COT

Truthfully, I’ve really been struggling with my motivation to work out lately. I dread it the night before and contemplate un-HCing in the morning and my effort isn’t great. But I’m committed to just showing up no matter what. Moving my body at all is better than nothing. I know my motivation will return eventually (probably after a few days off school and some sleep) but in the meantime I’m just going to keep showing up even if that’s the best I can do.
