February

February seems to be off to a rough start in trying to get back into a routine. This was also seen throughout January. It seems like after the holidays I lost my motivation to hit the gym or get a run in. I have been a little disappointed in myself lately for not pushing myself to workout. I’ve been making a lot of excuses to not workout and they seem to be working. I am aware I need to continue to push myself, but need to find a little more motivation to actually get myself out and doing the things I love.

Along with the excuses, I’ve definitely noticed my stress levels and mental health have not been very good. I have been stressing a lot more and feel way less confident in myself than I do when I workout. I’ve been stressing over things that are not in my control and I need to fix this. This is what has been pushing me to try and get on a schedule and back into a workout routine. I’m already a week and a half into February and am now wanting to make the change to do better.

I know once I do make this change I will start stressing less and feel better about the things I cannot control. To further push myself in the right direction, I went ahead and looked at my January goals. Even though I ran less than I would have liked I did make sure to hit 3 miles or more on every run. This is something I am proud of and want to continue to do as February progresses. I look forward to getting more workouts in and making sure to push myself to help relieve the current stress I feel from not working out.
