It is sort of late in the day but I just got back from the gym. I waited too long to push myself out of the door but there was no way I could let myself mess up by day 4 of this 21 day habit process I am putting myself through. Whatever trick it takes...I'll try it on myself and it seems to be working so far to get me to the gym. I have to admit on Friday (day two) at 10 minutes before I was ready to leave work I was thinking I didn't want to go and work-out and would skip it. I then thought to myself it would be ridiculous to only have one day accomplished. Then I knew this morning (day four) I should have gotten my work-out done earlier but when I didn't do it I tried to rationalize how it would be okay to miss today. How would it be okay? So I got up and went. Now I'm back from the gym and it was actually a good thing. I mean this isn't a hard trick. My rule is simple. It's only a 30 minute work-out I am going for in this 21 day time frame. Every day for 21 days - a 30 minute work-out and it doesn't have to be all running, although these four days it has been. But I can change it up and cycle or something else if I could remember the names of the machines but I don't right now and I don't think it matters since I'm done for the day.
I think now I'll grab a glass of wine, do some ironing, while watching a cooking show. My Sunday evenings are so predictable. It was earlier in the day that almost went off track.
