Starting over
I'm feeling really bummed because I have been sick and havn't run for about a week and a half. So my fear is that I am having to start over and am going to be way behind everyone else. I was always the last anyways. So just have patience with me and hopefully I will get my motivation back real soon. I hope everyone else is doing great and reaching your goals.

Jaime- YEP- I completely agree with you. I haven't run for a week either and I'm frustrated that I'll have to start over too. I've been the last too in class and am having a hard time not getting frustrated with everything. I want to run the 5K i've signed up for Dec 6th in AZ, but am getting more and more frustrated- I feel like quitting most days and, like you, am looking for my motivation as it has lasped. Perhaps it's in the same place as yours?! How are you feeling now? I still am coughing, but think I'm just going to have to wheeze through and possibly make myself sicker in order to keep on track. I just want you to know that you are not alone in your place- I am there too :) Keep thinking good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Krista. I'm glad I'm not alone in this feeling but on the other hand I don't wish anyone to feel this way. I have lots of reasons to get motivated and get healthy but the other part of me is just a little stronger. I just need to keep on keeping on trying. If that makes sense?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Jaime- it makes perfect sense. It's been so long that the 'other part' has been talking and we've been listening to it; that the new part, which touts health and excercise is still speaking quietly. It's so easy to listen to the old part- the part that gives us excuses for not working out. The old part and I are very close friends and I'm trying to begin to listen to the new part, but it's speaking extremely quietly! I wish it was like my 2 1/2 year old and would scream an excercise song in my ear to get me to push it a bit further. :) Perhaps during this journey the old part will quiet down and the new part will begin to talk louder. I ran on the treadmill last night- I did the 5 min jog! It was a slow jog, but I did it. At the end of the whole thing, my legs were jelly and I had a hard time catching my breath, but I did it. And that's all I can ask while I'm sick. :) Get back on the treadmill and start slowly!
ReplyDeleteWell i'm proud of you! Good job! That's more than what i have done. I'm hoping soon that the other voice will scream louder than the lazy one. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteKrista- Welcome to the blog! I enjoyed your comments and I am proud of you for recognizing some of the things that work against you. You can beat them! I can't wait to see you do so.
ReplyDeleteJamie, you are "lucky" enough to have another voice- your next door neighbor and coach who is determined to help you learn to love exercise!
Starting over is something we all have to do in many areas of our life. The key is to never give up and not beat yourself up. You are doing great Jamie. Sickness is always going to make us slow down. See you tomorrow!
