Most people easily persist during the first couple of days of starting a new habit, but not I. Each day is an uphill battle and new opportunity to say nope. This is particularly true when it comes to working out because I don’t look forward to it (yea, I said it). It feels like another chore to check off a to-do list. And mayyybe it’s because I never stuck to working out for a long period of time, but I’ve yet to experience the endorphins my fit-friends rave about. The happy feelings I have usually relate to the exercise part being over.
On top of that, enter the issue of schedules. I’m never one to have a consistent schedule. I have events, appointments, or gathering to go to after work anywhere from 2-3x a week. My hubby works from home sometimes, and other times has to commute for over an hour one way.
We’re all over the place, so finding a time to work out together can be difficult. Today was a prime example of that. As we were going to bed last night and reviewing our schedules today, we realized we can either work out at dawn or late at night. For some reason, we went to bed and agreed that dawn would be the best option. I hate mornings. I’m not sure why I thought that was going to happen…it didn’t. Still, with a resolve to not fail on the 2nd day of the challenge, we persevered. We ended up working out a little before 8 p.m. and just ended up eating dinner at 9 p.m. It may not be ideal, but we made it work. See below!
