September is quickly approaching. Which of course means, I have a 5k to run. My aunt that's running it with me has been doing so good in working out everyday! I just suck. It's my own damn fault though. When I lost my old job, I stopped going to the gym. I just couldn't justify paying a gym membership when paying my light bill was there too. After that, I stayed home with the kids and just stopped working out. I knew it would happen... I don't have the motivation to do anything at home. I tell myself all the time that I need to.
So why don't I? Why don't I just get off my ass and do something?
I have every excuse under the sun as to why, and I know y'all have heard them all. From "I'm too tired" to "I'm too busy". The busy part really isn't true anymore. By the time I get home from work, I still have time in the day to work out. I just don't. Honestly, I'm just too lazy.
What am I really trying to say in this post? I don't know. I started out thinking I was going to pump myself up and get this whole plan together about how I would work out "x" amout during the week, but if I'm really honest with myself that's not going to happen. I'm not sure what needs to change or what I need to do. Maybe y'all can give me some pointers in the comments. Who knows.
I do know I will still be running the Run or Dye race next month. I may be slower than turtles in peanut butter, but damnit I'll be racing! I do know I absolutely don't want to gain any weight back. We like this girl, and we want her to lose another 25-30 lbs!

Just do it! No excuses! Just do it. :)
ReplyDeleteSo so easy to just keep not going once you've stopped and the hardest thing is to start working out again, but just do it. Remind yourself that you know you'll feel a lot better once you do!
Gotta get back on the wagon of sorts!!! Just get into it (oh how hard it is!).
ReplyDeleteI totally hear you on this one... I can't keep myself motivated either!
ReplyDeleteI can't keep myself motivated and it would be better if I had a partner to do it with me. That way I would be motivated and we could motivate each other.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you. And there is a freaking elliptical in my living room. My air conditioned living room in from of the tv. I have zero excuses. I just don't want to.
