How do you feel when you miss a workout?

[m@xpower]

So, if you guys miss a workout day, how do you feel?

When i miss a day, i start to feel week for some reason, and i constantly keep thinking about my day that i missed.

Naked and guilty! That's about it... lol

If i dont workout i get nauseous and my allergies goes up, my nose gets red...I GET SICK easily then

[HangOn]

im just like ok i need to work overtime for this next time, or I try to do extra cardio the next day... or im just like oh well a good long rest will set me up well.

Wow a good question lol. I feel weak as well, when I do workout I feel like I can win any fight I would get into, not that I do. When I miss a workout I feel so weak, I constantly lookat my muscles and I guess im paranoid because I think they got smaller.

I have only missed one scheduled workout and that was yesterday. I felt really guilty but I knew I needed a break or I'd be burned out. Even though I knew it was the right decision I still had a tough time shaking that guilty feeling. It's tough. I also think that I get nervous because missing one workout is the first step in missing many and I don't want to ahve that happen.
Though it's a new day today, so I'm feeling much better (especially since I plan on going to the gym this afternoon).

cranky, irritable, snappy, and just generally pissy and not fun to be around.

i don't feel guilty because if i miss a workout, it's unavoidable - but i still resent it deeply.

Not too terrible, but then again I almost never miss one. I work out 6 days a week, so the occasional miss is no big deal. I just make up for it on my scheduled off day, usually.

I feel worse about eating junk food than I so about missed WOs.

I'm pretty sure feeling awful for missing a days workout is a sign of overtraining.
Try getting another hobby, it's going to take a while to get used to missing the occasional workout but in a few weeks you'll be fine and will appreciate the workouts you do more.

DIE, FOUL MISCREANT!!!!


besides, what else is there to do beside working out and then talking about it here?

go chop wood, i guess... yay....

[gym_girl]

I don't feel guilty, I'm just not happy about it. It all balances out in the end, as long as there doesn't become a pattern of missing many workouts. If this happens I know it's really time to mix things up.

I work at a mentally stressing job and I find if I work out before going to work I'm in a better mental state and not so eager to rip someone's head off, at least not for a few hours anyway.

You losers.


Just stalk a local celebrity!

[threenorns]

i live in sturgeon falls.

the closest thing we have to a celebrity is the group High Holy Days, and we're just south of Field, where Shania Twain's aunt lives.

HHD are currently i-don't-know-where and stalking shania's aunt would be un-canadian.
