I did not follow through on my revised commitment. This commitment is over, which is for the best, as a fresh start is in order. Tomorrow, I will decide how to move forward from here.
One thing that came to mind this morning was that I could wake up early specifically so I give myself plenty of time to do my chosen program (STs, endurance exercises (standing and walking), stretching and releasing muscles). By waking up at 6 am instead of 7 am, I will have the time to do everything and then also have my leisurely coffee and reading time before getting ready for work. I have been going to sleep early, anyhow, so I will still be able to get a good amount of sleep.
Another thing to keep in mind, the first iteration of my commitment was working really well for the 3 days I kept it up. So I may want to inspire myself with that one. That said, I may need to build in more rest time...? Like maybe 2/3 days on, 1 day off. 1 day off could coincide with shower day. Things to consider.

New Plan - Minimum Viable Habits (MVH)
STs: Squats & Abs lean backs, 2x2 reps.
Standing: 3 x 15-20s
Walking: 1 x 1-2m
Roll out quads/HFs & calves. |

Okay, 'going all in' might require scaling back the immediate commitment for the goal. Making the first steps even smaller, as per ''tiny habits''. I haven't read enough of the book to really know how to apply it, but in the meantime, I will go with what the general principle likely is: to make the habit small enough that there is no resistance to doing them. Soooo.....
STs: 2 only this week -squats & abs lean backs, 2x2 reps. (Don't worry, you'll include leg extension next week.)
Standing: 3x15-20s
Walking: 1x1-2m
Roll out quads/HFs & calves. (Just rolling out for now. Can add actual stretching back in later on.)
Think of this as the minimum viable habits (MVH), just to create the wiring. So when I increase the reps and exercises, if I just can't some days, I can fall back onto the MVHs. Be proud, Julie, because you aren't giving up, you are forging ahead with a new plan. :) |
