Everytime I "re-start" my exercise schedule, I ask myself - When I feel so good and energized after just a couple of days of exercising, why do I need to push myself to get back to it everytime?
Obviously there is no easy answer - there are a million excuses - from lack of time on some days, to my painful varicose problems on others, but even if a bit irregularly at first I am going to stick to it. The wonderful P90 is one of the best schedules I have ever come across - you really see an effect in abdominal weight and firmness within a couple of weeks of doing it. This time I am going to actually see it through for 90 days and see if it has any miraculous effects on my "abs".
One of my collegemates had posted on FB about this same routine, and I immediately pounced on the idea to have a partner of sorts :). Even if we're not synchronizing our schedules, just having some accountability, having someone to tell - Hey I managed to get to it today! - is a really good booster to trying to keep to some sort of, if not perfect routine.
So this time I am 5 days into it (last time I stopped at 2 weeks with my varicose pains) and keeping fingers crossed. Apologies to anyone reading this - I know I am sounding like a stuck record and being very repetitive, but I am just putting my accountability all over the internet :).

This one had me smiling like I had a hanger in my mouth. I'm guilty of the same flaw.. Having to push myself now and then to do what I really feel good about. I don't have a hour long work out or something. I really do not care for my weight or midriff. I just like to jog for a good 15-20 mins. Even for that I suddenly stop doing it and have to push myself again :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading Life_Refactored !
ReplyDeleteI am still in the sticking to it mode (fingers crossed!), though been very irregular and managed only 10 days out of 20 - still with some online help, plus trying to change around the timing of my exercising, think I just might make it :). All the best to you too, I think it's tougher for working people cos you really have to plan out the timing even more than someone like me!
