So I'm halfway through week four of Insanity by Shaun T. I haven't been posting every day because some days it comes down to write this blog, or go work out. For any loyal readers, I'm sorry, but I will always choose exercise over writing about exercise.
So today I hit the point that I think a lot of us will hit. I'm going to be calling it the Midnight Circuit. So after a long day, I decided that I should eat (kinda important) and spend some time with my family (often more important). As I did this, time flew by us until it was midnight, and I still hadn't done my workout. No, I don't recommend this for anyone, but I think it's going to happen.
Why do I think this is going to happen? Because life gets in our way, it will push things onto us that we often can't anticipate, and as such, we are left to decide "do I go to bed because I really should," or "do I workout because I really should." For each person it is their own call and own choice, but for me, today, it was exercise.
I had to exercise. I've started a challenge group with great friends and I am running it. Oh, and yeah, it was the FIRST DAY! I'm not going to wiff it on the first day! No way! So I worked out. Now I'm here typing this at 1:30 in the morning because I can't get to sleep.
My point is this, you might hit the midnight circuit eventually. That's ok. Don't make it a habit, do better, and try to stick to your plans. I'm happy that I did it. I pushed through it and I'm glad I did. I'm proud of myself and I feel great. I'm likely going to lapse into a coma like slumber when my body does finally relax, but until then, I can ride my endorphins.
It's not the sharpest thing to do, but every day is a knew grinding wheel and we have to decide if we'll take the pain one more time to be at our sharpest.
