I don’t know if this is a type-A personality thing or what, but I have a lot of guilt. I feel guilty about things, a lot of things, for no reason really. Usually its about blowing someone off, or not making plans with someone in the first place, not visiting my parents enough, not maintaining freindships as well as I should, etc, etc, etc. Its usually in reguards to relationships, but recently, its been due to my workouts.
I should know better, but sometimes you can’t help how you feel. Sometimes you can’t rationalize an emotion away.
I haven’t been to the gym in over a week, which is fine because I get a workout in most days. The reason I feel guilty is because I have plannedon going to the gym a few times the past week, but something has come up to prevent it each and everytime. So instead I go for a run, or walk to dog, or do conditioning at home, but I still feel guilty.
Its not like the gym gets its feelings hurt, or its waiting for me and misses spending time with its gym friends while I stand it up. Its got plenty of people to keep it company.
It doesnt cost me any money when I do not go. My membership is paid, and I even got 2 years free, so Im not missing out on anything there.
If anything, its good because I get all my commitments fulfilled while still fitting in my workout.
So whats my deal?
I think its because I planned on something and did not follow through. I like structure and when my schedule is thrown, it get anxious.
Anyone else get exercise guilt? Maybe from skipping workouts? Not doing what you planned on? Not being able to workout when you planned and had to push it back?
Ah, well. Im going to the gym today.
Hopefully.
