30 minute walk this morning

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

I know it is not flashy or difficult, but I go in a 30 minute walk on the treadmill this morning. That was a great Triumph. I have slacked off greatly on my morning exercise and that has led to many days where due to other obligations I don't get a workout in in the afternoon. I was working out every morning in March , but fell off the bandwagon in April and could not get back on in May. I started last night with a work out at a local church and this AM, I got in 30 minutes of the treadmill. I really hate being on the treadmill, especially since the weather is GREAT where I live but time has not been on my side in the evening. I hope to get in another 45 minutes to an hour this after for a walk/run, but If not, then I can at least say I got in 30 minutes this morning. emoticon

    Yeah! You are gonna walk yourself right out that rut! Consistant exercise that gets your heart pumping and sweat pouring is the best mood lifter I know!

Congrats.

I am stuck in a Rut

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

I really have to get back to a consistent workout plan. These last few weeks, have been horrible on my consistency. the month of march I worked out each day with the jillian micheals video. We were going to do another video as a group in APril, but with spring break and a surgical procedure on my leg, I got out o f the 5:00 am habit from march and I have not been able to get back in the swing of things.

I am felling very pity partish (I know that is not a word) but I was doing so well in march, and I can't get back there. this journey is mentally difficult. I am not feel very confident in my success today.

    You can do it one step at a time.

    You did it before, you can do it again...take baby steps until you get back to where you were before...be kind to yourself...after leg surgery you have to make sure you are fully recovered and rest is part of that!!! emoticon

    Long term change happens one small step at a time.

The ability to follow a routine requires more than just self-discipline and determination. It requires the establishment of habits. We need to get into the habit of waking up at a certain time, following through with our morning routine, leaving the kitchen clean after each meal, and completing our most important tasks for the day before we move on to others, before we can expect our desired routine to become a reality.

Habits are not acquired simply because we decide that they're good and valuable and we want them to have a place in our lives. Habits require time, effort, purposefulness and persistence in order to become consistent.

    You can do it. I know it's hard to get back on the 5 am schedule. Last week my running days were out of order and it really mixed me up. Go for a good workout to tire yourself out and go to bed early and get up at 5 am tomorrow. I'll do it too and we'll both get back on track :)

    I am in a physical set back as well. Not sure how it is going to resolve and when. I am not a natural workout guy but I was doing pretty good till this setback.

Hope to get back on track again.

Great blog that I needed today. Thanks.

    I think it is "Party-ish". Been there, done that, bought a tee shirt.

Today is a brand new day

Make Today a Great Day!

    Hi, I'm Josie.
I'm glad your leg is on the mend. Zumba sounds like so much fun, and you certainly are dedicated. I can tell because you already have your workout laid out for your 5AM workout.

That's awesome! THAT'S inspirational! emoticon
I'm going to vote for you as one of the motivational people here on SP.

Thank you!
