Struggling to workout? This works every time
My son just wrestled in a travel tournament this past weekend.
It’s been a long weekend away, but I made it home without pulling all my hair out.
Weekends like this used to drive me crazy and exhaust me to all ends.
Managing the kids, all the driving, the schedules, the hotel craziness, and somewhere in there remembering to feed myself while I was at it.
When you spend 6 months doing this on repeat, I’d come to the end of the season and step on the scale and think to myself, “Holy crow, what just happened?”
It was like I didn’t know where that 15lbs came from, but I felt every ounce of it.
It showed up in how tired I felt all the time, how disruptive my sleep was, my day to day energy, and just generally how much like garbage I felt.
But yet I knew every single thing I did (or didn’t do) for the last 6 months that contributed to that and landed me in that tough spot.
So, I’d spend the next 4 months trying to undo it all, and off into that cycle I’d go.
Rinse and repeat, year after year.
While your story might differ by number of kids or type of sports, I know you find yourself in the same kind of cycle.
Giving your time to everyone else around you for very long periods of time.
Doing anything and everything you can to stay afloat while the time passes.
Until one day you decide to take stock of where you’re at.
And then you make a conscious decision to make a change.
Until the time catches back up and you’re right back into the cycle again.
If you want to break this cycle, you really need 3 things to help you get through it.
- A plan, so you don’t need one more thing to think about.
- An easy way to schedule it in, so it’s not another stressor in your life.
- A coach, so you aren’t trying to figure it out alone.
If you’re in that cycle right now, all it takes is a conversation to break it.
I often say that if you come through my front doors, you’ve done all you need to and I’ll take it from here.
I’m ready when you are.
Everything has a solution, and no, you aren’t expected to know what it is.
That’s what I’m here for. 🙂
