Fighting the urge to workout

[Deleted]

The last thing on earth I should go do right now is workout. I'm 2 workouts in to a 10 workout week but I'm bored at home and not sure what to do with myself. I could clean but who wants to do that? I ate dinner already, and work is quiet so there's not much to do there.

I struggle with this more often than I should.

Read? Catch up on gossip websites?

Watch tv? Find something mindless and just zone out

I know exactly how you feel! My job isn't very fulfilling and I find myself bored often (both at work and home at certain times). I usually read, bake, or surf the internet. I am starting graduate school this summer and am taking a couple of pre-requisite classes now. I've always wanted to go back to school, but to be honest, a lot of my reasoning is because I'm bored and unfulfilled with my life. There's only so many runs I can do in a week, only so many weight sessions I can do, etc.

I feel similarly, a little bored with life and unfulfilled. H and I have done a lot of the things we wanted to do before we had kids, so a lot of what's on my mind is waiting to be pregnant now that we're TTC. I ditched all my old hobbies (baking, video games) so I find myself occasionally without much to do.

How about yoga? There are very gentle/relaxing kinds and the stretching would probably be good.

Beer?

Take up a new hobby!

I tried knitting. I'm halfway through a washcloth.

I just don't like sitting still!

I managed to get myself parked on my couch watching The White Queen. It's not bad.

Hm. I don't like sitting still either...now I am trying to think if I actually really have any hobbies besides running. I guess sewing is the one that can keep me occupied for hours. I'm working on re-teaching myself piano, but I can't sit still and do that for too long at a time.
