I Swear I'll Never Do It Again ...

[musclemom]

I confess, I have a really, really bad habit. I let life get in my way (usually work, sometimes personal commitments) and I slack off working out ... the longer I slack off, the harder it becomes to get back into it and the next thing I know two months (or more) have gone by and I realize Oh, Shit, I've SERIOUSLY got to get back to it, so I hit the weights again and am punished for my laziness with severe DOMS.

I always swear I will not do this, and yet again and again I repeat the same behavior. I must be a frigging masochist! My training log is rife with gaps. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?

I did deadlifts last night for the first time in over two months. Climbing stairs is tough, but descending stairs is flat out scary, my legs are locked up.

It is with shame that I do confess these transgressions, but also would love a little insight because I'm trying to figure out WHY do I keep doing this to myself?!

If nothing else, it helps to whine ...

Says on your profile you're male, so either your unit fell off or I wasn't addressing my post to you, which is it

I don't belong to a gym, everything is in the basement or dining room. Besides, I'm toast, there is nothing on my body that doesn't hurt. Finally, I have to go to work soon. I've been working, on average, until 8:00 p.m. every night and I get ONE day off this week, which is tomorrow, but I'm having major trouble work wise, I can't get into the zone.

I get that way too. Although I still workout, I occasionally get the feeling that my workout just wasn't good enough. I started taking assault and that's helped me get in that zone tremendously.

I always workout at night as I work 12+ hours 6 days a week year round. So I usually come home from work, say hi to the wife and kid, change and down to my gym in the basement because I know if my ass hits the couch i'm probably not going to get off until bed time. LOL

Well, you see there's where I'm wondering if I am a masochist. I've noticed I usually start slacking off when the DOMS starts diminishing or disappearing. Then it seems I stay off just long enough (6 weeks or so) that I'm guaranteed feeling like I've had the shit kicked out of me. It's a cycle. I'm really wondering if I have a subconscious thing going on here, seriously.
