I usually prefer to break a sweat by taking on an activity or chore that needs accomplished and also gives me a good workout. Maybe not vacuuming with the Kirby, but certainly gardening, stacking firewood, raking or shoveling, painting, and pretty much anything to avoid "exercise for the sake of exercise". Nevertheless, there are some things we must do for the sake of our sanity and our relationships that are not always top on the list - the gym in the winter is one of them!
The epiphany today was that it isn't that I don't enjoy the gym once I get there, the real issue is - you guessed it - the locker room! There's just something about seeing the person who rings up your groceries in their birthday suit that alters the whole shopping experience. Of course, they say the best way to get over being nervous during a speech is to visualize the audience in their underwear...., maybe if I start rehearsing for presentations in the locker room I'll conquer both issues at once! At any rate, I'm committed to hitting the gym every other day until the leaves are on the trees, so I'm sucking it up! Bring on the biceps and the flat stomach!
Today's weight: 158.4 and holding steady
