While I was doing the level 3 workout today, I kept thinking about the word commitment. You see, I really didn't want to workout today. Much more than usual. I felt like there was a running list of things I had to do. Everything that I planned on doing tonight got thrown off, and I didn't end up doing any of it. At 11:30, I could stay up, finish those things, go straight to bed, or workout. I chose the one thing that I really didn't want to do: workout. My thinking was if I can get this one thing down and right, it will make me feel better. Commitment begets commitment in other realms. If I can get this one thing down every day, then it is like my anchor, even when the waters are turbulent.
I finished the workout and I do feel better. The workout wasn't easy though. I don't think there's been a single day where I have felt those scissor ab moves were even remotely easy. My abs were a little sore from yesterday, so I had to take it a bit easier on some of those moves. In the end though, I'm glad I worked out. I can get a good night's sleep and be efficient tomorrow.
I am so glad to hear that you mustered up enough energy to knock it out. It is hard to keep doing this every day, especially when you don't have a ton of recovery time.
ReplyDeleteMy walks used to be my anchor, but not so much anymore. I am feeling out of touch with just about everything right now, and need to find a way to ground myself again. The daily drama doldrums of work are starting to get to me.
