So my issues with exercise are pretty much the same. I prefer to exercise in the morning. It feels good to start my day of right, however I have little desire to wake up before the sun rises to get on the treadmill that evidently wakes everyone up (we have wood floors). I am also not a fan of walking/riding my bike in the dark; so that leaves me with an after work exercise regimen.
Most days I am out of work by 4pm on average (some days 8pm on paperwork week). Plenty of time you say right? Honestly yes it is and my drive home is spent on plotting the great walk that will happen as soon as I get home. When I get there (after a 45 min commute), I realize I haven't eaten since 12pm (if at all) due to the non-stop parade of clients I had during the day and eating in front of them is not really an option (not to mention the 5 mins I get in between sessions is usually set aside to pee). So I find and eat a snack and at 5:30pm I'm ready to change. Oops got to let the dog out first. Next, I set out to change into my no matter what I do they ride up apparel and realize how damn tired I am and how exhausting it is to be a cheerleader for the mentally ill. It is now 5:45 and I just wish I can sit down and just breathe, but soon prep for dinner will start (and bedtime is in 4 hours) so I need to get to it. "It's only 30 mins" I tell myself "don't be a slacker!" This I'm thinking as I plot to just get up early tomorrow and work out in the morning.
Well, we just had the best walk ever, so I think we have found the key to making time! :) Thanks for getting me motivated!
ReplyDeleteFind something you ENJOY doing that's exercise - dancing, tennis, swimming, Zumba, or punching the air and do it :) Make it fun - not work! :)
ReplyDeleteEureka! We can walk on the treadmill while watching netflix on the iPad. Lol.
