Motivations for working out

Team, Not a better way to start this blog off then with my struggle. I just got home from work 20 minutes ago after a long emotionally exhausting day. The last thing on my mind is making good choices about exercise. I am fighting off a flood of negative thoughts about getting to the gym and as much as I am visiting the idea of lying in my bed for a while or cozying on the couch with my wife. I know I need to put in my time at the gym

Tonight my motivations are stronger than my impulses

I know I will feel good after wards not only mentally but I hate to miss out on the sense of euphoria that a good cardio work out gives me. It will help me sleep better and keep my appetite on track. And long term, I am bound and determined to be a healthy father for this baby my wife and I are having. So, I am fighting through the discomfort. I know you are with me. I am with you.

  2. Jenny, I proud of you for taking initiative and posting. I just want to say your poetic expression is very beautiful.

    You know a new start is very powerful because really it is the mind saying I am ready to make a change. And change in behavior isn't going to happen unless your mind is ready for that change.

    Jenny, I also appreciate your willingness to be led but also keep in mind that I simply want to be your guide that helps you stay on your own unique path.

  3. Team, I hope all is doing well and you are not having too much trouble getting on this blog :)

    Tonight, again a difficult night. I saw a client from 530 pm to 630 pm and was able to push myself through the discomfort and go for a run. One of the hardest things for me is to exercise in the cold. In order to make this easier for me, I try to be is prepared as I can about laying warm clothes out either the night before or an hour before. So, not only does it ease the transition but is a natural reminder for me to put in the work
