exercise regularly

I did some exercise on Sunday, completing three parts of one of my DVDs, and I did about 20 minutes yesterday.

I got a few new DVDs recently.

I did a stretching portion on Monday, and felt a bit sore later in the day Tuesday and my knee felt a bit funny, which I’m not sure was a good sign considering this particular DVD was for healthy knees! :)

Yesterday I tried one of the other DVDs that contains two workouts. I did most of workout 1, and generally felt good about it. Earlier that day, I was thinking about how my balance didn’t seem as good anymore and some of the exercises worked on that.

I am not feeling as strong these days.

I took a break today but will do some exercising tomorrow.

This has been on my mind a lot lately yet I still haven’t gotten back into it yet. This week, I will make the effort and set time aside to exercise. I want to be stronger.

I have been thinking about what motivates me to want to exercise. I know that it is healthy. I know that it is good for me. This is the logical reason. But I also want to feel stronger. I don’t think this is something I consciously think about when I’m actually exercising but I do know that it is something I want. To build strength, regain some of what maybe used to be better but isn’t as much anymore, and just feel stronger. And I want to look nice, too.

I really should try to take up some form of dancing again at some point, because I kind of miss it and it’s an interest.

Exercised tonight after almost a month. It’s not always easy to get back into but I’m glad I did it.

I feel bad. I have not officially exercised in almost a month. The first week I was sick, the second I was still not my best and it was also that time of the month… and then I was just tired. I have been preoccupied with things at work and at home and time has felt more limited. Recently, I walked up almost 100 stairs instead of taking the escalator and felt good about that but I really need to get back into this.

I really don’t want to fall out of the routine I was building and break the good habits that were developing.

I was sick last week and did not end up doing the exercise sessions. This week I am better though still not 100% and tired as it has been especially busy. I am still conscious of trying to make time to exercise, but time is already so limited lately. It is also a certain time of the month, so everything altogether has made it difficult to get back into the rhythm. Even though it is a bit late in the week, I will try to do some exercise on Friday.

I don’t want to lose momentum but as of Sunday, I didn’t feel quite right and have been unfortunately fighting something since, so what I am thinking about these days is getting extra rest. At some point today, I still thought about the possibility of getting some exercise in later but I really don’t feel it would be best with how I am feeling. I hope I can pick up again soon.

I did some exercise this past Tuesday, and got some additional walking in twice this week – Wednesday and Friday, I think. I found myself having a bit of a tougher time with the exercise Tuesday. Maybe I was more tired. I would have liked to do some today but my stomach was a little bit off and I’m quite tired again. Hopefully it will be a bit better this next week.

Despite being very tired this week, I still made time to exercise twice, on Monday and Wednesday. I feel really good about that!
