This week has been bad. I’ve jogged a mile here and there, but nothing like last month. Getting to bed early enough for a 5 AM run has been nearly impossible. Eating right has been a struggle.
I guess the real hang up is motivation. I’m not sure if I really care about losing weight or becoming healthy. The last few weeks it’s been in the “good idea” category, but something I don’t have to do.
This is probably where most people live. Change is too hard, so they give up. That is what I’m feeling this morning.
I’ve made a good start on giving up. I’ve lost the desire to make a better life through running and self-control. Having this website forces me to think about it, otherwise I might have been just forgotten.
Maybe that is enough to keep me going.
Maybe try exercising with different things. Sometimes I do the exercise bike and other times I do my wife’s walking video and other times I do walking and jogging. Most of all I try to do more and more activity with the kids. They have the energy and love doing different physical things. It’s great.
Also I have been going to bed about 9pm so I can get up just fine at 5am. That helps as well.
Have you considered weight watchers to keep yourself thinking about the quantity of food you are eating as well.
Keep it up.
Your bud,
Shawn
Before it got so cold, I was jogging some with my son. Sometimes he would ride his bike for the longer runs.
I’ve heard good things about WW, but I’ve always been a little weird about it.
