Every morning, ok, well, most mornings, I get up and exercise on a stationary bike. And, those mornings that I do get up and exercise, it is usually a terrible, painful battle with myself to get myself dressed and up on that bike. Something like this:
"*sigh*...but I exercised yesterday"
"But now it's today..and you need the exercise again"
"That'll be 4 times this week, and I only need 3 times a week"
"...seriously?"
"I don't feel like it"
"This isn't even for you, think of the baby"
"... You win"
And yet, every time that I do exercise I feel so much more productive and ready to tackle the day. I never regret it...I just have to keep winning the battle with myself and DO it.
I also discovered that a GREAT motivator is new music. I downloaded about 10 new songs on iTunes, which is more than enough songs for one workout, and it's been keeping me going. Next I will have to find some new TV show or something once I get tired of the songs.
Also, the Superbowl is on tomorrow and I am sure I will be eating way more than my fair share of junk foods....which will not be good for me... so I need to exercise it up to make up for tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteI didn't eat ANYTHING at the superbowl. And I still kind of regret it.... Wings, ribs, steak, all baked with BBQ sauce and love!
ReplyDeleteGood job on the exercize! I have been doing 2-3 times a week, and I really need to kick it into gear. I am sick of working.... it takes up my life. Do you think I could get someone to pay me to sit at home and eat cake? Then I would have more time for exercize.
Gah... these are just excuses. Such is my life... "You worked hard today, you deserve to watch this movie" "I will work out twice as hard tomorrow." you know how it is.
I would LOVE to be paid to stay at home and eat cake. And then have more time for exercise. That sounds absolutely dreamy!! It would be much easier to exercise if that were my job... I feel a little jealous of sports stars sometimes because they are basically getting paid millions of dollars to be healthy.
