Miss Monday

Never miss a Monday is a bullshit “rule”. ⁠
⁠
Miss it. ⁠
⁠
It’s one day of the week. 1/7. 14%. ⁠
⁠
You have 86% of the week left. ⁠
⁠
I don’t know where this never miss a Monday “rule” for fitness came from. But it’s dumb. Probably from some “fitness” magazine that says you can lose 15lbs in 5 days. All you have to do is eat air. ⁠
⁠
You just had a really stressful Monday. You haven’t eaten much. Are you going to ruin your progress by missing Monday? ⁠
⁠
Nope. ⁠
⁠
I would argue you can even improve your progress by missing it and reframing the situation. ⁠
You aren’t missing Monday. You are preparing for Tuesday. ⁠
⁠
You use the time you would normally use to exercise to prioritize other aspects of your health. ⁠
Maybe you take a nap. Maybe you take care of some tasks that have been stressing you out. Maybe you cook yourself a nice meal. Or go out for dinner. Treat yo self. ⁠
⁠
You are ready for Tuesday. ⁠
And then you crush it.⁠
⁠
Maybe over time you realize Monday just isn’t a good day for you to start your training week. ⁠
If the day ends in a Y, it’s a good day for you to start your training week.⁠
