Yesterday was a bit crap. I only managed to do my skipping, and I allowed my time to be overrun by my schedule meaning I didn't get through my diet properly. I was also in a really bad mood about something I can do nothing to change. I headed to bed to sleep it off and start fresh the next day.
And it was a lot better today. I realised that I've hit the point past which I have never gone in any exercise programme, and I think I'm reacting to it. Instead of giving up and going back to old habits, I have to keep going; but my mind isn't used to prolonged exercise/diet/healthy habits. I think a little part of me wanted to stop now and go back to how things usually are.
Realising this, I was able to carry on with the PCP today and I feel a lot better.

Onward and upward.
ReplyDeleteYep, there's a reason we go for 90 days. Three months will solidify new habits and banish old ones for good.
ReplyDeleteYay for keeping on with it!
ReplyDeleteNick, by the way, do you support either Rangers or Celitc?
ReplyDeleteI love the word "skipping," way better than my clumsy American "jumproping."
ReplyDeleteIt's really good that you blogged it out. I've so often hidden those destructive feelings. Remind yourself about why you started and how far you've come!
ReplyDeleteThanks all. It really does help to blog it out. Sitting on the defeatist feelings only magnifies them.
ReplyDeleteBrian: that's a loaded question here in Glasgow! Nominally I support Celtic, but only because my family is Catholic. Don't ask me about any games, though, as I'm not the biggest sport watcher in the world.
