Day 195 – Week 28 – 28 mins
Who hoo! A full 28 minutes today.
Actually, I never really have a problem doing the full amount when it’s a day when I can go for a jog. That surprises me, because in general, the idea of jogging is not something I am particularly attracted to.
BUT, at least once I’m out there, I do the full amount. I guess once you’ve run a certain distance from home, there’s not much you can do except run back. It’s not as if I’m going to get the bus home.
So, I’d like to say I’m back on track, but I doubt that is the case. I am though, quite proud of that fact I haven’t drifted too far off the path…

Day 194 – Week 28 – 28 mins (15)
There’s definitely a whole lot of resistance going on here…
Despite the fact I had all the time in the world today, it was a huge effort to get myself dressed and ready for some stretching and strengthening. I managed 15 minutes before I just couldn’t bring myself to do anymore.
So – what’s going on? It’s not physical – I’m not feeling weak or tired – it’s psychological. My brain is doing everything it can to sabotage my efforts so far. I feel overwhelmed by it all, especially the thought that I will have to almost double my efforts before the year is out.
And this is something that I suspect happens to most of us regularly, and this is why we just stop and give up, sometimes for months or years at a time. Why is it that our brain, and not our bodies, stops us from looking after our bodies the way we should?
I have no answers. All I know how to do, is to keep doing a little something every day, until the enthusiasm returns, and I can make another leap forward.
