I’ll say the thing. If I turn into one of those people who chirps “I feel so amaaaazziinnnngggg when I start off my day at 6am with a good workout!” I’m gonna be pissed.
me, after Day One of this workout adventure
<><><><><><><><><><>
Meanwhile the gym walls are covered with oh-so-nicely framed posters that say things like:
Push yourself, because no one else is going to do it for you.
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Believe and Succeed.
<><><><><><><><><><>
You know what I say? I believe I have succeeded when my cranky ass doesn’t throw my water bottle at one of these posters. Bless.
Linda hosts One-Liner Wednesday. Check out her blog to see who else is participating this week.
Success is subjective. I doubt that I will ever push myself as hard as my personal trainer does. That’s why I pay her for a half hour a week at the Y. Today, she really pushed me to work my arms. At one point, I said, “This is challenging.” She said, “That’s why I’m here, to challenge you.” It’s a good thing I didn’t bring a water bottle and only grumbled in my head.

I am also super over dry January talk.

That one hasn’t been as intrusive for me but I’m guessing it’s something like CrossFit — converts like to sing the praises.

I hear you. I guess it’s my own insecurity that I’m being lazy and like a cocktail! Thanks for commenting 🙂

Please don’t feel like you’re being lazy. Participate in dry January, don’t participate in dry January, both are a choice. I’m sure not judging you for your cocktails (as I post a pick of birthday margaritas so…).

I am becoming one of those people who says I feel better after my core-strengthening exercises. Of course, they are done in the comfort of my home AFTER my coffee, do not require me to get down on the floor – because getting back up, well, we really don’t want to think about that -and each bit only lasts about ten minutes so how long I do them depends on my choice. I can be righteous, but I don’t have to spend a long time being so.

Everything in moderation sounds like a terrific game plan with exercise. More folks should embrace that one, I think.

Even after coffee I find the insertion of sunshine in unnatural locations extremely objectionable no matter how well the intention.

I always chose my workout time AFTER coffee. Otherwise, well, it would not be pleasant.

This is such a logical system to me! My people are all “first period starts at 8:25” and “I’ve got a meeting at 9am” and there I am with BUT MY COFFEE. 😂😂

Haha! These too cheesy motivational quotes are sometimes that make us go in the opposite directions.
