Tired but I went to the gym anyway
 

Last week, my gym was closed for renovations.... I did pretty well walking instead, but it kind of threw me off my rhythm. Then I had a few conflicts and couldn't go-- on my work days (two days a week) I can't squeeze it in because I work an eighteen hour day.

Tonight, I was really tired after working back to back shifts over the weekend, then this morning I had a migraine, which often happens to me after work.

I felt so tired I could barely move, but then it hit me-- it had been a whole week since I had exercised at all. Decided to go swim laps...got to the gym at 9 pm and got home around 10:15 feeling totally refreshed.

I STILL forget how going to gym always make me feel LESS tired.

Oh good for you! :carrot:

It's funny how that works, isn't it?

I've been in an excercise slump too--though I did go for a walk with the hubby after supper. It felt good--and not just the walk--I like myself better when I'm doing what I ought. :D

:woohoo:

:yay: You rock.

Success!! You know you're committed when you go to the gym even when you are tired after work. WELL DONE!!

Good job! Swimming really gives you that good feeling!

that's a victory above all others - dragging your a$$ somewhere you don't want to be exactly, just to help yourself in the long run -- kudos!!!!

it's so funny how that works, the exercise thing I mean. If I miss walking, my back & hips start to act up a bit - but walk every day, no problems! who'da thunk???

:bravo:

I have been feeling the same way. I was going 4x a week for 2 hours....this week I am swamped with finals. So now I am down to 2x a week for 1 1/2 hours. I need to step it back up! I have been getting frustrated because the weight is coming off so slow :mad:

Awesome job!!!

That's awesome! You go, girl! :carrot:

I am always so glad when I go to the gym, especially when I didn't feel like it in the first place. When I don't, I never think, "Gee, I'm glad I didn't go today."

Great Commitment
 

You definitely put the uber in ubergirl. :cp:

Awesomeee! Same here with the energy after the gym problem, I really need to start waking up earlier and going before class!

Thanks so much, everybody!!! Wish I could go today-- just got home from work at midnight. Ugh.

But tomorrow I'm back in the saddle.
