Good morning healthies
Sticking with the plan over here and it feels good. Ironically, I find it much harder to get on the Mobia, even though it's literally right here in my bedroom than it is to get in the car, drive to Curves, work out 30 minutes, stretch for 10, and drive home.
I think it may be partly that the Mobia is very intense exercise, so I can only sustain it for frustratingly short periods of time....and end up beating myself up over that. With the Curves, I show up....I do my circuits...I can do it, my heart rate is where it should be, I sweat a little, people are friendly, and the time flies by.
I'm sure it also helps that I'm doing Curves first thing in the morning, before I get distracted by the rest of the day. Whatever it is....it's working. I've been going faithfully Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings...and I can feel the difference already.
I also know that I'm lucky...since I have another incentive....greed!
My company pays for my gym membership, and also pays me $100 a month into my health savings account if I go to the gym 3 times a week. True, I can only spend the money on health expenses....but in a household where both my son and I wear glasses, go to the doctor and dentist, and I am on diabetic prescriptions...that's always a useful thing.
Ironically (again), I had this incentive available all of last year...and never joined a gym.
I think, frequently, it has to be a meeting of internal motivation and external support before things really click....at least for me.
Hugs to you all!
