Gym Blocked

I have a problem.

It’s motivation to work out.  I have none.  I currently have a fully functional gym membership, all the time in the world, and I live three blocks away and I cannot force myself to go.  Perhaps it’s the fact that I view it as “the worst thing I’ll do all day” (even though once I get there, I actively disagree with myself).  Maybe it’s because my gym clothes suck (but I love them…).  I don’t know–I just cannot force myself to get there.

So, here’s what I need.  All 3 of you who read this…I need to know how you motivate yourselves to go.  Respond in your inner monologue, using the exact phrasing you use to tell yourself the gym is a good thing and you must go.  Maybe I just need an inner monologue update.

Until then, I think I’ve talked myself into yoga as a workout again.  Yoga’s wonderful…but it’s not making my jeans any looser, if ya know what I mean…

    ahem….

    “I am less likely to die early, leaving no one to take care of Noah.”

    That’s all I’ve got, plus it’s a home treadmill on which I do the absolute minimum to not have to go on diabetes medication, which is quite minimal….so it’s good that I replied to this so late that you already found some other motive.

    Oh, and yoga rocks :)

    Here’s a mean trick:

    On your way to where ever you are going, stop by the gym and put your house key in a locker. That way, you have to stop by the gym on your way home.
