100 things, fitness (#62)

[labelleizzy]

The reason why I am not writing much about fitness recently, is that it has come to just feel normal, an expected part of my routine that feels good to do, not so much something remarkable and distinctly memorable.

 

I guess that's a good thing. I hope I can maintain this habit. I really like feeling strong, competent and flexible. I like not hurting, and everyday tasks becoming easier. Even getting out of bed is easier, for two reasons: I'm sleeping better most nights, and honestly I just have more core strength.

 

the toughest part of the whole endeavor is that Jeff and I have different fitness habits. I feel Feelings about leaving him at home to go to the gym and work out, even though it feels good and I enjoy it, and it's helping me work towards my goals?

 

Guess the closest I can come to describing how it feels is: Divided Loyalties. Harrumph.

 

well, OK. It helps to put down here what I've been feeling, and I hope that now I can make a more conscious decision to take care of myself in the way that I need.

 

...still feeling some feelings about this.

 

but goodnight for now, livejournalists!

Replying because I totally understand the Divided Loyalties thing. When I was unattached, I worked out or ran every day. Now, I'm lucky to get 3 days a week in. On one hand, I would be happier if I could work out every day. On the other hand, I want to spend time with my SO. *sigh*

I actually got the best of both worlds last night. Because I was willing to forego my dance class to go hang out (and dream about the future) at the New House (new house!) I convinced Jeff to come to the gym with me afterwards, and this morning I am pleasantly sore. Yay!

He is still asleep.
