On January 10th, I unknowingly began a challenge with myself.
The previous week was REALLY rough for me. I was depressed & feeling so unmotivated to do anything. Even a simple task like doing the dishes or folding laundry seemed out of reach & daunting. I couldn’t face it. The week started coming to a close & I was able to enjoy some one-on-one time with my honey, who has been working such hard, long hours these days. I talked to him about how much I missed the gym & how I ached to feel healthy again.
On Tuesday the 10th, I cleaned in the morning, entertained & chased Hayes, ate lunch & finally got him down for his nap. This is when I get my workouts in when I’m feeling up to it. Before Hayes was even asleep, I put on my workout clothes so I would HAVE to work out. I’ve been on a serious Fitness Marshall kick lately. It’s a fitness Youtube channel that has dance routines to new hits. I made a playlist & as soon as Hayes zonked out, I danced it out! I even recorded myself dancing for one song, because I want to compare it down the road.
On Wednesday, I did the same thing. Cleaned the house, played with Hayes, ate lunch & put Hayes down for his nap. I turned on my playlist & danced my heart out.
On Thursday, I held strong & kept up the routine! Except this time, I used a Pinterest board for inspiration & found an arm & shoulders hand weight work out to do before my normal dance routine.
& so, the challenge begins! For the next 30 days, or 27 now, I will be working out for at least 30 minutes per day. My 26th birthday is on Valentine’s Day & I want to end my 25th year on a high note!
Tomorrow’s workout: Lower Body/Cardio aka lots of squats & LOTS of sweat
Let’s do this!
