Daughter showed this after waking me up. 5 mins after I set up everything for my workout.

| /u/ShinyCaper You did the hard part. Tomorrow you'll do more. |
| /u/gummby8 "I'm enjoying the uselessness of today and readying my usefulness for tomorrow" |
| /u/Adamantium17 For those that come after |
| /u/gwynbleidd047 I too am "Whooo.' But I'm also "Wheee!" So the "Wheee" balances the "Whooo." |
| /u/Belazor It sounds like you're in a kind of "wheee-woooo-wheee-woooo" situation. |
| /u/SuburbanEnnui2020 Exercise today? Eh... tomorrow comes. |
| /u/BeneficialSector7458 Came here to say this 😂 |
| /u/Murasasme I love that this phrase is the complete opposite of don't leave for tomorrow what you can do today (a popular saying in my country) |
| /u/PhysicalAnt7488 Joking, i say, do tomorrow what could be done today |
| /u/Electrical-Apple-631 There are 3 rules for professional procrastinators: 1) Don't do today that what you can do tomorrow. 2) Don't do tomorrow that what you can put off indefinitely. 3)Don't do what you put off indefinitely that what you can avoid completely. |
| /u/btveron I jokingly say that tomorrow me is really not going to be very happy with today me when I procrastinate too much lol |
| /u/PhysicalAnt7488 I saw on a t-shirt, I put the pro in procrastinate |
| /u/Higira I always say... It's tomorrow's me problem. Not today me. |
| /u/Hazee302 This game is such an absolute banger all around. |
| /u/Kuro_Ken "I'm enjoying the uselessness of today and readying my uselessness again for tomorrow" ~ Me quoting someone named Gustave but with a realistic twist |
| /u/MoistStub "I am speeeeeeeed" - Esquie |
| /u/Totally_a_Banana "Time for a swim swim" |
| /u/heyitswes89 I'm the fastest ball! |
| /u/gwynbleidd047 I too am "Whooo.' But I'm also "Wheee!" So the "Wheee" balances the "Whooo." |
| /u/DisillusionedHobbit I'm going back to the gym today after about 2 months off due to family stuff. I'm not stressing about weight, reps, anything until I'm back in the habit of going. |
| /u/x_scion_x I really, really like this. Would probably make returning much easier rather than trying to force yourself to hit some number. |
| /u/bloodfist Personally I've only kept track of that stuff when I have gym buddies who get motivated by being competitive. Doesn't matter at all to me. I count my reps to know how many to do, and I go up in weight when it feels right. If that's too hard today, I go back down. I notice when I've gone up in weight and it feels good, but I don't need to prove anything. Form, repetition, and consistency mean more to your gains than any specific number. Only one I really put any self-worth into is how long I am able to keep up the routine. I've had to accept that sometimes I'll go a year or more where I just don't wanna and I can't make me. So I need to push myself through those first few months where it's just torture half the time. But like Terry Crews says, just go and get changed and spend the hour there. You can read a book in the parking lot if you want. But by then you'll probably want to work out at least a little. |
| /u/skitchbeatz Honestly to get in the best shape the only unlock you need is just to remember all of these numbers from last week and go up 1% in your weight, or effort. It doesn't always work but in general that's all you need. The rest comes with it. |
| /u/DisillusionedHobbit Interesting hearing what works for different people. Keeping track of all that stuff keeps me motivated and on track - I like knowing that I was able to do something better than the last time. |
| /u/Chemieju The number to hit is "do the warmup". 9 put of 10 times you'll do more afterwards. 1 out of 10 times you go home afterwards, and thats allright. Same trick works for eating less fastfood, tell yourself "you can allways order a second time" and take only a small ammount. Most times you'll be satisfied after that, and occasionally you just eat some more. |
| /u/NecessaryPen7 Family stuff often turns into a reason to avoid. I gained 20lbs and lost muscle this winter with family stuff. Zero reason i couldn't be doing squats and pushups. Would have helped with stress, sleeping, everything |
| /u/PM_me_punanis Rest is good for the body and the mind. It should be a right on the constitution at this point since corporations that rule the world make us feel guilty for resting. That should force them to change their policies. Of course, I am dreaming lol |
| /u/Airmcghie1 Exactly, and if she fell asleep it meant she needed it. We need to stop treating taking care of ourselves as a sin. In other countries they have a work life balance, they have to use their vacation days, they have universal healthcare and paid maternity and paternity leave. They have mental health care facilities and homes for the elderly that aren't going to cost you 4-7k a month. We are hamsters on a wheel as the middle class disappears and the rich get richer while everyone one else is barely hanging on both monetarily and physically. And the powerful and rich just blame us. The amount of times I've heard the insanely wealthy complaining that poor people are entitled and just want hand outs and they're just not budgeting well is astounding. None of these people would last a day in their shoes. |
