These were the three options that I went through today as when I would go to the gym. I know I have posted about flexibility before but I still believe it is essential. Too much flexibility can be extremely hazardous to discipline and mental strength but just enough helps prevent from an utter collapse such as a week long blow-out or a week with out exercise. Enough flexibility helps build a person up rather than inhibiting them by providing a scaffolding to catch them when they slip or fall. This was very clear when I arrived home from Oztag last night with a very sore shoulder. Now if I had gone the NO Flexibility road I might have tried to get up and drag myself to the gym but failed and gone back to sleep wrecking my day and destroying my self confidence. Instead I was considerate and decided I would give it more time to recover and get myself to work early so I could do an session after work. Having a long meeting disrupted that and instead of spiraling down I stood back, breathed and said "Ok, no dramas, I can just go at my favourite time anyway, the night shift" And now I feel great and because I feel n control I will go to the gym and have an excellent session.
Today was a very productive day. Achieved a lot at work, diet was perfect, I have not done the calculations but it is definately under 2000cals and my dinner was definately closer to 500-600cals much better than the large 1000cal serve on Monday. Exercise will be ok but this is no drama as I am nursing a injury so it doesn't intensify. All good in the Hood, Alpha and Out!
