Sometimes its okay to be in a rut, you've got a lot on at the moment, and sometimes its okay to be lazy or not feel motivated...

If I relent and don't go out for a pedal I beat myself up and feel even worse. I also find for me riding is the best way to clear the mind of all that nattering clutter that is the cause of all my stressful frustrations! So go on apple dust off those pedals and go out for a spin - you know you'll love it!
Thanks Bella26, I left right after I read your post. I had a great time, I rode in Centennial Park and hung behind a couple of baby boomers and ended up doing 38km.
Very pleased with myself.
Thank goodness you motivated me, I was hanging around the male nuts thread and I really don’t belong there it was just wrong.

Because of this mental fatigue, my body follows and I am not motivated to pull my finger out to ride and do all the things that make me euphoric and feel on top of the world.

Sounds like just the thing a ride would help fix!

I agree that a good ride each morning will help you get this stuff churned over and finished.
However if you REALLY need help (I might know someone who can sell you some speed.)

Cycling is a reward and one idea is that when you have done certain chores, cycling is a reward.
What this could do is help you focus on efficiently getting chores done, problems solved to then reward yourself with cycling.
I will PM you a reading suggestion, everyone has time to read
The author I have in mind had strategies for settings priorities that help you get more important things done more quickly... and have time for other important things like family time and time for yourself.

The move was stressful, I didn’t have internet for about a week.
So many things to do. I have been cleaning cleaning and more cleaning. Got the unpacking done and organised all the trades men that I needed. Even had all the hooks up in the garages for my beautiful bikes.
I will take myself out on Sunday for a beautiful me time on the bike.
I am a woman with a mission, that mission is almost compete.

Yes so true, but I am anal about cleanliness, I think I am a germ phobic the house we sold was new; I designed it, the one we moved to is 100 years old with 100 years of dirt.Pax wrote: Isn't it frustrating how you scrub clean the place you leave then you have to clean the one you move to!!!

You should come with us on the next Wimp ride. Don't worry about speed because we will try to have lots of regroup points. We need more Princesses and less Poseurs.

Seeing I have done all the cleaning and the place feels like home, I will take myself for a ride in the morning, a day earlier and I will also go on Sunday if motivated.

Don't forget. "Your bum looks better on a bike." How's that for motivation?

Wasn't it a great day for riding? I was with a group, and we went through a part of the Northern Beaches that I've never been on. Any new route is an interesting experience. It was a bit too industrial and had too many roundabouts for my liking though.Apple wrote:Thank you Shaun,
