Mind over malaise

So, after 'resting' the last couple of days to allow my leg a little time to heal, I was very much looking forward to attacking the treadmill today at the gym. My kit was packed in my bag and I'd even parked up next to the sports complex this morning to ensure that I would go. However, as the morning wore on, apathy and indifference began to enter my thoughts. Did I really want to do this today? Why not just pick things up again on Monday?

As I walked to my car I was still undecided. It was very much a question of take it or leave it. And I left it. Rather than go to the gym I headed to a well known supermarket chain to get a father's day card. I then drove back, parked in the exact same spot, and utterly disgusted at myself I took my gym bag out of the boot and did some training after all.

Dieting can be an easy thing when you're motivated. Making sure you stick to it on those days when you really can't be bothered are the ones that can decide how successful you will be. Today was a small moral victory, mind over malaise. Here's hoping that I won't have to fight with myself too often
