Helen, YES! AND I don't even have a job or kids to take up any of my time!
Yesterday I didn't workout but cleaned the kitchen, baked oatmeal cookies and worked on workout card organization instead, so I was determined to not to skip working out today but I have a tension jaw/headache and can't get warmed up. We were finally able to walk just under 3 miles this morning (29 degrees with real feel of 20!) and I suspect I'm just cold bc I didn't change out of my sweaty shirt when we got home. But I also stayed up too late last night and feel like a cozy nap instead of anything else! I have been all over the place trying to fit in too many challenges and just feeling overwhelmed by my inability to prioritize. We are hoping to take our snowshoeing trip this year that we missed the last two so I decided today I need to sit down and set up a program focused on preparing for that, which means lots of lower body focus. It's been so cold a lot of this winter so far with not a ton of snow where I am, so I'm sure I've even lost some of my regular walk endurance. When Cyric and I did 3 miles in the snow at the state park the other day I was pretty beat by the time we got back to the car. Not beat like I couldn't do more but like I needed a break first! Between the super cold actual temps and then the brutal winds, our walks have been hindered. It was so nice to get that longer walk in this morning! So my hope is to have a better more focused workout schedule to start on Monday.

Not sure WHY I'm not hitting the gym - but could be any/all of the following:
• heat/humidity - the latter especially, I'm constantly sticky! • end of holidays so rebelling and want to STOP • DH is home, so reluctant to go & do something alone • too many other things to do that feel like higher priorities than me So Thu-Sat - dog walks mostly 90-120min. Last night, it until 7pm and she still didn't last long - just too muggy. Humidity hasn't been under 70% for SO long. Looking up the numbers, apparently anything over 50% at 65F (18C) or higher is considered uncomfortably high. So 70-80%+, and pushing 90F - yeah.....
