It makes me stupidly happy to find and combine videos where Kelli or Daniel are in the same outfit. So I made a two-week schedule of Daniel in red shirt, that I'll start on Monday.
For a little background – after several years of nice and steady going, I've been struggling with consistency a lot for almost a year now, had two couple-month full breaks randomly out of the blue, had started but not finished several programs, some old injuries tend to wake up too often, the checkmarks on my calendar are few and far between... I do always come back but my motivation dwindles, I lose direction and goal and am not sure what I'm doing and why. Ha! What a motivational speech.
Back to the bright side – it's been a month now of exercising again and this time it feels a tiny bit different, like it might stick. This time I even have a goal – to enter August with a 1000cal workout, which I haven't done in exactly a year (and this particular one, never!) And then for an extra kick in the rearside and added accountability, I decided to step out of lurk-mode and post this little Red-Dan-Plan here.
I'm looking forward to it, though some of the thumbnails look daunting, I hope it'll be doable and fun, and of course, there is always modifying 😉
If anyone is tempted to try out this plan with me, by all means! I would love to have workout buddies. I'll post short daily check-ins starting Monday.
Red Dan Plan
Hi everyone!
It makes me stupidly happy to find and combine videos where Kelli or Daniel are in the same outfit. So I made a two-week schedule of Daniel in red shirt, that I'll start on Monday.
For a little background – after several years of nice and steady going, I've been struggling with consistency a lot for almost a year now, had two couple-month full breaks randomly out of the blue, had started but not finished several programs, some old injuries tend to wake up too often, the checkmarks on my calendar are few and far between... I do always come back but my motivation dwindles, I lose direction and goal and am not sure what I'm doing and why. Ha! What a motivational speech.
Back to the bright side – it's been a month now of exercising again and this time it feels a tiny bit different, like it might stick. This time I even have a goal – to enter August with a 1000cal workout, which I haven't done in exactly a year (and this particular one, never!) And then for an extra kick in the rearside and added accountability, I decided to step out of lurk-mode and post this little Red-Dan-Plan here.
