I wish I was always motivated. I could pin it on a number of things and I’m sure they’re all a bit to blame: It’s dark early; I’m working too many hours; My kids have already called me at least twice to see what’s for dinner; I’m tired; Nothing sounds FUN! Maybe it can be traced back to our ancestors who spent warm months hunting and gathering and then hunkered down through the winter.
Regardless, I don’t typically find it hard to get to the gym. These past few months, my attendance in sweat sessions has been sporadic at best and downright embarrassing. I’ve downloaded new workout tunes on my iPod. I called up a friend about meeting for a gym session (to which he replied “Come on. I’m always there! Where are YOU?”) and I bought cute new workout gear because yes, that usually motivates me. I bought the latest edition of my favorite workout magazine http://www.oxygenmag.com/index.php
Still not motivated. Right now I want to watch bad TV, hot chocolate in hand, and I’m sure if I could drag my butt off the couch, I would find an unopened box of Tagalongs™ http://www.girlscoutcookies.org/meet_the_cookies.asp in the cupboard.
I will rally and get through this and I will be happy I did. In the meantime, what do YOU do when you’re lacking motivation? I’d love to hear anything guilt and shame free.
