I know this sounds crazy...but I've definitely got an obsessive/addictive personality in the sense that when I get into something I REALLY get into. I'm starting to see results at the gym now in terms of my appearance, stamina, strength, etc. so I've been adding new activities. I started spinning about 3 weeks ago and I've added one day of sprints a week instead of steady state running.
The problem: I'm ideally supposed to take two rest days a week based on the program I'm following and I have to take at least one and I'm starting to realize I haven't been since I added all this new stuff. It's just becoming one of those "oh what the ****, I'll go spinning this afternoon" or "wow, I'm bored, I should go run 3 miles on the treadmill". I'm really enjoying all the exercise and I'm in exams now so I study all day, get stir crazy in my room and feel like doing something active. I feel like a slob if I don't work out even if it is supposed to be my rest day.
Does anyone else have this problem? How do I make myself ease up a little? Lol. I don't want to burn out and then get sick of working out to the point where I don't like it anymore...*sigh*
