How do you get mental toughness? Today I had my scheduled 3 miles and to be honest I'm not a heat person and with this heatwave I just am not looking forward to my runs. I'm running on a treadmill, but the air in our house just seems blah; I feel blah all day because of the heat; I'm not excited about my runs ... and then when the time comes - I just go through the motions. When it gets tough, I give up and walk. WHY?! I try to talk myself out of walking, but the devil always prevails when I'm running.
Tomorrow is my weigh in day. I'm nervous, because while I made decent food decisions this week, it was a holiday week. And I tend to eat things and not even realize it. Oops! However, my husband and I did play tennis for an hour on the 4th of July. The heat index was 110*!!! We were dripping sweat, but it was sooo much fun! I love doing cross training things like that instead of the elliptical or circuits. Nothing wrong with those things, but its so much fun to do things that I don't do everyday. I feel blessed to have a husband who would play tennis with me on such a hot day just because I suggested it.
I have 30 minutes of circuit training tomorrow, but my husband will be working so it will probably be the elliptical again ... could be worse!
Cheers!
