I'm one week in to my latest effort at exercising and building a better sleep routine/pattern. I finally just decided that if I was going to be working so many closing shifts and not getting home until 10pm that I would go ahead and go running/walking at that time on a daily basis because it certainly couldn't make my sleep pattern any worse. I haven't gotten to where I am actually daily yet. That's okay because I know my body needs to work into that. I need some breaks at this point. It has felt good, but I have a long ways to go before I get to where I once was. That once was was way back in eighth grade. I've even gone back to running at the elementary school where I was running way back then. I had a lot of success with that routine. It really worked for me and I've thought of going back to it off and on. I have attempted it halfheartedly now and then, but this time I decided it needed to be wholehearted. So far, I'm sticking with it and I can feel very small improvements in how I feel and in my ability to run. Now, on to week two.
I'm grateful that I can receive motivation from previous successes. I've done this before, I can do it now. No excuses!
