Most of the time, if I set my mind to it, I'm okay. Sometimes, I have to make a deal with myself that I'll only do 15 minutes and then I can quit. Well, when the 15 minute mark comes around, I'm not ready to quit and so, I finish the workout. Some of the time, I will bribe myself. IF I go workout, and do a good, full, HONEST effort workout, then I can do ****** or go buy *****.

I'm kind of vain, though it might not be obvious to look at me, but there are certain things that I struggle with and I know that physical exercise is the ONLY way those things are going to get "fixed" or at least change in the right direction. If nothing else, that usually works for me.

Of course, there are days when I fight with myself and my inner five year old wins, stomping her foot and pouting and all. *wry grin*
