I have two primary rules when it comes to working out:

1. Never skip more than one day in a row, and

2. Finish any workout that I start (barring injury)

I’ve broken rule #1 exactly twice since re-committing myself to working out (roughly three months ago). Both instances happened when I was traveling, and I didn’t really have a choice in the matter. Over the next ten days, I will likely break this rule again (except for the pushups), as we will be taking a 10 day family vacation, and I’ll probably cut myself a bit of slack.

As for rule #2, I haven’t broken it at all since getting back into the swing of things, though I’ve been sorely tempted. For example, this morning… I decided to squeeze in a 30 minute row before I left for work. After setting the monitor and getting started, I quickly realized that I was lacking a bit in the motivation department. But since I had set the workout monitor for 30 minutes, I was committed.

In the end, my performance was actually pretty solid, though I felt like puking at the end. That being said, I’m now looking forward to my next session, as I often pull off a fairly strong workout after I struggle through a rough one.
