Ok, so I've done REALLY well eating today AND I burned 1800 calories playing tennis yesterday AND we had no ac for the first day of school. So, should I do my 35 minutes cardio workout?

I'm tired and would really just like to relax tonight. I'm also down a pound from last week :-)

    IMO.. yes, workout.

    If you make justifications or excuses not to this time it will only make it easier the next time and the next time. Keep in your routine, you will be glad you did when it is done :) Then relax and enjoy... its only 35 minutes, right?

    Sounds like you are trying to talk yourself out of it. The way I see it, is when I feel like that and still go, I feel GREAT...if I feel like that and bag it, I feel bad and argue with myself...go , not go, go, not go. Look at it this way, if you go, you stay ahead of the game for when you need to pass for a 911 emergency....

    Maybe just go for a walk? It's not so strenuous but it still burns calories.

    Usually when I'm asking it means I need someone to kick me in the butt and tell me to go work out, so....

    *butt kick* GO WORKOUT! :wink:

    Unless you're sick or otherwise physically incapable of exercising, do it. I've been in the same boat before, and I made the mistake of "taking a break" because I was too tired, too busy, etc. Eventually I was taking a break 7 days a week. I know it's tough sometimes, especially when you're really tired, but you should try your best to put that aside. I can almost guarantee you that by the time you're done with that workout, you'll feel more energized and awake than you did before hand. This is always the case for me. =]

    Don't give in! Just keep up the hard work!! :flowerforyou:

    Thanks ladies! I'm lacing up my tennis shoes now to take my wonderful dog for an hour walk and then maybe I'll do a little strength training when I get back!
