I just backslid into something I'd PROMISED myself I wouldn't do. Feel a bit shitty right now.

What's something you've been hacking away at but have been having difficulty sticking to?

Exercising regularly. It's good for me and I feel better when I get regular exercise, but I don't enjoy it at the time. :(

Same

God do I HATE exercise.

I'm so self-conscious and I've been told I run funny.

And it makes me feel so fat -- I hate the jarring impact of my feet hitting the ground and the way everything jiggles (and I'm not even overweight anymore).

Right???

And also like... there's literally no place I could even conceivably go to run that wouldn't be full of far, far, FAR more fit and intimidatingly good-looking and intense people also exercising and i can't deal with that

What I HATE is when people suggest swimming as an alternative.

Yeah...I really want to be exercising in front of others wearing ever LESS clothes.

Not to mention the unholy amount of grooming I'd have to do because a bird could fucking build a nest in my bush.

DA

Bodyweight exercises are great and you can do them right at home with no equipment.

DA

What do you mean specifically by bodyweight exercises?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodyweight_exercise

You won't get bulk without added weights but they're great for toning or losing fat.

http://i.imgur.com/4LeMVAW.jpg This kind of thing. Note: use as reference/example for types of exercises only, I am not advocating the routine described here

Yeah, but I always feel like I'm doing them wrong and people warn you that if you do, you could injure yourself :/

It's one of the things that really worries me about weights/lifting/bodyweight exercises to be honest.

I'm still doing it, but sometimes I hate it.

If I had a nice park right next to my house that I could walk through with headphones on, I would love it. (Parks are great, I love being out amongst pretty flowers and trees and getting to listen to some fun music and walk, but the best parks are 30, 40 minutes away from me.)

Working out at home gets tiresome, especially since some days I get up at 5 AM to work out before showering. Getting up that early is bad enough, but working out right after waking up? Ughhhhhhhhh.

RP. I lost my mojo a few months ago and have been struggling to get it back ever since.

Don't beat yourself up, OP. You can get back to sticking to what you were trying to change. One blip isn't the end of the world.

Problem is, I backslid on TWO things and they're kind of inversely related to one another.

I backslid on something important and freaked out so I did something that I'd PROMISED myself I'd stop doing to try and compensate.

So it's like a double whammy....:/

Well look, if you're so determined and focused on beating yourself up you'll never get back on the wagon. Your choicce really.

True.

Sometimes though...I do wonder if getting back on the wagon is a good idea. It's important to me but sometimes I wonder if it's TOO important because no one but me is ever gonna notice or care.

Not self harming.

I have stopped doing the obvious stuff, I don't cut any more, but it's been replaced by the far more harmful, and far less noticeable stuff.

"backsliding/backslid"

...you sound Christian*

You know you can repent, and ask for strength to try better in the future, right?

If you are not using those terms in a Christian context (or a very very very specific Christian context), I'm not sure what to tell you, OP Take hope in the fact that tomorrow is another day?

*(I almost said "you sound adventist" but holy projection, Batman)

Writing. I promised myself between 500 and 1500 words a day, which isn't a lot but I have health issues that means that is a good start. And I've had to bail twice in two weeks due to health and tiredness. No feedback hasn't helped either since neither ao3 or ff.net has a section for radio show fandoms and nobody reads livjournal any more.

Trying for the last six months to get my sleeping patterns in order. Unfortunately with summer coming up it's definitely not going to happen -- my sleep schedule gets completely trashed in hot weather simply 'cuz it's too hot to sleep.

Exercise (it's cold and wet)

I've been tempted to contact the person I cut contact with which is no no no no bad idea cut them out of my life for a reason. Let them go me.

I diet that is bread and potatoey and more green veggie-like. Also my sweets reduction has kind of taken a hit of late. Sucks, because I JUST got told how well I was doing with my blood sugar and then I went off the rails.

Jesus.

"A diet that is less..."

(SA BTW)

I got some bad news a few weeks ago and ended up falling into a depression and stopped taking care of myself again. I'd just started trying to take better care of myself a month ago, and now it all got shot to hell. I'm trying to shake myself out of this pattern, but it's hard because I've been stuck in these really down lows for a few years.

I've been backsliding on my job search to be honest. I had a really good couple of weeks where I was applying for multiple jobs a day and now for the last four days I haven't done anything. Mostly because of lack of immediate results. I hope this three day weekend gets me back into the swing of things come Tuesday.
