All day today I've been thinking about what time I am going to work out; when does it best fit into my schedule? I decided that if I got off work on time, I would work out before my meeting @ 5:45. The time came for me to get off work and head to the elliptical and I have no desire to.
Instead, I get home, walk into the kitchen to put my lunch stuff away and remember there are COOKIES in the house! Really, you would think it would get easier with time to want to resist cookies, but it does not. (I prefer to avoid them altogether, because I never want to have JUST ONE. haha.) I decided that it would be smart to baggie up one of the cookies (a prized commodity in this house and only two left!) and take it with me for a snack later. I must say this is ridiculous! But, I knew that I was not the slightest bit hungry, but a cookie just sounded good so I will keep it for later. LOL.
My main question is why? Why do I think about exercising and am kind of excited for it, until the time to do it faces me!? Then I would rather look for food as a distraction instead of exercising.. It is scheduled into my day so that there is nothing else I must do at that time, but man, it is so frustrating. I never really want to do it. I do it because I have to (for myself) not because I want to.
What I would truly like to do after work is sit on the couch, watch TV and eat that cookie even though I am not hungry, maybe even both of the cookies. :)
Yet, I have refrained, at least for now and I am on the elliptical instead. But, I would like to know, does it ever get easier? If so, when?! I would love to enjoy working out, but instead it is part of a "to-do" list of tasks that have to be completed. Will it ever go on an "I can't wait and I am so excited" list?
Those are the thoughts of the day, 5 minutes left on the Elliptical and then some weights:)
Instead of food for thought..I've changed it to- apples for thought..
SO...
Apples for thought of the day:
Wearing 6 inch heel platform shoes of cuteness give you a great calf work out! you should try it
Also try drinking one more glass of water than you want to:)
Happy walking!
