So in the back of my head I'm worried that this thing I'm doing now, this one-month-commitment thing is just going to be a repeat of what I always do. I mean in the past 10 days I've done loads of exercise (for me): walking 1,5h x 3 days, running twice, yoga twice, and I'm suppose to run again tonight, and go with the boyfriend to the pool tomorrow morning. It feels great, and I'm happy to be exercising, but my problem has always been too much too soon, I burn out and loose interest. I just find it so damn hard to pace myself, it seems to be nothing, nothing, nothing then everything at once and then I get so sick of it I don't move a muscle for 3 months.
I'm really hoping that the variety I'm getting this time will mean the boredom won't set in like it normally does. I guess the important thing is that I need to just keep moving, no matter what.
I read somewhere that it takes 6 weeks to create a new habit. Maybe that should be my primary goal, to just keep moving for 6 weeks and by then hopefully it will be part of my life, like brushing my teeth or checking the door is locked 3 times before leaving the house ;)
