Off Days

Have you ever had an off day, a day where you couldn't get it done?  I just did and it sucked.  I barely got through half my cardio and a quarter of my workout; just plain pooped out.

I could blame it on several factors; lack of good sleep from a new position in my work life, a busy morning with my son's baseball activities, or a new supplement routine using Force Factor's latest stuff: Factor2.  Blame is not the issue I need to focus on right now; continuing on is important.  I can't let this one bad day or a bad week affect my future.  I have to continue on.

I spoke in an earlier blog of the need to have a goal that is outside of yourself for motivation.  This is the time when that external motivation is so important.  Off days can discourage you from continuing on, but the external reasons will help you get past the down time. 

I find it helpful to not let up on my routine, but to get right back into it.  So for now, Sunday is a new day and I will get back into it with the same workout I started today and finish it.  Why?  Because my wife needs a healthy husband to grow old with and my four boys need a active father to guide them through life.
