This week's workouts have been very challenging. I've been going to the gym every morning. After everyone's dropped off for the day, I hit the gym. I find that if I go right away, I don't give myself a chance to talk myself out of going to the gym. So I park my car outside the gym and have my fruit breakfast and read my Bible in the car! This way... when I'm done, it's right there and I can't make excuses. Is it just me who goes through this mental debate/struggle to convince myself to go to the gym and work my butt off? I mean even if I know that it will be good for me and I'll feel so much better after, it still doesn't make me want to go! So I drag my behind to the gym and get on a machine feeling like I want to be somewhere else but here. But within a few minutes, I start to feel better. It's like coming alive. lol.
Now that eating healthy seems like a normal routine, I have to remind myself that being active is a daily thing. Exercise or getting active is a must every day. I get so overwhelmed sometimes thinking that tomorrow I'm back at it... not just the gym but trying to be constantly moving and not sitting for long periods of time. I'm just not used to that and so it just seem so foreign to me. So when I'm walking/running (so far 3-5 min.! Yay!) on the treadmill or on the elliptical and I get overwhelmed coz I've got to do this again tomorrow... I block it out right away. I would then try to just focus on today. It doesn't seem so overwhelming that way.
So enough blogging and sitting... gotta get my butt moving! I CAN do this!
You are not alone! There have been so many days where I have to force myself to go to my fitness classes. The days I don't have a class I find it really hard to motivate myself to workout. Keep at it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the encouragement!!! I do try to take it one day at a time or else I get really overwhelmed. =)
