Workout
So proud
As the work day came to an end yesterday I was becoming more and more tired, I blamed it on the bad sleep I had the night before. So I started to figure out how I could skip the gym... "Workout one more time on the weekend? Squeeze it in tomorrow? Or just skip it all together, I'd still be on track for making 20 workouts this month...ya.. no... when am I going to practice pull-ups? Oh who cares I'm not gonna be able to do a pull-up anyways..." By 4 o'clock I made up my mind that I was going straight home to sit on the couch.
Luckily, I have to drive by my gym every day on the way to and from work. As I was approaching it I started thinking again "Well, I could just do a few minutes on the treadmill and then some weights or maybe just weights. OK I'll to the gym."
It must have been the act of leaving my work and having a few breaths of fresh air on the way to the car or the guilt. Either way, I got to the gym and found the energy to do my full workout - I even ran a little more than usual. I feel myself getting stronger, though I still doubt I'll be able to do a full unassisted pull-up in 21 days but it is cool to feel some progress.
I am proud of myself for making myself workout lastnight.

Isn't it funny the bargains we make with ourselves? How many times have I been through the "I'm not going. Well, I'll go and just do a little" routine?
We will do that pull-up!
