I hate working out.

I hate how it feels, and I hate how I feel.

I hate sweating and stinking and counting the reps and watching the set timer count down.

I hate knowing how much more there is to go, in the current workout and in my overall goals.

But in the words that I'm sure came from somewhere: "fuck it, we ball"

Pushups (knee) 10rep, 3set [fail]

Mountain Climbs 20rep, 3set [fail]

Bicycle Kicks 20rep, 3set [med]

Plank 30sec, 3set [hard]

Squat 20rep, 3set [med]

• 20min row

Donno if this will inspire anybody else, but maybe it'll inspire me to keep it up.

@mvu do keep it up! I was in a similar place in Nov and the only thing that makes me force myself to do some workout is the memory of the pain and frustration it is to re-start the process. I absolutely hate working out but e.g. yesterday I was about to say "f.. this,I had a hard day already" but then I did at least some reps,because it's still easier in the long run than giving up, and every day I give up adds to the temptation to make the 'break' longer.

@okr the long break thing is too real. "I'll skip today" easily becomes 2, then a week, then a month... Then the restart.

Props for managing to squeeze in reps after a long day. The "fuck it today was hard enough" argument is often too persuasive for me (but working on it)
