When you just don't feel like it.

There are times when you just don't feel like working out. You think you have better things to do, you're tired, you're not motivated or just plain old "life has got you down" syndrome. This happens to everyone and I know that normally I use any one of these "bad" excuses as a reason to stop me from reaching my goals. Well, not this time. I've got more motivation today than I have wishes to not do my workout today.

It makes it tough to get started when I'm in this type of mood but this is one of the main reasons I pre-scheduled my workouts. I'm like that though....even with doctor appointments. It's hard for me to make them but once I do I feel very guilty if I don't keep them. So by having my workouts scheduled I feel like I have to do them, whether I want to or not. It also helps to have someone to workout with you on a regular basis. You feel obligated to keep to your schedule in order to keep them from allowing the "bad" excuses to get them down. Funny thing is....once I have completed my workout I am so glad I did it and I look forward to the next day's workout.

Things always get better and you are glad you PUSHED your way through the tough times. On the good days you just enjoy the daily workouts and plan for your interval photos so you can see if there are any changes. I know I'm not really seeing any changes right now but the proof is in the pictures. Which BTW is in five days....oh no! LOL

I'm prepared whether the photos are good or bad. It took me many years to get in this shape and to expect miracles in thirty days well......it'd be great but.....if there are no miracles well, then I aim to push on until I reach my miracle.....which in this case, is my healthy body goal.

So if you are having one of those rough days just PUSH through it....better days are ahead. You'll feel much better in the end if you TRY to reach your goals and you don't make it than if you GIVE UP on your goals and never know if you could have done it or not. It's always worth the effort.
