My exercise this week consisted of personal training for 30 mins last night. I didn't want to go. We had had to cancel on Tuesday night because the trainer was working. He had suggested Wednesday night instead but I just couldn't face training - I felt lousy not doing anything and am wondering if maybe the lack of exercise is partly to blame for my low mood.
Anyway, last night I got home from work, fiddled around for a while and then we went. I really enjoyed it. I felt like I was accomplishing something. I felt like I had achieved something for the day. I know it isn't a lot given what I was doing most days, but in the scope of where I am right now, it was great.
After that we went back home and I had a client booked in for a massage. Well, by the time A got home at about 9.30, I was feeling so much better. I had spent the time between my client and A arriving home crocheting for the homeless / under privilege / less fortunate than I am, and that always makes me feel good - being able to do something for someone else.
Stacey-Lee, I hope you enjoy hosting the Team Friday linky !
Have the best Friday ever !

Do you find it useful to have a personal trainer? I've been thinking about it... Maybe that will help with my lack of motivation for exercising...
ReplyDeleteHaving a personal trainer has definitely helped me - he is great. Pushes me when he knows I need to be pushed but understanding when I get to the point when I can't do more of a particular exercise. It helps knowing that he has planned to train us two nights a week - not so easy to get out of !!!!
DeleteHave a great weekend !

That sounds like such a great night. I would prefer to be receiving the massage though!
ReplyDeleteI must remember this linky and join in. I have been a tad feral in my mood too and I haven't run for a week as I have been a bit rough with a cough/ cold. Looking forward to a 8km run on Sunday. x
Oh no Lee - hope you feel better soon !!! I got a phone call yesterday about my orthotics so am going to get them on Tuesday - then will be hitting the road again.
DeleteGood luck for your run tomorrow - hope you have good weather - wind is dreadful here today.
Take care !

I can relate to the 'don't wanna go' feeling. I feel so much better for exercising yet have failed to do so, for such a long time now. I was attending twice weekly hour long group sessions with a pt and loved it. Life got in the way and then the excuses crept in and I haven't been back. Time to just get on with it and get back there!
ReplyDeleteYou are right Stacey-Lee - sometimes you just have to get on with it !!! I get my orthorics on Tuesday so hoping to get back running after that.
DeleteGood luck and have a great weekend !

Good on you for reaching out to others and showing us that it's a real mood-lifter. I really DID NOT want to go to my PT this week, but go I went... that's the great thing about paying for the PT, I will always go whether I want to our not.
ReplyDeleteThanks Seana. You are right - sometimes it is just knowing that I have committed my time (and his time) that makes me get out there !! The best thing is that, even if I come home sore, I am always glad that I went !
DeleteHave the best week.
