I'd really Like to Know...

how do you decide if what you are sensing is a genuine need for rest (mental and physical), or merely an attempt on your own part to cop-out of a  workout.

Reasons to rest:
  1. I am emotionally "spent" today.
  2. I've been crying, and now my head hurts.
  3. We had a party last night, and I worked ALL day yesterday cleaning and cooking.
  4. I worked out everyday this week...hard!

Reasons to workout:
  1. I'm fat.
  2. I have not done as much jogging this week as I had planned, and feel like I'm off track for my C25K plan.
  3. I'm fat.
  4. I usually am glad when I push through and do it.
  5. Have I mentioned that I'm fat?
I think the emotions are winning.
I don't even have it in me to tell you to
Eat Your Veggies.

  1. Oh Michelle you are funny. You don't have to everyday if you don't feel like it. :-)

  2. It will feel better if you work out after you've cried and are emotionally spent. You don't need to work out *hard* just do it! :) I think that every time I make an excuse that doesn't include actual sickies I am probably being lazy. Which means a lot of days lately...
