Sometimes I don’t want to train.
Totally hard to believe I know… NOT! As much as I’d like to believe otherwise and the way people
make me feel sometimes, I’m not Wonder Woman. I don’t make perfect nutrition and training every day, in
fact, I’d be lucky to have perfect nutrition and training two or three times a
week! It’s about consistency and
not blowing everything out of proportion.
Anyway, the training thing, yeah.
I used every excuse under the sun.
I’m tired, I didn’t sleep last night, I started work at 5am, I forgot my
gym towel, I forgot my hair tie, I should listen to my body and get to bed
early... I even asked a mate to give me an excuse not to go. I mean seriously?! Clearly I was
dreading it! Urgh! I have been a bit of an emotional mess
this week, just all over the place, busy and stressed. I’ve binged, and I’ve trained, I’ve
been a total bitch and I’ve been scared and vulnerable, old troubles and new
ones. Regardless, even though I
was in the foulest mood possible, I went to the gym with my hair down and no
towel. It was by no means a gut
buster of a session, in fact it was downright LAME by my personal
standards! But I went and did an
hour of light cardio and stretch – 445 calories burned. And guess what? I came out feeling a lot happier and
calmer and just generally really good about myself. Exercise definitely is the best stress reliever going
around! Moral of the story? The only workout you’ll regret is the
one that never happened!
