A Confession and a New Plan

Ok, so my old plan to start getting more exercise has not been working out. Not at all! I bought the yoga mat and the new Training Shoe, but life just kept handing me other things to do. Not to mention on the days I did have the time, I never took off my bedroom slippers or put on anything that was remotely publicly acceptable.

So my new plan is to get out of my slippers first thing every morning and put on my workout shoes. That way I will be ready to fit it a walk or workout any time I get a minute and I won't have the excuse of having to get ready first. I know if I can stall for more than a minute, I will talk myself out of anything. Plus for me, I instantly have more energy if I look the part. Sometimes you have to trick your own mind into working for you.

I hear you. If you do it every single day it becomes part of your routine. It's the doing it everyday until it become part of your routine. Took me a while to do this, but I finally made it.

Good luck and have a terrific day. :)

What a good way to trick your mind into being ready for anything. I will have to keep it in mind.
