||Day Ninety-Two||
Today I decided to make a change.
Or rather, to make progress.
Or rather, to make progress.
I woke up this morning feeling blue. I was feeling down on myself, uninspired, and unmotivated.
But, with the help of my amazing boyfriend, I was able to find the ambition to do something about it.
I had missed a few days of my Blogilates workouts -- I was feeling self conscious about doing them in my apartment (since I live above people and was afraid they could hear the sound of burpees and mountain climbers), I was becoming discouraged at not SEEING results (which is probably everyone's downfall), and I was occasionally having trouble persevering through the workouts, sometimes just feeling too run down and out of breath to keep going. It was just overall turning into a situation in which I was hurting myself, and my esteem, instead of building it. So I took a day off, and then another, and then another, and maybe even another, I honestly lost track. Feeling like I had "quit" started to get to me too, though. It was a vicious cycle that I think is what eventually lead me to just feeling glum.
I feel like I sound like a broken record, but the point is that I completed my workouts for the day and felt a million times better afterwards. It's going to be difficult, and I'm going to have bad days, but I just want to at least motivate myself to complete two or three videos a day. If I do that, then I know that I at least tried. I also went out to the store today and bought TONS of healthy groceries, which always makes me feel better. I think I just needed some time to get back into the routine of being at my apartment, working, and eventually, school.

After finally breaking out of my blue-mood, I decided to spend the rest of the day doing things that make me feel good. I took my dog for a car ride (which she loves), watched "Boy Meets World", lounged, internet-ed, and then ended the day with a walk around my apartments with my dog and roommate. "Roomie walks" as we call them, are a tradition that we (and our other roommate) started doing last year. It was the perfect way to clear your mind after a stressful day/week, as well as bring us together even more. It's the things like this that make me excited for school to start.
