If it was easy, everyone would be doing it!

Why is it just so hard to stay motivated to workout ALL the time?  I will be really good for a couple weeks, months, and then the next week I feel like it's just easier to do nothing.

It is ALOT easier to sleep and eat like crap, but it's an endless cycle.  I don't get up in the morning to workout, leads to not drinking water during the day, to eating bad and crappy food for meals, leads to being tired, sluggish and body shutting down and not wanting to get up in the morning.  As you see it's a horrible cycle that doesn't stop until you do something about it.  I would love to say that I am motivated all the time, but I have good and bad weeks.  Until today, this week was NOT a good week!  Yes you can turn your week around on a Friday, you don't have to wait till Monday or January 1st.

The good thing is that you are the only one to change it!  Like Dr. Phil always says (By the way, I rarely quote Dr. Phil but it's a good saying)  "How's that working for ya?"  For me, I get so mad at myself when I don't get up to workout in the morning because I feel so much better when I do.  I eat better, I am more motivated, I get more accomplished at home after work, and get a better nights rest.

Why would I not get up to workout when the alternative is so much worse???  I guess it's all the reason's and excuses that we give ourselves each day.  I'm too busy, I'm too tired, I don't have any money, it's too hard.  Well I'm here to say that those excuses SUCK and even though they occasionally run through my mind too, you have to step up and stop making excuses and start making changes.  It doesn't matter if it's a Monday, Friday or Sunday.  Each day you wake up, you have the option to make it a good or bad day.  You are the only one that has the say in it, so what is it gonna be??  For me, I'll take my new found motivation and make it a great day!

 Waiting patiently to go on our run
