Work Out

Several excuses are always less convincing than one. - Aldous Huxley

Having failed over and over again at trying to stick to a workout routine I have come to the conclusion that the problem is my goal. I have to change my focus from I must lose weight and get fit to simply I must stick to this. So, at least for right now, I am not going to log my weight or my progress. I am simply going to start making myself go to the gym. Once this becomes second nature perhaps I will set more specific goals.

So for now I plan on only working out at the gym on work days. I figure I'm in town for work 4 days a week and I can do cardio on the treadmill every day I'm here and pick 2 days of the 4 to do strength traning. This will begin on Monday. I'm still recovering from a cold so I am giving myself today off and tomorrow I will be off work so Monday through Thursday of this coming week will be my first week at the gym. I will go after I get off work each morning before I head home.

I have to do something. My job requires me to sit in a chair for 12 hours at a time which is not good. To be fair I'm not eating hardly anything anymore but that's also not good since I'm not getting the nutrition I need.

I am going to pack a gym bag and leave it in my car. It will have a sports bra and tennis shoes and shorts and a tee and pants and a coat to wear over this on my way to the gym since its freezing outside. No more excuses. I will do this! I have to just start and make it a habit.
