It's time for me to start pushing myself, i think..
Finding out there is no fairy who will drop off a pretty box full of motivation tied with a big ribbon on my front doorstep!
No fair... lol
Time to work on a program and get myself at it.. i miss the positive mind that comes with a kickass workout, especially after walking & hiking out in the fresh air..
Let's see:
Gym Membership: CHECK
Elliptical, treadmill, weights & gear at home: CHECK
Lake not even 5 mins away with beautiful trails: CHECK
Good sneakers: CHECK
Workout Buddies: CHECK
Ability to workout alone: CHECK
Excuses: CHECK
i've plenty of them - so time to scratch that one off and get my butt in gear again..

It can be super hard to keep motivated. I can go off the rails at times too. I know you are sitting squarely in the procrastinate camp. While, I am not there personally to cheer you on, I am here electronically to cheer you on.
When I go through stages of not "doin what I need to do" I go back to the basics to try to nail that freaking issue that I am not looking at that wants me to fail. The Saboteur is alive and well in all of us. Sometimes I just need to sit quietly, ask to speak to it and try to figure it all out. If that does not work I go back to the CBT charts and start from square one. I don't always know that I am triggered. Or what is my trigger. Once I find out WHY I am dancing with The Saboteur, I can usually get off the dance floor.
Detectives. We are detectives!!!
I am in your corner cheering you on Sylvie!!!
