This week, I realized that maybe I am addicted to working out. As a person who hated exercising for a decade, I never expected anything like this to come. However, I realized that I feel depressed and unmotivated when I don’t exercise that day. On Monday, I somehow lost control while exercising. My energy was boosting up and I couldn’t stop. In my boxing academy, I didn’t realize that I was punching the sandbags for 30 minutes until I realized it was 8:40 (my boxing class ends at 8). This energy continued at the gym. Usually, my maximum running time was 30 minutes but I was keep on running after 40 minutes passed. I ran for 42 minutes. I ran only for 2 minutes longer because the shower booths were closing at 10:30. Having explosive energy proved that my strength got improved which is great. However, I wasn’t aware of the consequences that this will bring. I worked out twice more than usual. That meant I spent too much time just exercising. I ended up cramming all the work that I have to do at that night but couldn’t even finish till the end. The next day, my body was aching and I couldn’t go to school. Also, I had to make up the work that I couldn’t finish last night. Due to this, I had to skip a whole day of exercising. I felt very depressed and heavy. Sitting on the chair for such a long time made me feel uncomfortable and lazy. I have this rule that I made for myself: watch YouTube only at the gym while working out. This rule has made me focus a lot better on doing my work at home. However, since I didn’t go to the gym, I ended up watching more unnecessary YouTube videos than usual. I really regret the way I used my time. I shouldn’t have used my time too irresponsibly by working out excessively when I have so many things to do. Next week, if you can see it from my workout plan for next week, I am facing three cheat days. I made them as cheat days because those days are very important to me and I want to eat good food while having a chat with my favorite people. On Friday, the seniors are going to a small retreat to eat dinner together. On Saturday and Sunday, I am finally hanging out with my life-best friend. I have cheat days coming up. This means I should be a lot stricter with my diet and workout to prevent drastic weight increase. My body weight has increased approximately 1kg (66.5kg à 67.3kg) which tells me that I should work harder on it. I’m not saying that I want my body weight to decrease every single day. I actually thought the result was reasonable. I felt a little heavy for skipping boxing classes, riding my mom’s car on the way back home, and gym sessions. One thing that I should work hard on next time is to use my time more wisely. If I can use my time more wisely, then I would be able to do my work, exercise, and rest.
