Well…. How is everyone doing with the exercise thing?

I had my therapy assessment the other day and one of the things we discussed was my lack of motivation/loss of confidence with exercise….

I’m thinking about restarting couch to 5k. But it’s like I’m resisting myself somehow…. I’ll see what happens tomorrow. I heard about people sleeping in their running gear but that sounds kind of sweaty.

I suck at exercising. I'm trying to do everything just by eating less and better, and taking vitamins until I can get to a point where I can work out.

I finally opened a box of oatmeal I've been stareing at for awhile. I really don't have too much unhealthy food anymore besides some stuff in my freezer.

I slept in my work clothes one time when I was worried about oversleeping. I took a shower the night before and got in my work clothes and then I woke up 5 minutes before I had to leave and I just brushed my teeth and put on my shoes and jacket and I was good to go

Yes, I’ve been doing better with my intake too. That’s got to be positive.

I haven’t exercised in over 6 months (other than walking) and think I’ve lost a lot of muscle tone. I started couch to 5k yesterday, in the past when I’ve done it I’ve always started further in the program because my base fitness was reasonable but this time I started from the very beginning thinking of it was easy I could skip ahead a few weeks - nope! It was quite challenging, in that my legs just felt tired, and this was just 60 second long runs so nothing really. It’s 9 weeks to complete the program.
