Hardships

There are things I'll never understand, like maternity photography or how to cook quinoa, but none so mystifying to me as why I never want to go to the gym. I want to be healthy and I want to lose weight, but I never get home from work and think, YESSSS, time for a workout. Or have my alarm go off at 5am and think, oh good, I was so sick of sleeping. About 50% of the time I make the right choice and drag my butt down there, but how can I make that 100%, or let's face it 75% would be better than good, right? Once I am there I enjoy my workout and never regret having done it, but it is that 10 minutes between walking in the door (or in some cases waking up) and getting my clothes on where I tend to talk myself out of it. I have tried bribery like $4 People magazines that I can only read at the gym, or super mega playlists to help get me pumped, but in the end escaping my own lazy is often hard to do. Since I have never been one to accept my faults (or even admit to them..let's be honest) I will continue to work on these things and hopefully reach a point where whether by force of habit or actual enjoyment I am dedicating myself to 4-5 workouts a week. If you have any ideas, short of George Clooney running in front of me as my proverbial carrot, please share in the comments!

Here We Are Again