| /u/InnocentPrimeMate Meditation is important, too |
| /u/Signal_Challenge_539 This is what I came here to say |
| /u/Unarchy Yes, a 15 minute nap instead of a measly 5 minutes. |
| /u/Left-Doubt-203 A case of oldieosis... |
| /u/Aleksandrovitch I was just thinking that before commenting. I'd pat yourself on the back. Some big deep breaths usually banish sleepiness enough for me to start without wanting to evaporate. |
| /u/Wooden_Objective_721 Gotta sleep well or working out wont be effective |
| /u/BiBoFieTo My strategy is three sets, followed by six months of rest. |
| /u/Jetztinberlin "It's like I did that push-up last year for nothing!" |
| /u/pchlster I was told to always master one step before advancing. These gym types talk about eating well before working out. I'm still convinced I could find more stuff to eat, so I'd better wait. |
| /u/EEpromChip ...can we space out the sets a bit with rest? |
| /u/sephkane Look at this triathlete over here |
| /u/tillerman35 I've spent my entire life trying to put the "ex" back in "exercise." |
| /u/Cyraga I do the same. I'm in the 4th year of rest so that'll be about 24 sets when I get to it |
| /u/NefariousnessOk209 5-15 is a solid refresher too, a half an hour or longer will make you feel groggy. |
| /u/Icy-Introduction5592 Why call me out like this? I'll go to sleep when I feel like it. |
| /u/SuicidalWeeb69 Fell asleep writing the title |
| /u/DeTalores Thanks, I legit could not understand what was happening here lol. |
| /u/Moiyub He set everything up for the workout, 5 minutes later someone came in and died on the mat, then the daughter took a picture of the dead body, then the daughter showed her dad the picture she just took of the dead body on the mat |
| /u/IBullyFurnaces Pretend the period doesn't exist |
| /u/Top-Noise5959 Oh lord! I thought I was the only one confused. |
| /u/LuckyDuckTheDuck Hey OP, when's the last time you checked your carbon monoxide detectors? |
| /u/Seiche My "daughter" is leaving me sticky notes and taking pictures of me |
| /u/NotTotallyHere I thought I fell asleep reading the title! |
| /u/zero5activated Truthfully, sometimes your body needs sleep. It's not sloth; your body is just trying to heal and exercising can hinder that. |
| /u/Flashy_Comfortable_8 Agreed. If you're falling asleep that fast after just setting up workout stuff, you're definitely not getting enough sleep. |
| /u/zero5activated Not enough sleep, a smaller diet, not enough nutrition, age etc. Or sometimes, it's just a nice day, sunny blue sky and soft winds can lull anyone to sleep. It's summer, enjoy your siesta and rest up. |
| /u/wanderlinks Ahhh, it's been so long since I was lulled into sleep watching the blue sky. Miss it. :') |
| /u/Cheet4h Could also be a sign of sleep illnesses, where you cannot get enough sleep, like narcolepsy, excessive daytime sleepiness, or sleep apnea. /u/nocluebeing, if something like this is a regular occurence, consider consulting a sleep doctor. I know somebody with narcolepsy and their quality of life went up dramatically after they dialed in the right treatment. Sleep illnesses are also not really something that is easy to deduce for the afflicted people, since it's really hard to gauge your own sleepiness in comparison to others. |
| /u/goopuslang Reddit mob yesterday tried telling me, "if you're healthy, you should workout at least once every day." Like... dawgs... genuinely can't talk to people on here |
| /u/ICame4TheCirclejerk Exactly this. My body has been healing all my life and my fat ass just can't get started on that exercise part. |
| /u/QuantumFighter_999 NGL. I struggled to understand the title and picture correlation. I think I need a nap too. |
| /u/photosendtrain It reads as if the daughter showed this image 5 mins after the workout stuff was setup. Which doesn't make sense because it says they were woke up. Hard to understand. For those confused, OP is the person in the photo. They setup their workout equipment, then 5 minutes later took a nap. Their daughter took the picture, woke up OP, and then showed them it. |
| /u/ibulleti I thought the husband saw it and thought, for me? |
| /u/crumble-bee I thought someone came in and went to sleep on their workout mat stopping them from working out |
| /u/GimmieGummies Haha, ditto. I had to read the comments to understand what I was seeing and why it was funny 🤷♀️ |
| /u/Mauchit_Ron This title gave me diarrhea and made me blind in one eye |
| /u/wimpires A picture of me asleep, 5 mins after I set up everything for my workout. |
| /u/neriisan Ty I had no idea what op was trying to type tbh |
| /u/PM_YOUR__BUBBLE_BUTT Hey now, they did their best. They probably typed it while they're still sleepy! |
| /u/ShoppingUnable7162 I don't know why, but i read it in a Scottish accent from Scottish-Indian shop scene in Still Game. 😂 |
| /u/King0fthewasteland The title made the hair on my nuts fall off |
| /u/LentilRice ..fall off into his mouth. |
| /u/Haruka_Kazuta Not horribly written, just written in a confusing way. "Daughter took a picture of me, asleep, after preparing to workout" |
