5, 6, or 7...?


My personal goal is to work out a minimum of 5 times a week. 


6 is awesome! 


And if there is a 7th, it is relaxed - usually a walk.


Based on past experience, the likelihood that I will go to the gym if I have to come home and get ready first, is reduced by approximately.........90% 100%.


So, everyday, I bring my gym bag to work, and I change into my stretchies before I even leave the office. Trust me, it is still hard sometimes to drive right. past. my. house. and keep going to the gym.....but I do it. Did I mention that I literally drive right past my house before I get to the gym? On those days that I would rather take a swift kick to the face than work out, it would be soooooo easy to listen to the devil on my shoulder, take that turn and go home to watch Ellen. But I don't.


I like working out. It may not result in a loss on the scale, but it does result in me feeling better. About myself, my health, my life, my body, and that cookie I had after lunch. 


You do what you gotta do.

Hahhaa you're ridic! And valid point... I need to bring my gym bag with me in the car. I have a similar situation.. I live RIGHT next to my gym. I always make the excuse that I'll just get ready real quick. Uhhh no, no. We ALL know that never happens. It's a hassle packing my gym bag, but it's a must. I continue loving your blog! Any change you'll be in the states? I live in Mass! :))
