Mid-week Motivation

Hello, hello my lovlies!

I hope all is well with you and that you're having a fabulous week so far! It's Wednesday and we're half way through another work week! Wahoo!

Have you ever had one of those days where you were just a little bit out of sorts? Well, that's where I am today. It isn't really any one thing, it's just a series of multiple little things not going quite right to the point of frustration.

One thing that I'm frustrated about is my lack of consistency when it comes to cross training. I know that I need to and I have the desire to, I just lack the motivation. I don't get the same sense of accomplishment from cross training that I do from running. Sometimes, I don't feel challenged enough so I get bored and give up. I really need to find a way to maintain consistency. Typically, I would try a new workout to keep it fresh or buy myself a new workout outfit, but that's not even working right now. I think that I'm going to try a new group fitness class tonight to jump start me. I'm hoping that will get me out of my workout funk.

On the other hand, I think it's safe to say that I'm in the process of regaining my running mojo! I met a group of my friends at Turkey Mountain last night. We ran 3 miles on the road there followed by hill repeats. It was another relatively painless run! I'm still reluctant to day that I'm healed 100% but I'm closer than I was a day ago. :-)

And that's all I've got time for today.

Until next time--get up, get out, get moving and be awesome today!

Your friend,

Theresa

How do you stay motivated to workout?

Do you ever get bored with your workout routine? What is your current workout regimen?

  1. I'm feel you on the motivation (or lack there of), Theresa. But I'm the opposite, I love cross training but struggle to run consistently (even thought I wish I could). Hopefully the new fitness class will spark some motivation! Good luck!

    1. I'm ashamed to admit that I talked myself out of going to the class. :-(

  2. I tend to love running first and foremost, as I am injured now, again, still,whatever, I feel the need to do something! I am doing lots of yoga, strength training through HIIT type workouts that are ever changing, cycling (meh) rowing and the elliptical. I dont know where my motivation comes from but it keeps coming!

  4. I am right there with you! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who struggles to find the necessary motivation from time to time. And I love the quote! :)
