No workout = failure?

msumo2009

okay so I work 11 days straight this week and I work 8 hours each day while still trying to workout for at least an hour for 6/7 days, before or after work but sometimes I can't cause I'm too tired yet I still feel like a failure, so I guess my question is how often do u feel like a failure for not working out and how do u get over that feeling of letting yourself down even though you know you don't have the strength or energy to do a workout? Rest is essential I just have this negative mind set that if I don't workout my progress will be nothing

I don't feel like a failure if I don't workout
Stop stressing yourself out, if you are genuinely not always able to fit it in that's ok

Never... that sort of negative self talk is not helpful or healthy at all.

I hear you. I need new knees but I can still work everything else out. Sometimes I just can't workout and I feel disappointed in myself. I'm trying to cut myself some slack. I would like to become buddies if you guys are up for it.

Never. I have missed more workouts than I can count, both out of laziness and out of necessity, but hey! I have lost a lot of weight and achieved so much! I'm pretty damn awesome warts and all. Seeking perfections at all times is pretty damn tiring.
