The dread of exercise
It’s like a black cloud hovering over me everyday. Just 30 minutes, that’s all you need Shawn, just 30 minutes. Just go do it and it’ll be over.
Excuse after excuse. Day after day. When am I going to hit my stride and do exercise on a regular basis? When am I going to find a time that works for me?
I really have no excuses. I could workout during naptime. I could get up 30 minutes earlier in the morning. Okay that would suck. But it’s an option. I could even workout when my hubbie gets home as he is this good to me. He’s even willing to go walk with me.
Still.
Nothing.
No desire.
I want to. I need to.
I just wonder, what is going to be the boot that kicks my a$$ in gear?
Today I read a few quotes from workoutmommy. (Yes, thank you Kristen, I learned about workoutmommy via your blog.) These were actual quotes from Gabrielle Reece in an interview with workoutmommy.com.
“If you have enough time to watch tv or get your nails done, then there is time to workout.”
“We are of no use to anyone else if we are not healthy and strong.”
There you have it. That’s my inspiration. For today anyway.
Do any of you out there struggle with exercise? Have any of you worked through the struggle with exercise and if so, how did you break through?
Please share your thoughts. I’d LOVE some advice. Please, I encourage you to become my boot.
Just think to yourself…Mom butt, or J-Lo butt…It helps me! Or even better go into Hollister and try on a pair of their jeans (warning: can cause severe depression)! That did it for me!
Also join netflix…they have all kinds of workout DVD’s from stripteasing coach Carmen Electra to Body Sculpting Gilad (my fave)!

Funny! I think I’ll skip going to Hollister. I would definitely spiral. But I do like the idea of trying out different workout dvd’s before buying them!!!
Thnx for the tips Trish ^_^
I am sooooo glad you are blogging!!!! I struggle with exercise all the time….bottom line, I do love what it does for me!!! That is my motivation!
HA, yea, blogging is just gonna be another excuse for me not to exercise!!
But truly it does make you feel better. I think I failed to talk about consistency - therein is where my biggest problem lies! HA!
Hey. People if you just need time to exercise. Just unplug the computers. Because this is just another excuse not to do it…Believe me I really dont have the time or I may be if I could get my own advise…Good luck to all of you trying to make time for yourself and never can find it…Hope doesn’t hit us latter on..
