Day 134 – Week 20 – 20 mins

I’m actually getting a little bit scared by the numbers now. Twenty minutes is beginning to feel like quite a lot. When it was three minutes, it might have seemed a bit silly, but it was easy. I could easily convince myself to get out of bed and do three minutes. But 20? Twenty is starting to feel like a big number, and it’s just going to get bigger.

I was hoping to be addicted by now, but I’m not. I was hoping I’d have that endorphin rush that people talk about when they love exercise, but I haven’t. All I have is grim determination and a promise to myself to see it out, no matter what.

I mean, it’s not like it is a difficult thing to do physically – I’m not lifting ginormous weights, I’m not running a marathon – yet every day, there’s something in my mind that makes me not want to do it, no matter how good it is for me. It really, truly is only that stubborn anti-exercise particle in our brains that stops us – and I’m fighting that bugger every single day!

Jogged today – and actually enjoyed it, once I’d got myself out there…now, I just have to convince myself of that 231 more times, and I’ve nailed it!
