i need a kick up the proverbial...

[sassi]

i'm about to leave work to go home.

when i get home i plan to have dinner then exercise...but i know there's a good chance the couch will try it's best to distract me!

any butt kicking motivational statements are very welcome to greet me when i log in at home!

Hi sassi




Get off the couch mate!!! Have you had a healthy dinner and exercised yet???

I have a new motivational mantra which has been helping me a LOT these past few weeks... "Just keep moving". Everytime I find myself drifting into a bit of a trance (ie watching TV, Facebooking, day dreaming etc.) I say to myself "Just keep moving" and i get up and do the dishes or put the washing away. As long as I'm doing 'something', I feel like I'm making progress, no matter how small

Ciao bella!

Its hard some days isnt it! I like Sans mantra of 'just keep moving' ive made myself get into a routine, as soon as i get home from work i get changed and exercise. No sitting even for a minute because once i sit, thats it! Sometimes im literally dragging my feet and getting changed super slow like a small child would!! But its worked for me.

Plus Sassi you'll feel so much better when you do and then it will be over and done with!!

how'd you go sassi? sometimes its easy to want to just sit down and relax after a long day, but think how well you are going to sleep after your workout!

[sassi]

thanks girls!

i did 35 mins on the exercise bike - i told myself i'd do 20 mins and then i just kept going. feel much better now & a really good way to unwind after a long day

good girl!

well done sassi i bet you felt better for it- and you even did extra!

[sassi]

i sure did feel better for it! and this morning i did 10 mins on the bike & then 10 mins of weights just to get me started for the day.

if i can just string 2 weeks together of exercise i think i'll be set & a fair way to having a routine. as it is, because i've been exercising fairly regularly over the last month or two, i really feel ick if i don't exercise for a day now.

next week will be challenging - i have 3 days of working late-ish. well, only till about 7.30 each day, but by the time i get home & have dinner i'll be pretty tired. i'll need some more of san's big boot i think!

Good on you Sassi, you've done well!!
