September 2023 sometimes
Life changes, priorities change, things happen. It started with a record of training for a cycling holiday then morphed into a record of keeping fit and trying to have a healthier lifestyle. This year has been busy – though in truth no busier than some in the past. To say that it is busier, is nothing more than an excuse.
For the last couple of months, my weight has levelled off at a higher number than it has been for the last couple of years – and whilst I know I need to do something about it, before it levels up again, I simply cannot bring myself to do it.
I don’t know why. I keep finding all sort of excuses – yet during the peak of busy work scheduled even after the pandemic ended and life returned to some kind of normality, I managed to maintain my exercise regime and my lower weight.
So the question is – what has changed in my life or my head psychological to start putting up all these barriers that are preventing me from getting my tush off the sofa and doing those 30 minutes of exercise 4 days a week that would allow me to shift my weight down again. I thought that after 18 months of almost religious exercising, I’ve developed a strong unbreakable habit – turns out I was wrong.
Somehow, I need to find my exercise mojo back, I need to stop making excuses and commit those 30 minutes. I mean it’s 30 minutes in a day, it really isn’t such a big deal – and yet it is.
I know I need to do something about it, I just can’t bring myself to do it.
