I sometimes struggle with staying motivated as well. Earlier this year I signed up for six different 5K events so I had them on my calendar as a reminder to workout and train. I keep a pair of sneakers at my desk so I can go for a walk during lunch or between meetings instead of sitting all day. I'm generally successful with this 2-3 times per week as sometimes with back to back meetings it just doesn't work.
Back in September, I took a workshop called, Relieving Stress: Self-Care for Busy People. It was taught by my daughter, Vanessa, who has been an allied health professional for many years. I learned a lot in those 90-minutes and have been able to implement some of her suggestions. I particularly found the breathing exercises beneficial. Being able to calm my mind and focus has helped me to stay motivated not only in my wellness journey but overall.

Haven't posted for awhile. Still doing OK...Below 200 pounds. Last time I weighed I was 197. Went on vacation this last week..Las Vegas and The Grand Canyon. Did a lot of walking on both. Saturday picked up garbage in a large church's parking lot (with a grabber)...Walked about 2 miles doing that one. Rode my bike to the coffee shop...Got my cup of soup (navy bean...Yeah, I put up with one rather than really enjoy it). It is about 2.5 miles each way. I turned 62 last month...Had all kinds of RNY tests done to see why I am slowing down. All came back normal, so maybe more exercise will help with endurance. Maybe I'm just getting old!! Pollution is still bad here in the Central Valley. It was real bad a few weeks ago with the Napa Valley fires...A lot blew our way. I drop my gym membership on the 26th of this month. Thought we would get more rain to clear up the air...But will have to wait till at least the second week on November. The smog has limited my bike riding (two heart attacks...don't want to risk it). Will do mostly walking till the air gets better. Later, Brian PS Plan on riding my bike to the flea market/sales yard tomorrow...Will get my cheap massage...

Happy work out everyone
I do believe we all have different inside clocks. You sound happier working out 1st thing in the morning. Maybe you could wear your workout clothes into work and do it before work or take a quick run prior to getting into the car to drive there. Actually breaking up your workout is probably a great idea if you can swing it. I put my workout clothes right in the bathroom the night before and jump into them 1st thing in the morning on my way out to the coffee pot. That way I am out the door and running before I have woken up enough to change my mind
