Why? Well, not only have I been too busy to blog, but there has been no fitness to blog about.
That's right. I haven't done a solid workout in more than three weeks.
Lame.
To be honest, I have no good excuse for not working out. I could say I'm busy, but let's be real -- we're all busy, but we find time for the things we want to do. I've had time to read several books. Clearly, I could have found time for a run, a ride, or some other form of exercise. But I didn't. Lame. And I'm not happy with myself.
But I'm also not going to beat myself up or dwell on it. That's no way to make progress.
Instead, I just have to move forward and make my workouts a priority.
Starting today. Why wait until Monday? I went ahead and got back on the horse today with a 1.5-mile run this morning. I had planned on a longer run, but I had a really hard time getting out of bed in time for that.
And since I have no workouts behind me, I'll make a plan for next week.

How do you get back on track?
I totally hear you, and you are a rockstar with that itinerary!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for making a schedule!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to do a couple of classes a week. I had plans to continue with the kettle bell class this week, but then I did something to my back, and so yoga was all I could manage today.
Making a plan and sticking to it is the key. I carry the class schedule in my planner.
i haven't worked out in about two weeks--the longest drought in a LONG time. But I figured I needed a break before I get back into it.
ReplyDeleteI have gotten into plenty of fitness funks, but you are right--just gotta get back up and start! It's tough but it's doable. Just know that if you don't get every single workout done next week that it's not a bad thing--I always tried to push myself and would get burnt out trying to do everything again. Little by little things will come back!
