Week 3 Day 3

[ewt]

I found this morning hard work. I'm a bit sleep-deprived, a bit stressed, a bit achey. All of these are reasons I definitely needed to exercise, and all reasons that I wanted to get on with doing other things instead.

So, go me for turning up anyway. It's interesting how much differently I perceive the activity itself when the machine is the same and the programme is the same but I am not feeling great. It makes sense that everything is a bit less comfortable, feels a bit harder, but I had to talk myself into keeping going today in a way I haven't really had to before -- not because I was in significant pain or struggling to breathe fast enough or anything like that (I wasn't), but just because I didn't feel like it.

Here's hoping next week is more usual.

Definitely definitely go you. Dragging yourself to the gym when you didn't feel like it, and even better, keeping going when you didn't feel like it, that's really impressive. I think it gets a little bit easier after you've done that a few times, you start to kind of train yourself that feeling meh isn't a valid excuse.
