It's pretty hard to get motivated some days.
There are often 100 excuses.
My baby is sick, it's raining...
(Oh yeah---and I just don't feel like doing anything...)
We all know how we feel after we get a good workout in though, and shouldn't that be enough to motivate us?
Not always I know.
Especially when it feels like the couch and warm blanket is calling you...oh yeah, and the bag of chips and chocolates you picked up at the grocery store yesterday...
So today, whatever your excuse is for not wanting to pick your butt off the couch---I understand. But you aren't off that easy. You don't have to go for an hour long walk, you don't have to go for a run, jump on your WiiFit, lift weights, go swimming...no you don't need to do that.
However, you can go and vacuum the house, paint that wall or room that you have been putting off, sort out the recycling, do some laundry, wash the floors. It doesn't have to be anything major-but you need to do something. I need to do something. Burn off a few extra calories, feel good about accomplishing something with your day, and make sure that you don't eat more calories than you plan on burning....
Sometimes, it just about moving...or 'not-sitting'. Promise-we'll all feel better.
Now, away you go...
See you tomorrow, with a freshly painted bathroom!
