We all have them. Sometimes it starts from the moment you open your eyes in the morning, when those first streams of light hit your eyeballs and all you can do is squint and pull the sheets back over your head.

Other times it creeps up on you as the day goes on. It can leave you feeling flat, annoyed and generally unmotivated.

The “Hump” Day has got to be one of the most frustrating things to deal with, especially when your trying to accomplish fitness and health goals.
It’s even worse when you have hump days in succession. Days can really become a blur and trying to motivate yourself to get off the couch or even more drastic, onto your bike can take some serious will power.

I’ve been in a bit of a hump phase lately. It started during my holidays and even though I promised myself to get on my bike this morning, I managed to find plenty of excuses not to ride.
Admittedly, my car did die on the weekend and my mechanic was due this morning but still, I should have made the effort.

My whole day has been pretty lazy and although I have eaten sensibly, I didn’t get any exercise and that’s not good.

This afternoon I decided that enough was enough and grabbed the dog and went for a nice long walk. It was nice to get out and suck in some fresh air. Better still, I think it got me out of my hump phase. Fancy that ;)

So the point of this post? If you are having a hump day my best advice is to just put it to one side, get on your bike or open the front door and go for a walk. You will be amazed at how quickly you feel better.
