Today something negative happened to me (not going to go into detail because I'm afraid I'll be called a troll as happened when I posted that I pause the workout DVD) and I didn't work out. I feel guilty but it's normal to skip a day if something bad happened and you're stressed out, right?

If something bad happens to me and I'm stressed, I make sure NOT to miss my workout. It's kind of a therapy for me.0

Missing a single workout will not do much harm. Just be sure to not let it turn into multiple days of skipping workouts. Get back on that horse and it's no problem!
Plus, if you are completely winded and need a second, what's wrong with pausing a workout?

Depends on what kind of bad. Falling on my *kitten* and not being able to walk properly for the rest of the day... Yeah, not running or biking that day.
If it's stress or people being mean, I actually try to run harder (yeah, I'm a cardio junkie). It lowers my stress and makes me focus on what is actually important. It's my therapy. I had a friand who, when she found out her parents were divorcing, went for a run until she tasted blood in her mouth, then ran some more (she was like 13 or something then and really fit). At the same age, I would swim until I couldn't see straight anymore and relish the feeling of getting tired.
It's all in you mindset. I see exercise as something I really want to do. Not for the sake of weightloss but because it makes me a happy shiny person (relatively). Get on your exercise gear, go for a walk and see if that doesn't make you feel less stressed. Nothing makes me feel less stressed than a good run or swim or bike. I can go out the door crying and come back dancing 30min later.0 -
I don't see anything wrong in pausing and taking a 5-10 second break. I'm doing JM RI30 right now. I'm on week 2. For the cardio portion for the first circuit, you have to hold yourself in plank position for two minutes while doing various things My arms won't hold me up that long!!!
I have had times where I was discouraged and didn't want to do anything, so I didn't do my workout. I made sure that I did do it the next day though. This week I am forcing myself to make sure I am up on time to get my morning walk in, as it's the ONLY time I have to workout this week. (I have special meetings I am attending this week, and I don't get home early enough in the evening to do my workout. I'm looking forward to Saturday when the meetings are over and I can get my workout in again!)0 -
The choice is yours.
I am not sure what you are seeking...
Validation???
Permission???
Why do you even care what strangers think?
As far as someone calling you a troll...well...not sure why they would...lack of anything better to say I suppose.
Again...this is your journey...if you don't want to work out one day...your choice...your reasons for not doing so.
However...to answer your question...sure it is okay not to work out if something negative happens...or even if something positive happens. Working out...when...how...or if you do at all...is a personal choice.0 -

You got called a troll in your recent post because you were pausing every thirty seconds; the purpose of your thread was to complain that you didn't have time to do a 30-min workout DVD in the six hours before you had to go to work.
In answer to your question here; yes, it's okay to skip a workout if you're feeling bad. If it's going to make you feel guilty, though, you might consider going for a walk instead - this might also help you to deal with your feelings of stress.0 -

Get a punching bag. Tape a picture of a troll to it. I promise you'll never miss another workout.0

Everyone reacts in different ways so what is right or wrong?
If your goal is weight loss then you don't need to workout unless you need to the extra calories to make it possible to sustain your calorie deficit
If its for fitness then missing the occasional workout also wont harm you but I do find the more you miss, the harder it is to start up again.
You need to work out a routine that fits into your day0 -

Some people pause things but that doesn't make them a troll. My mother pauses workout DVDs too but she's not at all a troll. Just to be clear - I am not at all complaining that my coworker groped me - all I'm saying is a negative thing happened and that's what it is just for reference - therefore at first I didn't plan to do any exercise today but I decided to do Insanity core cardio and balance and I now have 22:17 left and 1.5 hours to do it. I believe I can do it!
I'm confused. If you aren't complaining about your co-worker groping you.....then why is it a negative thing and why are you hiding from him?
:huh:0 -
When I have something negative happen, I want to workout even more.
I love me a good rage/stress workout.0 -

Agreed. I find working out can relieve stress, and I try to push myself that much harder because I'm angry, upset, whatever. Although my standby emotion is always anger, and I find that easy to convert to extra energy at the gym.If something bad happens to me and I'm stressed, I make sure NOT to miss my workout.

If this really happened, you should be contacting your HR department, or the police. Not worried about fitness.0

This is what I was thinking. Also, exercise is a great way to burn off anger and stress. Most importantly, if you were at work and received an unwanted touch, report it, or it may happen again.0 -

Contacting them doesn't create the drama that posting it on a fitness forum does.
that would be correct \m/0 -

This.
Putting on my headphones and walking to kingdom-come is my "healthy coping mechanism" that I use frequently when I feel anxious or stressed or upset. Therapy indeed.0 -

Yesterday you claimed you didn't have time to workout although you obviously had plenty of time to repeatedly post. Today you claim you had a negative event that you're not going into details about then go into detail about it. Your relationship with truth telling is as poor as your time management. At least you make dramatic troll threads ... so far that is the closest I can come to making a positive assessment of you.
Yes - yesterday I didn't have time to work out GIVEN the fact that I pause videos - because of that time frame - I didn't have as much time to work out. Yes - you're absolutely right. I did have a negative event. I said I wouldn't go into detail simply because I wasn't sure if people would be nice or accuse me - but it seemed at first that people were nice. I feel sorry for you because it seems that you don't have much love in your heart if you go on the internet and tell people that they are lying after what happened to me, happened to me. Again, this thread's focus is not about what happened to me - I'm trying not to think about it - I've actually shifted my location to get away from that person and that memory for a few days. However you brought it up, so...
No .. you brought it up. Nobody but you would know what the "event" was if you didn't mention it in the first place. Once again the truth eludes you. I have plenty of love in my heart. What I don't have is any tolerance for lying internet drama queens.
No - you brought it up. I didn't want to focus on this - my main focus is a negative event happened and I said what it was thinking people would be nice - in order that people could understand what type of negative event I was talking about. I'm very sorry to hear that you don't have love in your heart that you would go out of your way to tell someone on the internet who has done nothing to you, that they are a liar after what has happened to you. I wish with all my heart that you will learn to love and have compassion.
DeltaZero - it did happen and I'm not going to contact the police because this guy knows where I live.
Spes - it's an ex coworker...I'm actually a temp so it was my first and last day there....
Why does a coworker know where you live after one day of work?0 -

Because she shares absolutely everything about her life with everyone.0 -

I think the kind of help you need isn't going to be fulfilled by exercise or posting on a message board. Please contact a doctor or therapist and get help.0 -

1.) I'm sorry that you have poor reading comprehension skills since you appear , or simply choose, to not understand whAT exactly it is this person was trying to say to you.
2.) If the person knows where you live and this in fact DID happen then you very much SHOULD call the police. That won't cause drama, it will prevent it from happening. You can even get a restraining order that prevents them from coming within certain distance of you. Also, you shouldn't just COMPLY to their actions unless they are threatening bodily harm, in which case I still fight.
What you need to do is get a group of friends on here and then post to them instead of a bunch of strangers. You will probably have less finger pointing and name calling at that point and then everything that everyone tells you will be sunshine and rainbows. Maybe then you can stop using the forums as your own personal blogosphere.
Good luck with all your problems. WIsh ya the best!
