It's 17:40, so it's time to report of my progress.
Today was an easy day, mostly because I didn't have to run today: the running challenge states that all I had to do was squats and calf raises. Though I don't understand the purpose, I abide.
I did all my working out fairly early during the day; at one point while searching for things to do I realized that I might as well finish those, because they aren't particularly hard. I suppose I let myself relax too much, given how lax I was on finishing the daily exercise. This is not the thinking I want to have for it - as if it's some sort of external, unwanted responsibility, when in fact, it's as close to personal responsibility as it can ever get. Gotta get serious.
I also let myself sleep in, which didn't contribute to my energy level. I found an exciting activity later in the evening (freelance unpaid worldbuilding service, a part of which I applied to be - good stuff!) and assumed that, due to all the exercise I did yesterday (which isn't much at all, but I wanted to believe otherwise), I'll sleep tighter. It wasn't the case: I went to sleep at around 23:30 and woke up at the alarm's angry voice at 5:30 with a heavy head; instead of getting up, I opted out for the comfortable bed. Again, gotta get serious: it's for myself that I'm doing this.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I keep noticing how my willingness to work grows; it's still weak, but it keeps pushing me to do stuff I know I want to or need to in order to do better. I ascribe it to be a direct result of me exercising, because it's not the first time I feel the income of motivation. Only the ingrained laziness and lack of positive concern (which moves to get things done) prevented me from acting on it in the past. Sticking to the schedule under Hubski's attention was helpful in my staying on track, for which I'm grateful to all of you who left a comment in the previous two posts.
As for the exercises themselves... Plank reaches are still not perfected, but I'm getting used to those; the last two reaches are still heavy, but they're doable without any excessive effort. Burpees are becoming the challenge that they're supposed to be, with 10 today and 15 tomorrow. I don't feel terrible doing them or afterwards, but they do strain my body, which is great. Now that I know I can do those things, even if they be challenging, I feel much better about the whole endeavor.
But let's not leap ahead of time, as only it will show what I'm really capable of. I'm confident, but not very willing. Gotta show myself why I do this; I'm sure I'll appreciate it after they're done, but for now, it's not a prized activity in my head.
Well, it's 18:00 exactly. Have a good day and stay healthy.
