“Everyday…”

“Everyday…”
Making the commitment to move my body and break a sweat every day would normally be something I wouldn’t think twice about.
It’s what I do.
During the volleyball season, though, things change.
Everyday turned into a few times a week.
Then, just once a week.
Then, I went a whole week without working out.
“I don’t have time…” The classic excuse I told myself.
I’m up at 4:30am and home at 7pm most nights of the week. Home at 10pm on game days.
My days are packed with planning, teaching, coaching, and all the other million things needed to run a program, keep my family fed and the house somewhat organized.
Writing it out, I can see what these things really are.
Excuses.
Yes, this season is busy.
Yes, it’s a fact that I cannot make it to any of the normal CrossFit classes that I love.
But, I know I can find time to break a sweat.
There are 20 minutes here, 10 minutes there that I know I can reprioritize.
I have access to a full weight room at school. I’m already dressed in workout clothes (perks of being a PE teacher!). That’s half the battle right there!
I can commit to sweating everyday.
Because it’s more than just my body I’m training.
It’s my mind and my habits.
As I push through a workout, no matter how short, I remind myself that I can do hard things.
As I commit another day to moving my body and sweating, it’s less important what I do for a workout.
More important is that I am reaffirming a habit of working out daily.
Reaffirming that I am a person that commits to working her body and strengthening her mind, no matter how busy or crazy the day is.
No excuses.
