A Fast One But A Good One

Just finished rushing through my workout. I’m a sweaty mess.

The gym shut at 7pm and I walked through the doors and saw the clock at 6:10pm.

That gave me 50mins to do what I usually do in 75mins.

I made the 60sec rest periods 30sec.

I removed all the rest periods for the single arm exercises (it was shoulder day) and performed them back to back.

I didn’t get any personal bests...

I didn’t necessarily feel the mind-muscle connection every exercise as I usually do...

I probably didn’t even get the tempo correct because I was rushing...

But I made a decision to continue my momentum towards my goals of becoming stronger and making exercise a daily habit.

Instead of rolling my eyes at the clock and walking back home I did what I could with what I had.

Instead of missing a gym session, I smashed a gym session.

Instead of losing momentum, I gained momentum.

Instead of feeling defeated, I felt victorious.

Just like a concert on a rainy day, the show had to go on!

But what got me through today’s session was having a goal I’m committed to.

If there's no goal, there's no purpose.

So when you're short on time, you’ll decide to move forward instead of make excuses.
