I think you are amazing and consider you to be an excellent source of encouragement. NO PRESSURE, but it’s not just about inspiring yourself anymore.

I never meant to be aggressive, or suggest that you should work out more, or harder, or to say that you were overtrained (or not), or to make any comment about fitness plan. It was all about the couch.

Because everyone fitness plan is different, and that OK, but those days when you don’t do what you told yourself you were going to do, but then you actually do it, that’s the hardest battle to win. Wait, I’m not making any sense.

That day, you were supposed to workout, but you stayed at the couch, watching the clock and time go by. I hate when that happens! And when it happens to me, I don’t have the balls to get up and workout later like you did. I even grab the icecream, or the cookies, or whatever junk food I shouldn’t be eating because heck, I already messed up, so I might as well mess up big time.

Then, I came up with excuses to validate my own laziness, like the overtraining excuse, it’s OK to have an extra rest day, and it might as well be a cheat day, and so on…

But you did not. You went for a run later. I can’t do that. To me, if I’m skipping a workout because I just didn’t feel like it, I can’t go back to the “fitness state of mind” later on that day. I just can’t. I completly shut off and just hope for the best (to stay away from those darn cookies!).

And that was my comment was supposed to be about. A way to challenge that part of my brain that says to me “you already didn’t do it, so you might as well…”, inspired by the fact that you faced that same little voice and overcome it. Maybe we aren’t as tired as we tell ourselves we are in those moments, you know what I mean?
