Being Lazy Gets You No Where

Last week and this week I have definitely been in a slump. I have been skipping workouts like it's my job and eating like a fat pig. I hadn't ran since Saturday, and I guess I thought since I only ran once last week and Saturday worked out that I would be ok this week too. WRONG!! First off that is a bad attitude to have I shouldn't be trying to put in the minimal effort because that isn't going to get me where I want to be and it's asking for an injury. Secondly MY WORKOUT SUCKED. I only ran for a mile and it felt all weird and not right and it just plain sucked. I really wanted to just quit and go home and I almost did, but I decided that if I wasn't going to run then I was going to crank the incline up and walk my way to 30 minutes, and that's exactly what I did. At the end of 30 minutes I had gone just over 2 miles, the treadmill said I burned 280 calories, and I had worked up a pretty good sweat. That made me feel a little better, but I was still so mad at myself that I had wimped out of working out 2 days in a row and now here I am not able to do the workout I should be doing. To say the least it was a HUGE let down.

I decided since I sucked it up in my cardio I would do a Nike Training Club workout. I also have been being a huge quitter lameo who has skipped out on those since what two weeks ago? Yep I have been a total slacker and I am mad at myself for it. As soon as I got the workout started I immediately thought I really like this, why have I not been doing this? Working out is such a mental game. You truly are your own worst enemy. Not only is it a mental game to get to the gym, but to get through the workout. Part of my crappy run today was probably in my head. I didn't want to be there, I don't like running on the treadmill, it was hot, there was another person in there and I like working out by myself, blah blah blah.... Basically I made up enough excuses for myself till I quit. The only good that game out of it is that I made myself mad enough at myself that tomorrow I'm not going to let myself quit, I'm not going to make excuses, and I'm going to quit skipping workouts. END.OF.STORY.

I'm also going to stop eating like a fat pig. It's amazing how quickly your bad days affect your body. It took me weeks to get to where I was, and now I honestly feel like I'm almost back to where I started body wise. All the junk I ate simply is NOT WORTH IT! I want a body I can be proud of and in order to have that I need to treat it right, and not let my mind win the battles. Tomorrow is another day, and tomorrow is going to be the first day of getting out of this slump.
