It's been forever..
Happy Tuesday! Gosh it feels like it has been forever since I have been on here, even though it's only been two weeks (which is still "two" long!!). I have been busy and honestly lacking motivation for just about everything the last couple weeks. I am almost done with school for this year, and am itching to be! Although I am tempted to slack off until then, I know that it's not over yet, and I need to keep doing my best!
Since the marathon (these last two weeks), I have not been lifting heavy quite as much, and doing some lighter workouts. I have been running at least once a week (short, baby runs!), as it is something I want to keep doing. And in all honesty, my nutrition has not been on point. Between cravings, running late, and overall laziness, I have not eaten as many veggies, as much whole food, or even as much protein as I aim too.
I have been overwhelmed with my to-do list, and you know how I respond? I shut down. I hide and do absolutely nothing. What a great way to get things done!
However, since I know this about myself, I have learned to work around it. Instead of listing all the things I must do right now, I write down the top 1-3 things that are the highest priority. And I work on those. And slowly but surely, things get done!
When I am really lacking any motivation to get anything done, I tell myself I only have to work on that project for 10-20 minutes. This is a gentle way of getting myself to start doing what I need to be doing. Knowing I don't have to tackle it all at once helps me take that first step- which is always the hardest. And once I start, I usually WANT to keep going!! How crazy is that!
Oh, and when it comes to getting back into good habits? The same way you formed them: slowly. Slow, baby, steady, consistent steps will get you where you wanna go. By slowly making small changes, or small adjustments, you have about a bazillion percent better chance of succeeding!
This is just a shortie post, just to help me get back in the habit of this:)
