I posted a few days ago that I started doing 30ds after not exercising for about 3 months, basically since the wedding, due to school & work schedule. I felt so awful after such a "poor performing" day 1 that I have really been starting to make excuses/reasons as to why I can't workout.
Anyone gone through this? How do I get over it & get myself going?
Re: Motivation destroyed
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
Also try to get a running buddy or fitness class buddy. I used to run with one of my BMs once a week and part of my motivation for exercising on the days we weren't doing it together is I knew she was working in the interim and I didn't want to be totally out of it the next time we met up.
Last suggestion for when you don't have a buddy is to get a totally awesome playlist that really pumps you up and vary the songs so that you have both low and high intensity. If you can keep up a faster pace during slower songs (when you could be walking) give yourself bonus points! You could also consider listening to podcasts or books on type so you can be distracted and time goes faster.
Good luck!
