I feel pretty disappointed in myself at the moment..
Last year I was swimming on a regular basis… making sure that I went at least 2-3 times a week…
I felt great, had more energy and was losing weight… then the summer came and the hours of the pool changed and then I had our wonderful and long trip to BC and the routine went out the window… when I got back form BC I made an effort to go and did for a few weeks and then we got sick and it started to get cold and since the routine was already lost I just haven’t been back…
I feel awful…. really… not just mad at myself for not going back but I have less energy and I feel like I am gaining weight…
Anyway… Tomorrow I am going back…
I am writing it here so that I feel the obligation and I told Simon to order me to go tomorrow…
I have to get back into this routine… for my own sake…
Boy oh boy do I know the feeling. Haven’t been cycling nearly as much as I should, no spinning classes since before Christmas. And I’m feeling much the same way. Hoping for warmer weather – easier to be good about being active outdoors when I don’t have to layer up and fight ice and snow.
I totally get what you’re feeling – except it was 4 years of feeling guilty but not acting for me. The knee injuries and recurring illnesses have been frustrating but after missing so many days because of that I’m all the more determined. I find the social part really important for me so being in a “class” really helps. I’m out of town all week but have arranged workouts with friends to keep me going. I’m not sure what motivates you but perhaps there’s a group you could join to keep you going?
Have fun tomorrow!
Oh Paxye! I think it’s the time of year as well. I’m feel very “soft” and out of shape. I’m making efforts to get out but walking is my main way to get some exercise.
