#getting active

To be honest, I woke up not really feeling it. I considered skipping, but tried to concentrate on how I was really feeling. My body wasn’t tired, it wasn’t that I felt like I couldn’t work out, I just didn’t wanna. Not for any particular reason, just didn’t wanna. 

So I made myself get up, get my leggings and sports bra on, and hit it.

Did I put in 100% this morning? Honest? No. There was another exercise I couldn’t do, I lost count of my reps and am pretty sure I missed a full set. But  I showed up. I did something. The alternative was what, to stay in bed and scroll through facebook or reddit? 

I don’t have to go 100% all the time. I put in... 60% this morning. And you know what? That’s fine. If I put in 100%, or 90%, or 80% often enough, slower days is going to be fine.

I am SUPER proud of this picture. Look at this. Look at all these closed rings! Had some slow days last week, but so many of those damn rings are closed. I am super proud of myself for this month so far. Just gotta keep it up!

Woke up early this morning and went for a walk before my brain caught on to what I was doing! Turned around at the 1 mile mark and followed the same route back home. It was slow and my headphones died before I even got through the first half mile 😔 but I did it!

Plans for next time:

-Charge headphones

-(eventually) get leggings with pockets!

-Maybe wear a bandana headband so my sweat doesn't run into my eyes

Now I have tons of energy and a whole day with no plans! Not gonna lie, I need to run to the bank but after that I'm not doing anything other than watching Netflix. I rarely ever get a day where I have nothing to do and no one to ask me to do anything so I'm taking full advantage of it 😉

Some good advice for getting more exercise.

It can be very difficult to get into a good exercise routine, especially when you’ve fallen into some bad habits. Its all too easy to stay in these habits and can be very hard to get into the right mindset to change them. So i have put together a short list of things that may help you to get more exercise and keep you motivated.

Start slowly –  If you…
