Get Up and Go Again

Yesterday was...

DAY 45!!!

My energy level was the lowest in weeks, due to several nights lately of staying up too late and several days of not bothering to eat or eat well. When I skip meals or don't eat real food, I tend to fill up the gap with caffeine and sugar, which, I did.

Last night I got home at 11:00 PM and still needed to work out. I sure didn't feel like it.

I motivated myself by thinking I would at least work out, even if not putting any real energy into it - I would "go through the motions." Rowing sounded like too much of a challenge so I headed outside for a 10 minute walk. I didn't care about *brisk* this time.

I use a little timer set to 5 minutes, walk until it goes off, re-set it and turn around and walk back.

I had returned and completed one stretch when my roommate got home and withdrew for the night. I used that as an excuse to quit and watched TV until falling asleep.

Workout of the day:

1 10-minute stroll
1 Samson Stretch

Better than nothing, I thought.

Then, I got up this morning, spent the whole morning on my top priority (even above fitness) which is spiritual time, and headed to work without working out. Again.

I was feeling *not so hot* about all this, when I opened my email and found this from Sarena, my fellow CrossFit grandma:



Yes, I cried.

What do you think?

Does this have anything to do with me? Does it have anything to do with you?

I would love to hear from you, those who are grandmas and those who are not.

Anyone who has ever been tempted not to try is a hero when they get up and go again.
