Keeping the Pace

It’s February and I’m already struggling in my consistency at the gym.  Can anyone relate?

If you’ve been reading along with me for awhile, you may recall my less-than-remarkable motivation for exercise from a previous blog (click here to read).  Maintaining my physical fitness is not my favorite pastime, especially when I grown accustom to my lack-of-fitness.  A simple reflection of my coming and going over the course of a week would probably lead you to the conclusion that I’d rather “nurture” my body with procrastination and comfort food than make the trek to the gym.

Taking mental note of my rapid decline, I have begun re-employing some techniques that help me to keep up the pace. 

The Divine Target

“Let’s go to the gym.”

I have decided these 5 little words are some of the most powerful in the English language.  They either launch adrenalin into your system upon contact, initiate inward groans from post-workout recovery nightmares, or inspire a guilt complex worthy of a full blown Double Chocolate Chunk ice cream binge.  In other words you either love it, hate it (but do it anyway), or don’t do it (even though your mirror has advised you otherwise).
