I was cold. and tired, and am on huge deadline, and really the only thing I could cut out of my day was my workout.
but... whenever I am feeling lazy I tell myself
YOU WILL NEVER REGRET DOING YOUR WORKOUT BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS REGRET SKIPPING IT
(which is something I heard on a podcast once)
so I went.... just as I was about to stuff my face with brownies.
and sure enough I had the greatest 2 hours ever.
I shaved off another 30 seconds off my 5km run, and inspired by this i kept on running for a whole other kilometer.
then i did a whole great session of intervals, upping all my weights and intensity.
I got home and am no longer hungry so I had half a can of coconut water for dinner.
best day!!!!

It was supposed to snow last night, but thankfully it didn't. I was able to take a hour walk today. It was good to get out and strech my legs. Just work out, you can relax after, with no guilt.0

Wow I love that "YOU WILL NEVER REGRET DOING YOUR WORKOUT BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS REGRET SKIPPING IT "
So so true. I will remember it for next time.
Last night I really didn't want to run - but I did, 8 ks, and felt AMAZING!
I always think "pain (as in the effort involved) is temporary and passes but giving up becomes part of you" I dont want giving up to be part of me - so we go through the pain0 -
Thanks, the excuses were just starting: i'm tired, its raining, its dark, blah, blah, blah. So it's settled, I'm running after work before class!0

This ironic that you post this. I was just posting in my personal "My Home" that I normally go to the gym at lunch and it's been one meeting after the next all the way until 2PM and the later it got the more tired and lazier I was feeling. :yawn: and i didnt want to go But I dragged myself up and ran out of the house and went to the gym and I am so happy I did! I feel so much better. I so happy that I completed it!!! :happy:0

I really needed to hear this. I had such a grueling day and thinking of going home and doing another workout is tough to think about. But you're right. It's that attitude that got me to this point. And I always feel fantastic after a great workout!0

haha
glad you all feel the same.
I am now more focused and actually feel mucho better than before.
Back to my deadline!0 -
It's way too easy to make excuses sometimes! I was on vacation last week and the first night on the cruise ship I decided to suck it up and go to the fitness center. I was bummed because it was closed already (it was 10:00 pm by that point) so rather than taking the easy way out and going back to my room, I started running the stairs and the hallways. I was proud of myself for not quitting, and of course I felt better afterwards!0

wow...I'm in the midst of a week off from training, but now I feel like I should do some light workouts before I start up again. Quite the motivating post!
