Excuse or Excess?

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

My former boss says to me all the time I over-think things. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Don't we all wear those Rose colored glasses at times? So isn't questioning why we do things a good thing? LOL Again, I think the point is OVER thinking it.
This weekend I get sick. I can hardly breathe. I spend all day sleeping, except when I get up to eat. Last night I felt my head clearing up and decided I was going to go to gym today. I get up and it's all moved to my chest. I'm coughing up all kinds of crap. So I start by getting on the treadmill here at home. I normally walk at a 4.0-4.2, could hardly keep a 3.5 pace. Ended up getting off and using an inhaler so I could get in 25 minutes. I'm sweaty, but is that fever or from working out? Do I go to the gym? Am I pushing myself too hard because I've been slacking this week? If I don't go because I'm sick, is that just another excuse to not do what I should be doing right now? OR, is it because I'm so competitive with myself, and push to excess? I've walked over 10 miles in a night on the treadmill to not lose a challenge. I said I was going to go to the gym today, so is it just the drive to get it done now, regardless of how I feel?
Regardless, I've wasted time writing this, but after looking over my total slacker fitness minutes this week, I'm going to the gym!!

    Sometimes sweating it out works and sometimes TLC and sleep work...do what feels right for you and don't worry about excuses!

    Not saying I haven't done the same thing, BUT if you are coughing, sneezing and generally contagious I'm pretty sure that the other members at the gym would appreciate not getting it. LOL, one time I was told exactly that. emoticon

Get to feeling better!!!!

    Hope you are feeling better. Listen to your body, if it needs the rest it'll let you know!

Former bosses! emoticon . Mine used to tell me I took my job too seriously! I'm sorry wasn't that what they hired for me to do - my job?
