Yesterday was a difficult day. I did not want to work out. Mainly because it's difficult to maintain motivation when I'm not really seeing any results at all. But then, I determined that my motivation ought to be the lack of results. If I still don't see results in another month I have a full-fledged reason to go to the doctor and find out what's wrong with me.
So, I pulled my lazy butt to the gym and punched out 500 difficult calories. About 10 minutes into my "run" my calfs and shins and feet hurt SO badly. I switched my stride and pace and it eventually went away. The last part of the work out was better but still tough. But, I felt great afterward. I actually enjoy being sweaty. I also felt more motivation to go today because yesterdays tough workout was alright in the end.
Today, it is raining! I'm so excited because it's been about a month since it rained last. Rather than wanting to curl up with a good book and hunker down I was motivated to get up and go to work. Since the rain is so rare, I always always ALWAYS would much rather sit and be still; so finding motivation to get up was unexpected. This working out thing is doing something wonderful for my mind. Maybe that's the results I need.
