I normally stick with my promises pretty well. The only major exception is when it comes to showing up on time, cutting back on beer, and going to the gym. Not sure why these things are so hard for me but they are! No matter what I do to change/improve myself I always revert back to bad habits and mind sets. What is the old saying “bad habits die hard” or “old habits die hard”? Either one would work in my situation.
Once again though I have vowed to change. I promised Mike that while I might verbally fight him to go to the gym (ie whining and negotiating) I will go. I will not be a downer and absolutely refuse to go but I’m not going to get excited about going for the moment. Right now going to the gym and working out feels like a chore to me but Mike is getting great pleasure out of going. Thus the big ordeal at the apartment each and every night with him wanting to go right away and me wanting to relax after work and possibly eat dinner first.
So far this week I have been true to my word. I have pushed back a little with wanting to go later in the evening but I have been good and I have made it to the gym. We haven’t missed a day since last Thursday and have spent some quality time at the gym. I am feeling much better and less sore after my workouts as well which is the first step in helping me learn to enjoy the gym as well. Heck I even ran my mile today with just a 30 second water break. That is pretty darn good if you ask me. I just need to figure out this blister issue on the balls of my feet and I will be able to continue on to maybe a mile and a half or two miles at a time.
