I'm not sure where it went, or where I found it, but my motivation is back. Maybe its the fact that Mexico is fast approaching. Maybe its that I realized how good it feels to be sore after a hard workout. Maybe it was the awesome Blazer game 4 win! I don't know, but it's back and I'm running with it. Well not literally running, I kind of hate running (don't remind me that I'm running Hood to Coast this summer!)
I got up early this morning and went to an EKG class at 6:00, got an early start at work and am feeling great! My plan is to head to 24 this evening and begin practicing and putting together 1 of my several 1 hour rides.
I was also coming off a high from this weekend. I had a great workout, which made me realize that I have a lot to gain in terms of getting in better shape. I also had a great soccer game in which I channeled the energy from the Blazers, as they won game 4!!! I am taking that energy with me in to this week and I am going to need it. Work is crazy busy, my final for Global Management is due by Sunday, I need to get in several quality workouts and then there is the rest of my life as well.
The lesson learned here is that motivation comes and goes. Will power can be strong however there are days when that _____ (fill in the blank) is worth more than fitting in to your pants at the very moment. I gave in to a lot of those moments and am now playing catch up. We all lose our motivation, who knows where it goes to. Its not easy to get back in to the swing of things, but sometimes an extra hard workout, a sporting victory (in my case Blazers and my soccer team) or just that extra bit of energy you happen to wake up with, is all you need to get your motivation back.
So for those of your out there struggling with motivation, try to find that one thing that will bring it back. Its different for every person, and even for one person, like me, it isn't always the same thing that motivates me each day. Have a great day!! GO BLAZERS!!
