do you wonders when you are going to be up late studying. Sometimes meals get skipped, then bigger, slightly unhealthier meals are enjoyed. Sleep schedules are thrown off kilter, and everything becomes slightly out of wack.
I try not to have an all or nothing approach to eating and fitness. Today was an off day because I was busy with an exam, and then needed to rest after it is over. Tomorrow is a new day, where you can make better decisions eating-wise, and can maybe find the time to fit in a great workout.
I mean, if these guys can make the time to find the balance and workout...then I should be able to as well.
Tomorrow is a new day! :-)
I think it is ok to take off a day now and then, especially for exams, as long as it is the exception and not the rule. It is important to do as well as you can in school.
