Bad workout day.... Need some support.

Well, I don't have balls so I don't know just how excruciating the pain was, but I have a pretty good imagination--and you tried to keep going. You get beast points for that. So even if you didn't finish the workout (because you're smart and didn't want to puke in the gym), be proud.

Just don't do that to yourself again!

Lol! Let's see....encouragement... not really my strong suit, but how about this.... You are 37 and let's say you keep working out until you are 80.... that's about 2,236 weeks of working out and even if you only work out three times a week, that's 6,708 workouts left for you to do.... don't sweat one bad one...

Testicle injuries are like other injuries, but worse. I don't see any shame in taking a break after that.

Sorry to hear about your junk. I think you should get started up again and continue on like you killed your workout yesterday and let it be. And whatever you were doing when you um, shall we say...injured yourself, for goodness sake don't do that again!

Hahahaha hilarious! Just go back to the gym today and forget about it! You can tell your grandchildren this story some day

I knew a guy who pinched himself between two 45lb dumbbells doing lateral raises. She seems to be okay now.

She?

Many years ago I fainted at my gym.

I always worry about that happening to me. There have been times I would get extremely faint. The last time it happened it seemed like I was going blind and wanted to throw up.

Nuts before cardio bro..

Not much to say unfortunately, bad workouts happen. Keep your goals in-mind and just keep doing stuff that gets you to your goals. You'll have bad days, average days, and days when you might set a new personal record for time or distance. Take the good with the bad and keep at it.

You went and did your best. Nothing more to be done!
Glad your feeling better

I hate to whine or complain but I need some support.

you seem to feel better already, but i'll just chime in anyway. i've been bike commuting for i dunno, maybe 10 years, off and on . . . and started lifting maybe 5 months ago from a completely flat start. and honestly, really, the real inner me is a couch potato who just wants to read books all the time. the biking comes and goes depending on logistics and where i'm working, so i've had several cycles of starting the whole thing all over again.

what i've found out over the course of those years is that some days just suck, and that's all that it is. there can be all kinds of reasons for it, and not all of them are within my control. there's such hopes that you can get of this whole workout thing. but i found out that disappointment is just another part of the turf on some days, along with things like wind and rain and flat tires and body parts that don't wanna . . . it's not all beer and skittles and feeling like you could bench-press a bear.

and for myself, i found that it's much easier for me to deal with those days if i do classify 'disappointment' with those same physical things. then it becomes just another thing for me to adjust to, incorporate and keep on going . . . i found that this way i don't let it define me or my whole 'workout' experience, and that helps. and over the long haul, my impression is that out of every 5 days of doing physical stuff, one day will suck, three days will be fine, and one will be awesome past all my craziest hopes.

it evens out, and then it gets to be part of your life like your family are. but only if you keep doing it. and don't forget: it takes balls to go do it at all ;-)
