You made it to the gym, and that's what counts because overall you are dedicated to it and make the effort to keep up with going - every little helps and as you say pushing to hard when you are not up to it could take you out of it completely with injury. Loving that ElectroSwing beats video - it's awesome!

I love this real post about fitness life, instead of just all unrealistic motivational stuff. This is REAL. You will have days like this in the gym and that's ok.
I love what you said:
I wouldn't say life lesson learned here, just a reminder that leading a full and diverse life means trade-offs.
REAL. There's more to life. Thank you for highlighting this.
Also, I've never heard of electroswing, but I played the link and, you're right, it IS super-cool! So, do people swing dance to this?
Thanks, that's totally the point of my fitness blogging. I bought myself 5 training sessions when I first starting working out and I told my trainer on day one, I'm not here for SWOLE GAINZ or whatever. I just want to be stronger. He mentioned I should totally do Paleo and I was just like I'm going to go eat all the gluten when I get home just because you suggested that.
I'm serious about what I do and I have done tons of research on it. But I have a life and I want to enjoy everything that it offers. A lot of blogs give lip service to the fact that not every day in the gym is going to be perfect, but a lot of them seem to like to pretend they are machines and that you'll only get results if you put in the same level of intensity that they do.
Electroswing is beautiful in that you can do almost anything. I personally shuffle-step, but you can swing dance, grind, break dance, spaz about somewhat rhythmically, whatever your thing is you can do it!
This is so relatable. Everyone has these days! It’s so important to realize when self-care is what’s up and more important. :) I love that you’re able to capture a feeling we’ve all had. Thanks for sharing, and electroswing sounds rad.
Right, can't win every day, some days we just have to hold course and move on. There's always tomorrow to try again!
Electroswing is a lot of fun, I think i'm going to have to include the sounds of the weekend on my posts from now so you guys can discover all the amazing stuff the underground dance scene has to offer.

Thank @cygon As I have gotten older I totally identify with you here. For me LIfe is too short to try to get to 3% body fat and work out in the gym 6 days a week.
Why would I want to get so damn cut and strict and have to sacrifice wine, women, and song (and food as well ) lol
Anyway, when I was in college I really got into Powerlifting. Always loved the Deadlift. I did two Reps for 430 lbs. Bench was always weak like 2 Reps with 225. And Squat I never really maxed out but was doing 365 lbs for couple of Reps.
Thanks for this Post and really a nice blend of two different genres in that electro-swing music at end
really

Hey @cygon! You've a great attitude! Good for you for pushing through the obsticles of your morning/ weekend and for showing up for your workout like @c0ff33a mentions too! Some days your best is different than other days.
The electroswing is super groovy! Love it. Never heard of it before.
I am a member of the #asapers stopping by to support your efforts! Hope to see you around 😊
Such great points, I totally agree. "leading a full and diverse life means trade-offs" - I loved that. After a couple of good nights of sleep you'll be back on the horse, I know it! With a bunch of awesome memories from a badass weekend. Totally worth a less-than-ideal gym day from time to time! Keep up the great work!

As they say, showing up is half the battle. All we can do is just see if we can do better tomorrow! The important part is keeping the routine.
Glad you enjoyed the music! You ever need good dance music I got you.

So true @cygon. We only have so much energy and must figure out our priorities.
