I did NOT exercise yesterday. In fact, I haven’t exercised in about a week. Why can’t I just do it???? Why can’t I do it consistently?
I know it’s good for me. I feel better after I do it—energized and refreshed.
I sleep better.
My backaches go away.
I’m burning calories and building muscle. I’m increasing my metabolism.
I usually make my calorie count for the day when I exercise.
SO WHY CAN’T I DO IT CONSISTENTLY?????
I am supposed to be a logical person, most of the time. Why am I such a lazy bum when it comes to exercise? This is ridiculous. I’m such a basketcase.
I’ve played all the mind games, and they just don’t work. I exercise when I feel like it, which is about once or twice a week. I don’t exercise when I feel lazy. I’d like to exercise 5 days a week, ideally.
I think I need a good swift kick in the head.

How about some incentives? Get some little star stickers and put one up on the calendar every day you exercise. Give yourself some reward every time you have four consecutive stars. Or, add up the minutes you exercise. When you hit 1000 minutes you get a reward.
It's funny how the serious stuff, like health benefits don't seem to be enough, but give me a gold shiny star, and I'm there!
HAHAHA. JK. Unless you really want that swift kick. I could use the exercise.
Maybe I'll try Stephenie's gold star idea. :)
I did get some exercise DVDs--one is beachbody.com's Power 90 (ouch,) and one is a dance one and another is a walking one. I also have a Billy Blanks' one. Sigh. Put it into the machine, push play, lie on the floor and complain....
I used to say, "Tomorrow is another day to get with it." Now I say, "I can't believe I'm still breathing in and out, so it's a good day!"
