don't have it in me tonight

Tomorrow is my weigh in day but I am simply too worn out and sore to go to the gym tonight. I feel badly skipping but I am very tired and my back is killing me. Plus I still have the endless hunger, which isn't really a gym deterrent but it is one more annoying body thing to contend with. I actually am thinking all this body nonsense is really brutal PMS but I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I did make a list of the reasons for and against going to the gym tonight:

REASONS TO GO

  1. burn calories
  2. earn more activity points
  3. add more to my monthly goal of 700 minutes at the gym this month (currently at 475 minutes)
  4. increase odds of having a good weigh in tomorrow
  5. get tuckered out so maybe I'll sleep better
  6. I'm going away this weekend so I won't be able to go to the gym friday or saturday (and probably will be too hung over sunday when I get back). 
REASONS TO SKIP
  1. I'm exhausted and really don't feel like it
  2. my bad foot is already sore and the work out is probably only going to keep it flared up for longer
  3. I've gone 6 out of the past 8 days to the gym, earning 32 activity points, so missing today isn't exactly the end of the world
  4. I failed my "Put your gym clothes on, get ready to go, and have your hand on the door knob" test. I have always said if I can get that far and STILL not be willing to go then I clearly reeeeeally don't want to go. (This is probably the second time that test has failed.)
  5. My goal of 700 minutes of gym time is going to be surpassed easily because I am already way over half way and that is after being sick for the first week or so of the month. SO no worries there. 
  6. I will definitely be going tomorrow (I weigh in at the gym so thursday is a guaranteed day)
  7. Yes, I will be away for the weekend and while I won't be able to go to the gym I will be doing other types of activity.

The reasons to skip were enough. I may have a slightly less good weigh in tomorrow but a girl has to cut herself some slack from time to time.

Hunger: fairly significant, even though I just ate
Body Image: okay
General disposition: bit grumpy, mostly just tired though
