Day 144 – Week 21 – 21 mins (10)

Well, I did better than my last cardio day – but still not up to the full quota. 10 minutes this morning, instead of five.

I am realising that when I feel overwhelmed with things to do, that is when I feel like I don’t have time to exercise. It’s not true of course, but in my head, that is what I’m feeling.

For the last few days I have felt that I am not on top of things, and that is immediately reflected in an increased resistance to doing the exercise. It feels like a waste of time to exercising, instead of getting on with all these millions of things I feel like I need to do. That’s not the reality of course. The reality is that I then lie in bed for an hour arguing with myself that I can’t get up and do the exercise, because I have too many things to do, and then of course, I have wasted that hour. Ridiculous.

There’s only two possible solutions to this. I either get on top of my life (which only ever happens for two or three consecutive days at the most!) or I get over thinking I have to be on top of everything to make it a ‘good day’ for exercise. And that’s not as easy as you might think…..
