ᕦ(ò_óˇ) Day 11 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens

Went to sleep around 2AM and woke up at 9AM. I went with my phone on low battery into bed. I know it's not a good habit and I didn't do it for the last 5 days or something but I really wanted to watch something for a few minutes before sleeping for some reason. And it was indeed just a few minutes (like a compromise I did with myself). Also, my phone was dying anyway. I thought I would get up and plug it in before I start to sleep but I didn't.

Fortunately, my circadian rhythms seems to already be strong enough such that I wake up at 9AM without an alarm anyway.

I then went for a run but I noticed within 5 minutes that my legs are exploding, lol. Felt soreness at spots I don't feel sore usually (at the shinbone for example). Took this as a sign I should take it easy today before I hurt myself or it's even worse tomorrow. So I just went for a short walk in the forest. Guess all this walking in the past days is still showing.

Also took this as a sign that the habit of exercising early in the morning is forming itself: My mind wants to exercise but my body does not.

I think one of the biggest mistakes is to not listen to what your body is trying to tell you. It tells you when it wants to exercise and when it doesn't. Imo, that's also why we feel bad when we don't exercise since we can feel our body longing for some exercise but our mind is not listening. Now I am at the spot where my mind wants to exercise more than my body. Not listening to my body again would destroy the habit in the long run again.

I should maybe start to look for other areas in my life that I can improve. I used to do intermittent fasting in the past and it worked really well. I want to do this again. Maybe I'll start in the next days.

See you around, cowboys!
