Easier

I love this quote.  Some days I am jazzed and I can't wait to get my workout on.  I love the rush I feel when I'm done and I've sweated and I've pushed myself and used my muscles.  

But some days I wait and put on my workout gear, and it's like I'm looking around anticipating that desire to sneak up and attack me.  I'm tying my workout shoes and it's not there yet.  I'm walking to the tv and putting in the dvd and I'm still not just pumped up to go yet.  I push play and I'm still not excited to workout - there's a little letdown like my favorite workout buddy didn't show.  But by then it's too late.  I'm dressed and ready and Shaun T. is telling me to focus and bring my knees up to my waist in a slow jog.  Sigh.  No turning back now.  

The key is to keep going.  Keep pushing play if I feel like it or not.  If I saved my workout until later in the day and now my dinner is still sitting in my belly and I have to do the modified version the whole time, the point is that I still do my workout!  Keep the habit regardless.  Some days are better than others and that's ok.  You brush your teeth if you're dog tired right? (please say yes!). It's the same.

So don't worry if you don't love the process yet.  Remember the direction you're headed and slowly you realize that "huh, burpees used to be really hard"...
