Guilt

[Smurfy]

Ever feel bad when you dont make it to the gym on a day you had originally planned on going>? How does something like this affect you? Do you start having negative thoughts about yourself (i.e. "lazy ass", "you're just fat", "slacker")? Do you immediately start thinking of ways you can double th next workout to "makeup" for the training you missed today>? Do you think of other ways you can punish yourself for skipping the workout? How long do you feel guilty, if at all?

i don't feel guilt.

i just go back to sleep and say 'yay! an extra hour!'

 

[pintoca]

all of the above apply to me.

not proud of it either. It normally happens during my "slacker" phases when I'm basically just going with the motion.

There comes a time every once in a while where I simply, out of the blue, gather all the resolution and say "enough of this bullshit" and then it's Ironwilled Pintoca in action.

When in that mood, I NEVER-EVER miss a workout on my own freewill.... if I have to, it's because of external factors and ohhhh, do I get pissed at the person causing the inconvenient (normally the wifey).

I don't miss workouts unless it's a planned layoff, lifting is the only hobby I got really

for a period of time I didnt miss a scheduled workout for 7 months.

Now I rarely miss them, if I did it was because of my gf.

String_bean doesnt have a gf, thats what his secret to success is.

missing one workout doesn't affect me much. when I take a week off or more it can mess with my head, mostly diet. I'm like "don't eat that you didn't even workout this week you'll get fat" or "I don't need this extra protein I haven't lifted all week." lifting regularly has put me in such a groove with my diet I don't know what or how to eat when I'm not. I usually end up losing weight on a short lay off because I end up restricting my calories so much. afraid I'm cursed for life.

Do you think of other ways you can punish yourself for skipping the workout?

Do you mean like, putting clothes pins on your nipples ?

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

I always feel better after a workout. I try to use that as motivation.

nope. I am otherwise occupied the rest of the day basically until my son goes to bed at 9-9:30

 

[Cutiebaby]

no not really

 

[biteme]

Today was my first day at the gym since my incident. I was just glad to make it out alive. There's still something wrong.

 

[wootoom]

all of the above

 

[cuthroat]

I can't remember the last time I missed a workout, there has been days when I didn't really feel like going but I always push myself and usually end up feeling better for it afterwards.
