Laziness

Okay, so my big plan for revamping is going much slower than I intended (perhaps even backwards). I seem to be lacking some inner motivation to complete the things I really want. I know I want them but I can't make myself do them. I want to get back to working out 5-6 days a week. I want to be riding to working 2-3 days a week. I want, I want, I want. I just can't seem to do. My usual excuse is it's cold, rainy, I feel like I'm getting sick. I have to just snap out of it. I made a small bit of progress yesterday.

Yesterday was a gorgeous. Sunny, a little breezy, a gorgeous February day. I went on a 2 mile walk with mom in the morning. I rode my bike to my hair appt (8 miles round trip). Yes, this is the first time I've ridden outside since November 29th. It was more painful than I'd like to admit. I've used my trainer a couple times but it's not the same. After my appt, I washed my Rav4 and mom's truck.

This isn't much compared to where I was 6 months ago but it's a step back in the right direction and I'm pleased.

I've also come to realize that I need a new mattress. Every morning I wake up hurting, stiff, sore. Considering I have been doing nothing, it's not right. I bought my mattress less than 3 years ago and I LOVED it when I first had it. It's a rather expensive futon style mattress which now has a giant canyon in the middle that my cat loves. So now I must hunt. The best mattress I have ever slept on was at the Marriott in Arlington. Wow - I could lay in that all day. With a $1300 price tag, I probably would! I am hoping once I find the right mattress, it will help in my motivation to wake up early for workouts.
