WGOM Fitness: 24 October 2012, Denying Oneself
After work yesterday, I was extremely tired. I felt pretty tired all week actually. I was also struggling with discomfort from my present condition and I was just thinking, you know, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I missed a workout today.