| /u/BizarreCake That's kinda what being poorly written implies, lol... |
| /u/doomgiver98 The second sentence is a phrase fragment and a non-sequitur. It is poorly written. |
| /u/retro-morte I wonder if OP is also southern because I read this perfectly |
| /u/rolandjernts The hardest part is showing up. The second hardest part is staying awake. |
| /u/nocluebeing I showed up, I slept well. I'll workout tomorrow |
| /u/lizardhindbrain Guess you needed the nap. |
| /u/UseDue6373 I'm sitting on my bed procrastinating driving to the gym. I know once I'm in there I'll feel good |
| /u/nocluebeing You got this. Get a thick yoga mat amd listen to your body. Maybe you too need a nap :) |
| /u/Most_Can_2136 I wish I could doze off like that. I bet that felt wonderful. There's nothing like the feeling of refreshment after you wake up from a good nap. Your body knows best. |
| /u/Suz626 Aww glad you got a nap! Next time you'll get a step further into your work out. |
| /u/icietlabas I used to sleep in my workout clothes to eliminate one obstacle for getting myself to the gym. Just an idea. (Now I have a workout buddy so getting started is easier.). OTOH, I think sleep is more important than working out. |
| /u/1012Ford You're doing great! Progress not perfection. |
| /u/dammitjanetiloveu Sounds like daughter found her sleeping, snapped the pic, then woke her up and showed her the pic. She had fallen asleep a few min after she set things up for her workout. OP maybe you need to get checked out for narcolepsy. |
| /u/nocluebeing Thanks for explaining. Sorry about the title. Btw I'm the dad |
| /u/25c-nb Brother.. you may be pushing it a bit too hard. If your passing out like that, it may be a sign. Go easier on yourself, maybe you need to catch up a little on sleep. Obviously you care about taking care of yourself, gettin enough sleep is part of that hehe |
| /u/dammitjanetiloveu Oops I apologize for misgendering! |
| /u/kratomdevil Dude sleeps like a lady |
| /u/web_knows You owe me 10 cents. That last sentence costed me a spat out coffee sip. |
| /u/rbrgr83 Or blood sugar at least. Are you peeing a lot? |
| /u/Sagaquarius1329 Hey, an exercise mat can have many uses 🤷♀️ |
| /u/nocluebeing I'm worried I'll be using it more for this new purpose 😴 |
| /u/Conscious_Chain_238 I love the internet. Well at least u made use of the yoga mat |
| /u/nocluebeing True, today I fell for the comfiness of the mat lol. I always found it comfortable for working out or maybe I just needed to sleep badly |
| /u/shhhpark putting a mat down....i'm all set up!! |
| /u/P_J_Frye One night I went down to do my first day of P90X and I went whole hog. The goal was to be in shape by a certain date where I had to do a small performance shirtless. The next morning my wife was waking me up getting me off the same spot I failed my last sit up. She said I was there the whole night. I responded "I must have fell asleep". Her reply was "no, you passed out" |
| /u/nocluebeing Passing out is no joke. Take it slow just like me |
| /u/notabigmelvillecrowd I set up for my workout today, then spent the next 20 minutes lying on my yoga mat ordering a couch. So I feel ya. |
| /u/nocluebeing I have the same problem except that the couch will be still in the cart and not checked out. Kudos to you for making the order |
| /u/HopelessLiveMore24 Hey, furniture ordering is strenuous business! Elevated heart rate and all. |
| /u/FacetiouslyWry I thought it was just some random-ass dude on your mat. and I was just gonna ask whose fuckin dude it really was? Your's or just some freakin rando's? |
| /u/DJC2913 Some of my best naps have been on the floor while anticipating exercise. |
| /u/Succulent-Shrimps You had the right intention 🤣. Sounds like you and your daughter have a good relationship. It's important to be able to laugh at things. |
| /u/PsychologicalLoad542 I remember years ago after having my daughter, I'd put on fitness videos from YouTube or whatever, with the full intention of working out. But my husband would walk into the living room to find me sitting on the floor against the couch, asleep, with a half eaten stick of string cheese 🤣 A for effort though ! |
| /u/nocluebeing Lol I can relate to that. Hope its different now and you have eaten the full stick this time 😂 |
| /u/Boinkyboinky Tell everyone you were stretching your eyelids. |
| /u/BeefEater81 It appears your fitness strategy.... |
| /u/49wanderer How many "Nap Reps" did you get in, exactly? Remember, it's important to start out slowly, and gradually build them up! Once you're ready, you can extend the length of time for each "Nap Rep"! Oh, and once you really get the hang of those longer naps? I can recommend a really good exercise, where you use all of the skills you've learned and have been practicing in your "Nap Reps", and apply it directly to an exercise you need to do, every evening. It's called "8 Hours of Uninterrupted Sleep". You may have heard of it before, and it's also highly likely that before you had children, you found meeting the demands and length of this exercise, quite easy. It's been observed that teens and those in their 20s seem to be the best at it! 😂 |
