I keep thinking working out and dieting is mostly mental but I do see the physical component at times. There's a tie between mind and physical endurance especially if you are in your 50s. I saw it last night while I'm working through my workout and in my head I am saying give it up for the night but in the back of my mind I'm hearing don't give it up...work through it.
I get through the cardio workout feeling crappy and the weight lifting seemed extra tough and I go to the track which I mix with sit-up, chin ups and arm lifts. I start feeling sick in my stomach..so I settle down and do the walking laps. I get back to the point where I usual do another 30 sit ups and I realize stopping would be best but I tell myself Bull Crap! You've gotten this far and you're tired and just do three at a time and rest and stretch. I did that feeling I was doggin it but in the end I did finished everything and the stomach problem was more likely related to the sports drink. Sometimes I think water is the best choice for a workout.
I went home and ate supper and helped my wife with some house work and hit the hay. The physical side can be hard and should be respected but you need to compromise a routine a bit to help keep on track. I've learned over the years...don't fear the physical signs unless you really believe something serious is occurring. I've stopped thinking heart attack years ago while hiking in the deep snow in the winder. I would start panicking thinking I'm out in the woods and this would be a bad place for a heart attack. I would suddenly start feeling palpitation and such and then I would start laughing at myself for being so predictable. They would go away after I rested for a few minutes and I would go on.
PS. I always told my co-workers that I was out there snowshoeing or hiking. It's always the best policy since bad things can happen.
