There's Always An Excuse

I always wanted to be super athletic, outdoorsy and just naturally love working out... but I am not and I do not.  Who doesn't look at those people who make working out seem like no big deal and feel a bit of envy.  Like, "Yeah, I go to the gym, but I don't really think about it, it's just what I do."  Sigh.  Again, that is not me.  I have this inner torment every time I think about going to the gym.  I make up a million excuses not to go.  There is however, one thing that gives me the slightest bit of motivation to get my a*s in gear.  That is thinking about the guilt I will feel if I skip the gym for no reason and I sit at home watching tv for hours.  Skipping the gym makes me feel good for a hot second then I feel guilty for hours.  So, sometimes I go to the gym just so I can actually go home afterwards and relax.  It's not much and it doesn't always work, but I do love feeling like the gym is behind me and I can actually live the rest of my day.. 

I have to share this commercial because it's hilarious.  Whether you work out or not I think you can appreciate this.  I am so glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this!  




At the end of the day, whatever gets me to the gym is fine.  Who cares if the motivation is silly and selfish.  It works for me - what works for you?

Love, Lizzie
