Day 14 - not giving 100% and some whining
So I finished my workout for day 14, but I definitely didn't give it my all. I'd like to blame my cold and sure it is partially that and my being tired, but really if I want to see change I have to shape up. I sweat a little, but not as much as I could. I definitely have to work on some of my form. I think that I was also really distracted. I have so much to do over the next few days that it won't even feel like I have days off. I really have to learn how to say no to people so that I can get a break, but then again most of the time I just sit on my butt and do nothing so I guess it is nice to get out there. What can I say, I'm Canadian and we like to complain? Yeah, that's right, I said it:) And it is true. What I mean to say is that not too long ago I was complaining about how I don't really have a life anymore and that my job is destroying my social life. Now that I have plans all the time, I am complaining that I don't have enough time to myself. That old saying about being careful what you wish for is true. It is not to say that I don't want to go to functions etc, but I would like one day to myself to do whatever I want. Having no plans can be a lot of fun, so long as you are able to make plans with others when you want. I need to stop complaining and start living --- and putting more effort into my workouts.

A lesson I'm learning at the moment ... balance in all things. Sounds simple, but hard to do not only on an activity level but also a mental level.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay to have off days, just don't turn them into off weeks and months! Be gentle with yourself....
Such a good point Catherine! Thanks! I have to learn how to make sure they only last the one or two days though. I find that I make a lot of excuses and before I know it it is a whole week and then two and then a whole month "off". I guess I need to work on the mental aspect of it. I find I'm okay once I get into a routine. Once I'm on that routine, which normally takes me a while, I am fine if I go off for a day or two, but I can't go more than that or I won't go back.
