#workout slump

Finding motivation is so hard. But just remember even if you get five minutes in it’s better than nothing! Try the five minute rule. Workout for five minutes and ask yourself, can I do five more? YES. Keep doing this until you hit 30-45 min total. It will fly by. Break up your workouts. Don’t do the same thing it will seem to drag on forever. And remember. YOU. GOT. THIS.

Workouts

 So I know I used be able to go hard at the gym. At my prime I was probably doing 5-6 days a week for and hour or more. I could go hard. I loved sweating.

Since then I’ve gained about 50lbs.

The gym is hard.

Running is hard.

Lunges are hard.

working out is hard.

I have lost all of the muscle I gained. So I’m back at square one for strength training. I just want to hit it hard at the gym without feeling like I’m going to pass out and/or get heartburn (yes heartburn. burpees and mountain climbers are the root cause)  I want to be able to finish a 5k on the treadmill without my boobs feeling like they're going to rip off my chest because they're so heavy. 

Does it get easier? I feel like I’m not working hard enough to make the workout count? I’m doing strength training and maybe 20 min on the treadmill walk/run. I’m trying because I hope that it can get some weight off so it’s easier to push myself.

ugh
