Way to go on starting c25k. I waited until after the winter thawed to start the program last year myself, so good on you for hitting the new year hard.
There will always be a "next Monday", but do you want to be in the same position when it comes around again? Of course not. But in some areas, like running, you may be (c25k does repeat time/distance ran vs walked to not build up difficulty too quick) but you are certainly not in the same place in other areas. Even if you are not able to run on a day, what about a shower? Making a healthy treat for yourself?
I guess my point is even when you are feeling like one item on your plan seems impassable, look back and consider the small things that you haven't given yourself credit for. I would think I had had a "zero day" where I had done nothing, but brushing my teeth and moving from my bed to the couch and dropping food into the dog's bowl was my victory for that day and while I was aware that I had not achieved all of my goals for the day, I still put in some work for myself down the road and it helped keep my gaze in front instead of at or behind my feet. Don't let anyone else define your victories though.
Thrash on, metal mama!
i could have waited but i feel like had i then i never would have starrted LOL. I have a small list of things that i need to get done throughout the day and thats what I base my good days on, i then slowly add to the list so i dont get to overwhelmed ;) i know im really hard on myself but its something im starting to get better at!
I argue that that is the most important thing on my daily to-do list--be kind to myself. This is most often achieved on days I'm successful with keeping my gaze a little down the line to my next bite-size short term goals to chisel away at my longer term ones. You know your path best, keep on!
