Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED (Page 34)

Yes! If it's on my calendar i must do it!! If i'm too sick or am out of town and can't get it done i am not happy one bit. Last week I missed 2 bike workouts b/c i'm trying to clear up an issue before it gets worse and makes me miss more stuff, so I know missing the workouts was the right thing to do, but I still hated it. 

Most of the time, yes, unless it is a missed workout because of something truly urgent/unexpected/unavoidable.  But I have to remind myself that, although a bit cliche, "Life happens".  We get sick.  Bad weather keeps us indoors (running) with no access to a treadmill (ice storm last week in my area).  Some things simply take higher priority than workouts.

A coach once told me, "We can only control today.  Let go of what may not have gotten done yesterday/last week/etc.  Focus on today. Onward."  Tough to execute, but worth trying to take to heart.

I am so different from all of you. I am such a slug/sloth/manatee (the real kind, not the DOO EET kind) that I have to force myself to work out. I will work in the yard or garden all day long, training has foreign to me for most of my life, so I can skip a planned workout with very little guilt. I am working on getting better, though. The challenges help.

Oh man, it's been a long time since i was threatened! Worse was when i was chased from the courthouse! Or maybe when person i sent to jail got out and then saw me in a parking lot and threatened to run me over. Ha! I almost miss those days  

Glad you are ok and bad guy is where he belongs.

X2!

Yes, we are here for you.  Hang in there.

I have a bunch of work piled up, so no replies to a few different posts her, however, I will be doing the final tally of the Jogo Challenge and consulting with my fellow judge to pick the prize winning Manatee. It should all be in today so I can finish it up on Thursday. There may be high level math and algorithms at work here, so make sure you post it all in there 

Thanks all!

So basically you are waiting for the bribes to come in?

So frustrating! And here you are, trying to stay healthy! Ugh!

Ugh, well that stinks!  Fingers crossed your feeling up to par quickly.  The perils of trying to make healthy decisions!

I missed so many workouts or just did water-downed workouts when I was sick and now we have conferences the next two nights so I'm going to miss more. Missing my swim sets is starting to stress me out. Does this happen to anyone else?

Robin and I are sloth twins, apparently I have no issues skipping workouts, which is probably why I never really see improvement.

Since life has become ever more occupied with two kids and all i have become more relaxed about it. I just try to think about which workouts are really key and must be done (it can't be all of them) and then about remembering to enjoy it. This is a hobby after all. I have enough stresses that my workout and training is supposed to be enjoyable and if is just as stressful then why am i doing it? What am i after? I am certainly not getting paid for it! 

I am working on skipping just because i am tired and it's late (after 8pm which is my most available time) - that's a tough one so far. Sometimes i really am exhausted and get extra sleep but then other nights i sit my butt on the couch and do nothing. Not really My little guy is sleeping better so i feel like i may need to try to start getting morning workouts in.
