The past two days Iāve been short on steps and didnāt hit my 10K goal. That saidāI did not miss HIIT or strength.
- Wednesday: Up at 6am for HIIT. Felt like I gave it my all⦠my heart monitor said otherwise š
still showed up.
- Today: Alarm set for 5am to make a 6am lift. The cold weather won this round š„¶ Snoozed and went back to sleep.BUTāI still went at 12:30pm.
Gym was busy, benches were taken, so I adapted and used equipment for chest incline press and supine press. It wasnāt hardāit was challenging. Big difference. Learning to adapt instead of quitting.
Iāll be realāthe blue bug hit my emotions today and I felt that urrrgghhh feeling. Motivation was low. Steps were low. Energy was meh.
But I still showed up and executed what I needed to do.
Putting this out there for anyone else feeling unmotivated todayāyouāre not alone. You donāt need perfect days. You just need to show up anyway.
š Question for yāall: when motivation is low, what helps you still get it doneāroutine, accountability, or just stubborn grit?
