Day 44 – Week 7 – 7 mins

This is a dangerous time.

This morning, I got bored. Getting up, getting changed, going in the living room to do my arm exercises – it all felt very routine.

See – that is the problem – I want a routine, I don’t want a routine, I do want a routine – and then I suddenly get bored.

And so it is dangerous. Because this is when you can decide you’d rather be doing something else. You think you’ll give yourself a day off, you’ll just stay in bed instead, because you can’t face the routine.

I don’t know the answers – other than to do something radically different tomorrow, and to remind myself that there is only ONE thing I have to be doing right now, only ONE thing I have to commit to – and that is doing my minutes. And the rewards will come. I will feel healthier, more energetic, and more downright gorgeous if I stick to this routine!!

So tomorrow – instead of going on the bosu – I’m planning to go outside for a light jog for five mins. It will feel a bit silly going out the front door for such a short amount of time – but hey, I’ll jog down the street, pretend I’ve forgotton something, and then jog right back! No-one will wonder what that crazy woman is doing, will they? That should be my five mins, and then just need to do my couple of minutes of stretching when I get back inside.

Have just checked the weather forecast for the morning – wouldn’t you know it – it says  “a wet, windy, morning for most”. I may have to stick with the routine for just another day or two!
