Do you ever get that when you start your workout and you just wonder why the heck you put yourself through it all, why you do it? I had one of those moments this morning when I started with my warm up on the elliptical before my weight workout. Today is a busy day and I could think of a bunch of other things I could have used my morning for, but there I was at the gym, ready to spend nearly two hours of my time getting sweaty. Why??? What the heck am I trying to prove?
For about a minute I indulged myself with the thought that I could walk right out of there and go home and do something completely different, if I really wanted to. But I guess I didn't really want to because once I got going, I totally forgot about that feeling and just did what was on my schedule, weights followed by a HIIT run on the treadmill. The mind is a funny thing sometimes, isn't it?
Hope you have a great day - even if you don't feel like it at first!

I definitely feel that way sometimes, but I remind myself of how great I'll feel when I'm done and it helps. Good job not letting your mind get the better of you :)
I think this at almost every first 5 minutes of my long runs so you're not alone in this.
You're a great sports for not walking out but finish what you started.
Practically every time before the workout and sometimes first minutes of the workout. I never, ever regret a workout. Actually after every workout I am psyched to do more, am planning for the next one, can't wait for a new day. And then I wake up and wonder if there is a good excuse to postpone, delay, skip...
Good for you. I often feel that way but always feel better after I do it!
Often I have the same feeling but I learned not to listen that "voice" inside me that says: "don't worry you can do it later or tomorrow".
Starting my day after a run feels so much better than starting it without a run. I think of that when I wake up and know I better go run if I want to feel good starting my day.
