I haven’t worked out in a week and I feel like total shit. It seems to be a running theme in my life. I can either do it all or I can do nothing. Basically it all comes down to me wanting to be the best at everything — I want all my laundry and dishes done, dinner cooked, the house cleaned, and an hour and half work out. Is that too much to ask? I guess I have just lost my motivation. If I miss a few days of working out, I make excuses as to why I don’t have time to work out. Before I know it, it has been a week and I'm in a terrible mood. I don’t like the way I feel when I don’t work out, but I can’t seem to make myself get on the treadmill. I need someone to smack me in the face and push me down to the basement. Once I get back in my routine, I am sure everything will fall into place as it usually does. I am hoping this afternoon I can move my ass, otherwise I am just planning on becoming morbidly obese. Wish me luck!
I have so been there, well most of my adult life I was there with the whole wanting to have everything in my home perfect, all the dishes done, all the laundry done, all the toys picked up 24/7
ReplyDeletebut then I felt really convicted that I was missing out on my boys lives, I was too busy focusing on what I wanted, even though they were good things like housework, I wasn't enjoying life at home and like you pointed out a few blogs back our babies are gonna be in school b4 we can stop it! (Becks starts all day 4k in Aug) it was really hard at 1st to look at the dishes and say "its okay Kim, just let it be for now" I'm trying my best to be present in my everyday life and its hard, but Its my challenge for everyday
as far as the working out goes I hear you 100% I am scared to death to skip one day at the gym because I KNOW I will not go back....If its any encouragement & I'm not joking here you inspire me to be healthy, I know you work hard and push yourself and I know I can too
hang in there!!
LOVE YOU
Thanks pal! I am way too OCD not to have a clean house which I mainly do during nap time. I just have to realize work out first then clean after. If I start with cleaning, I never seem to get to the work out part of my day. I have worked out the past two days and I already feel a ton better. Seeing you post every morning definitely helps me everyday. I love that you are running now! I am super proud of you! I hope you feel (and look) great!
ReplyDeleteI am with both of you! I try and cram as much into nap time and "free time" if I get that...then usually my work out is left to nothing! I am terrified to train for this half marathon, I have to run everyday!! If I can't work out at home like 3 times a week, how am I going to do 7 days/week?! You both inspire me to get healthy!!
