Blog Eight - Walls or Safety

One of the things I found myself considering today is at what point am I punking myself? I have been getting pretty regular with my exercise (woohoo!) but today I found myself not into the rhythm of it. Was forcing myself on the cycle and at that was not performing at the level I have been. Then when I got to my second phase of exercising I got through one complete set of dumbbells and then I simply quit at the next set. I got up and left the gym entirely. 

The thing that I feel is that my body said, too much - stop now or you'll regret it. But I worry that perhaps I gave up too easily. Thus when hitting the proverbial "wall" is this preventing harm to myself or preventing me from becoming a better person. After all, my body has had two decades without real exercise (I mean dedicated regimen) so do I trust it to make these decisions or should I continue onward via pure will & determination?

Today, I trust it.

Tomorrow?
