When I left Telluride Colorado in January of last year, I was in the best shape of my life!
Hiking, skiing, running, no fast food, altitude, healthy cooking with my brother. It wasn’t even a plan or something I was working towards, it just happened.
Since being in Los Angeles, I’ve put on the pounds- but worse than that I have completely gotten out of that amazing shape I was in. I have started and stopped so many different work out plans, it makes my head spin thinking about it. Cardio Barre! Hiking! Running! Couch to 5K! Yoga… the list goes on and on- and they all lasted about 3 times. 3 amazing trips to cardio barre loving every second, 3 runs feeling amazing after, 3 mornings of waking up to do yoga… so on and so forth.
It’s something I want, but for some reason, nothing is sticking! I think it has something to do with the fact that I have to do it all alone, and in Telluride or Raleigh I would always have a partner or 20 who wanted to hike up that mountain, run that river trail, or take some turns in some freshy pow. I just get tired of doing it alone, and can’t keep the motivation level up.
I need to change my outlook. I need to realize that I’m the only one responsible for this portion of my life and how much happier I’ll be and better I’ll feel if I can just get my lazy butt off the couch and do it!
Does anyone have any suggestions or things they do to motivate themselves that really work? I’m feeling oh so much like this lately :
