Hey guys! How was your weekend? Mine was busy! Between the Saturday morning workout, Carmen’s basketball game and a killer workout aka house cleaning on Sunday, it feels like there was no weekend at all!
Anywho. Did you have a good week last week?
Mine was terrible.
I felt demotivated, lazy, blobby and overall so-so sorry for my poor self!
Result – only two workouts last week:
Monday night spin class with MJ
Saturday spin with Johnny D.
Between Monday and Saturday, for 4 days that is, I did sweet nothing.
I don’t know what came over me these past couple weeks…I am just generally not feeling good. Not at all.
Everything seems useless, pointless and done in vain.
What do you do when you feel that way? I try find positive things around me and count my blessings.
So, I’m gonna try!
{1} I have a wonderful family!
Carmen’s science project got 2nd place at the fair!
{2} I got my CPR certification – one step closer to becoming a spinning instructor
{3} I am in good health and so is everyone I love.
{4} I make kick $ss salads and everybody knows that 🙂
yep, like this one
Ok, so that’s 4 blessings – one for each day last week that I felt crappy and didn’t workout.
Now I need to suck it up and go spinning tonight even if I have to drag my butt to the gym. Because guess what? I am NO QUITTER!
How do you motivate yourself on days you feel like crap and don’t want to workout?
So, I get those days, too. Motivationless days can really suck. Like really. I love that you thought of counting your blessings! All too often, people forget to do that and the struggles to get re-motivated get even harder. You know what I think it is? I think your body has been telling you that you needed a little break and you weren’t really listening (or ignoring – I’m really good at doing THAT!) the signs. So, your body took over and forced you to take a mini-vacay. It’s all good. You needed it! The minute you stop beating yourself up for it will be the minute the stress lifts and you feel positive and ready to hop back up on that horse … or spin bike. 🙂
I think you’re absolutely right, Jen!
You always find the right words and take the time to say them. I really appreciate it!
