I originally sat down to write a blog post about an hour and a half ago. I was going to write about how I hadn't been to the gym since Sunday, and why I wasn't going to go tonight, even though I knew I should. But as I began composing the post in my head (I often do this through out the day, and inevitably forget something witty I planned to say that once I remember, no longer makes any sense in a future post), I realized that every excuse I had for NOT working out today, was exactly WHY I SHOULD.
I have made a conscious decision not to lie in my blog, not even a little (at least intentionally). So not only did I realize that I had no valid excuse for not working out, but I also realized that I felt guilty about the idea of not working out, and embarrassed to have to tell the truth in such a public forum. That was the motivation I needed, and I promptly changed from my PJs to a sports bra and yoga pants and ran out the door.
So now, here I sit, still sweaty from an hour on the elliptical, and so glad for it. And this is why I blog. It really does keep me accountable. Thanks.
EDIT: Also, Sakief. Sakief helped convince me to work out. Can't forget to acknowledge my man :)

Yay for gym! I'm impressed you do the elliptical for an hour. The most I can do is 45 minutes before I get bored, however, I too went to the gym tonight. Yay us!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! That's the hardest, going to the gym when you don't want to. SO PROUD!
ReplyDeleteI started blogging recently hoping it will be same motivating to me as it is to You :) I'm low carber as well, though fitness never been significant part of my life finally I decided to change it. I've looked around your site and found it very inspiring. I'll be watching you
