A Complete Failure of Will

Sunday, February 24, 2013

I'll get to the fail further down the page.

I'm exhausted.  I had hopes of going to bed early last night, but it did not work out that way.  Stayed up very late chatting for at least the third time this week.  I really, really, really need to crash early and hit the reset button before the new week gets underway.

Breakfast:  Everything omelet, redskin potatoes, sourdough toast,coffee

Lunch:  Double cheeseburger, fries

Snack:  Chips and salsa, onion dip

Dinner:  Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing & green beans

Exercise:  Here's the fail.  I tried to do C25K Week 8, Day 2, which is 28 minutes of jogging.  After about a half mile I just quit.  Could not make myself continue.  So many excuses - road conditions weren't good, I got out really late, I hate "jogging" in daylight where there are people out and about, way too much traffic, etc, etc.  The bottom line is that I had a complete failure of will.

I did complete the loop walking (minor route variation trying to reduce the car dodging), pedometer said 3.25 miles in an hour.  The walking part felt good and I even considered continuing on but I was already pushing it if I wanted to go out to breakfast.

If I can get rested I'll try again tomorrow in hopes of getting back on a MWF schedule.  The key is going to be whether I can motivate myself out the door early enough.

In case it isn't obvious, I'm really, really disappointed in myself right now.  This is supposed to be the end stage of C25K and I should be getting ready to do a full circuit.  Instead, I quit.
