I know recently back last month I was staring to give into my urge to skip going to the gym. I know I shouldn't because I have seen the benefits of going. Such as I now have less lows in general except for at night that is a constant battle. I also have noticed that I tend to have less upward arrows and less downward arrows on my CGM which is great. I also have noticed that I am less stressed and I tend to notice my lows sooner as well. I don't feel my lows but I at time notice changes when I am exercise which are at least a clue that something is off. I know it has been almost a year of working out at the gym. I know I was feeling really bored and not motivates as I have been. I know that I no longer have as many issues with waking up in the mornings and overall I have had less scary events so I know I need to continue to keep working out.
I know after my recent sky diving experience I am all of a sudden back to working out with a renewed vigor. I know I really loved my experience but that first Monday after my jump I was working out at a much faster pace and I have continued to do so continually. I guess it really was time time for an adrenaline rush. I know that after I have been pushing myself to do more and try new things which has given me the incentive to keep on going. I know I have been working out at least 5 days a week sometimes more which is great. I was going down to three or four days a week for a while and I know I needed to be doing at least five days a week. I tend to keep things a little more regulated if I work out more often.
I know I really enjoy less lows and also less need for assistance with lows but keeping up with the workout at times can be challenging. Most of the time I am very disciplined about keeping up with my workouts but when I get sick that always seems to throw me off track. Thankfully Duchess helps me in ways I never expected. Normally she is one who love a routine such as going to the gym because she is used to going on a regular basis. I have to say I also feel much better when I do get the workout done.

Motivation is my big exercise problem too. I'm glad that your sky diving adventure helped to kick start your motivation!!
ReplyDeleteIt can be difficult working a long day, an hour commute and then having to go to the gym. Thankfully I got some motivation to get back to my normal routine. I was really getting so used to making up excuses such as I am tired etc. I think all of us struggle with this to an extent.
