A speaker describes feeling exhausted from a strict no-carb diet and hip pain that make the gym sound miserable. They go anyway, not for themselves but because coaches and sponsors believe in them and have invested in their success.
It's, uh, yeah, 20 to 5. I'm absolutely exhausted. The no carbs thing's just kicking my butt. I don't want to go to the gym. Um, well, I'm just not enjoying it, you know, just, just finding it difficult. I find the diet a bit of a challenge. Not breaking it, but just difficult, you know. I just don't want to go. It's purely decisional, you know. Well, my right hip's starting to hurt just with— I think it's just the, you know, the diet and the changes and just pushing myself. But I'm lying in bed. I've been lying here for 40 minutes making up reasons why I'm not going to the gym. And today the reason I go to the gym is because, is because people believe in me. Other people believe in me. I put their faith and their trust in me that I'll give it my best. So today I'll go to the gym, not for my goals, not because I want to, but because I promised other people I'd do my best. And they've cooked for me, they've supported me, they've coached me. My sponsors have stood behind me. Um, so, God, man.
