“It’s easy to say you’re turning the page, but it’s much harder to control the negative thoughts that want to drift back into your mind. Like everything else, it’s a skill—one that we practice every day.” (Ben Bergeron, Chasing Excellence)
It was all going so well the start of the year. I was more consistent than I had been in years: 3 workouts a week, progressive overload, etc. just really on track.
May hit. Started going to open houses. Found one we loved. Somehow it’s July now. Have done maybe one workout with weights in that time. And then basketball a handful of times. But that’s about it.
Time to get back on the rails now. All the house stuff is done. Well at least the admin is, clearly not the unpacking as the photo shows.
So I’m going to just try to turn the page.
As Ben Bergeron writes, it’s easy to say I’ll turn the page. Hard to keep that page turned. Negative thoughts and all that.
But I’ll try. A kettlebell workout here. 15 minute rides there. Sometimes throw the ruck on when I walk Bubs.
Gotta remember it’s like savings rate with personal finance. Just gotta always try to stay above baseline. Some days will be better than others.
Working out in this garage without the rack setup makes me nostalgic for, well, when we first moved into our last house. For a while I think I just had 1 or 2 horse stall mats. I had one out on the patio and one in the garage. Did the very aesthetic workout with a glass of iced coffee on the patio.
Anyway it’s 4 years since then.
I feel the same physically, I think? I know I’ll have less time. But I’ll make the most of it.
Keep the page turned.
