How much are you moving so far this year and is it the kind of movement you wanted for 2015?
Were almost 2 weeks in to the year, Christmas and New Year is fading into the past and the usual work / home / life routines are most likely back up and running. How much of what you're doing is what you promised yourself you'd be doing this January, and this year?
If you needed to be outside more are you doing that (I know, the weather's been tough, but weather's weather!). Did you want more aerobic movement? Did you promise yourself you'd stretch regularly, add in strength, or increase your daily steps?
Why Does this Matter?
If you're not monitoring it now then what you wanted for yourself can easily slip into next week, then the week after and then it's new year 2016 and the same promise is coming around again.... When life takes over again it can feel more difficult to action the changes that we need to make for ourself. Habits and routines are ingrained and breaking them is the difficult bit. But once we break the NEGATIVE intertia then a POSITIVE momentum takes over and it becomes easier and easier and then it becomes a new more positive habit. Checking in now means you're still working on it and still able to tap into some of that new year motivation.
What am I doing?
Well, I wanted to run more often and felt that 3 runs a week was probably about right (mainly I just wanted to run more than I had in 2014). So far I've done one half hour run this year! It's been tough weather-wise and I'm finding running tougher than going to the gym or getting on my turbo for a bit, or even heading down to glentress. I've just come out of the gym where I ran for 15 minutes on the treadmill. It's 15 minutes more than I otherwise would have done, I'm really pleased to still be actioning my goal
