I wrote this last week when I had my period, and it's been sitting in the Draft folder ever since then. Since it's an important aspect of my fitness journey, this post will get done, a week post period.
The day this happened, I had a meeting with the subtiing team. What was an already a long and tiring day was made worst by this constant ache on the right side of my head, near the temple. A rhythmic light pressure that got more irritating when one was stuck in rush hour traffic at 6.30 pm, hoping against hope to make it back home in time for an 8 pm gym session.
I had half a mind to cancel the session but I've already cancelled once the week before. I don't want to be flaky or appear to be unable to commit, especially since my training partner, who is pushing 50 by the way, will be there to witness it. I mean, c'mon! She trains 6 days a week with our trainer, on top of the cardio she does EVERYDAY after work, plus she eats grilled chicken breast and veggies only for lunch. She's lost 20 kgs already in the past year so I guess her motivation level is high high high but still, I CANNOT lose face to this woman! #healthycompetition
I got home at exactly 8 pm, quickly changed into my gym clothes and made it to the gym 20 minutes later. The lethargy and headache went away so quickly I wanted to keep going even after we were done with training, what an amazing feeling it was. I want to always remember this, particularly on lousy, uninspiring days when the energy is low and the laziness takes over.
