I Love Working Out

I am feeling frustrated lately. I am exercising but I am slacking off and I don't know why exactly. I need to be doing MORE and I am doing less. The motivation is there, but it's like my body is rebelling onto moving into a higher level. Am I pushing to hard, what causes this?
(If anyone has any answers I would actually like to know, lol.)
I will say ever since I decided to do this 5K in October is when I noticed this problem. I don't feel ready for it, and perhaps I am psyching myself out. It will be my first one. Over the course of a day I am doing 2- 21/2 miles. It's only a little over another mile to get there, so what am I so scared of?
After years of neglect I am finally paying attention to my body again. I worry that I won't be able to complete it and I hate failure, so perhaps there is some internal sabotage at play.
Maybe I should reconsider it. Prior to the idea of this 5K I was pushing myself harder and getting my steps in, sigh.
Not giving up, not quitting, but definitely frustrated.

Bemy....you might be onto something there. I haven't gotten much sleep at all the past 10 days, so that could very well explain why my body can't keep up. Wow, thanks for saying that. You'd think I'd connect the two but didn't lol.

Goralski- is that some sort of supplement?

Archie- I AM in my head to much, lol. You are also right, doing something is better than skipping altogether. I am all uptight about this 5K and I am forgetting I started working out for my health and weight loss, not just a 5K lol.
I commend you on never giving up. I have learned as I get older, listening to my body is essential since we can do but so much. When neglect our body's need to rest, it will shut down when you least expect it. I know that from experience. Our minds may be on the go go go but our bodies say..yeah we can do this...but take it easy we'll get there. Cheers to you.
Yes, please rest. There is nothing so good and natural for you than plain ole rest. Sleep is so vital and helps ease the mind to coordinate with your body.🤗

Sounds like you have to get out of your own head. Don't think of failure, think about attempting something you've never done before. By taking those first steps, you will already have accomplished something new. I get that feeling sometimes where I feel like I've had a crappy workout and I don't want to finish. However, then I remember doing something is better than nothing.
