The human body is a creature of habit. When we get into a routine, the body adjusts. Once we get out of that routine, the body reacts to it - maybe you feel more tired, maybe you feel a bit sore... whatever the reaction is, your body is doing this in order to try to adjust. This is normal, and ok, but it's very important to understand it.
With the birth of my little girl, the demand for family time and increased responsibility has risen. I was forced to abandon my half-marathon training for a week due to all the changes that were happening - in particular - sleep patterns.
Today I was able to get a good circuit workout in, but definitely noticed my body was reacting to all the changes. The important thing is not to get discouraged, don't get upset, and don't give up. Just allow for time for your body to adjust to your new lifestyle habits, and gradually build up your routine again. (sometimes, that adjustment can also be a nice break for the body too)
