Hello! Thankfully I am just now feeling better and getting to all the things that haven't been done in the last couple days! The stomach flu is not fun and takes everything out of you I swear. Good thing I have 5 days off to play catch up.
I did Days 5, 6,7,8 and 9 today to try and catch up.
Day 5: 5 Steps to Developing discipline- I will admit that I have discipline in certain areas of my life but only if they involve fun haha! Since my big goal is to run a mile in 21 days I have to make sure I stick with it.
My reasons why I want to stick with it:
*To show myself that I don't hate running!
*So my body will feel better
*To show myself that I CAN!
*To feel strong
*To have more energy
Likely Obstacles:
*Cold Weather
*Pain
*Busy life
How to develop new behaviors so that these obstacles won't get in my way:
*Run 3-4 times a week, even if it half a mile and inside
*If I am in pain I will stretch and do some jumping jacks and walking
*I can get very busy but I always have time for TV (one of my bad habits), take 15 minutes from something I am watching and run up and down the stairs or run in place in front of the TV.
Day 6: Be Realistic- I have been being realistic from the start, running a mile in 21 days is pretty realistic for me. If I had said 2 that would be a far reach for me!
Day 7: Resist Negative Thought Patterns-Instead of saying I can't I will just get up and Do It!
Day 8: Put Your Goals on Paper- I admit it, I am a post it freak! I like everything written down so this is perfect!
Day 9: Break Your Goals Into Bite Sized Pieces-I am going to write down on the calendar the days I will work out and where I want to be. That doesn't mean I will meet those exactly but I am ok with that and know that it will at least be a step in the right direction!
I plan on running this afternoon when it is a little warmer! I am also trying to get back on a flylady schedule to get my house clean and ready to put on the market in a couple months. Does anyone have any advice??
